TEAC Audio AX‑505

Discover compact high-performance amplification with the TEAC Audio AX-505 — a powerful, fully-balanced integrated amplifier delivering studio-level clarity in an A4-sized footprint.

Product Description

The TEAC Audio AX-505 is a stereo integrated amplifier designed for audiophiles who demand serious sound but want a smaller form factor. The AX-505 uses a tuned Hypex Ncore module delivering up to 130 W + 130 W into 4 Ω, with 90 W + 90 W into 8 Ω, providing dynamic authority and clean power delivery. 

This model features fully balanced analog inputs (including one pair of XLRs) along with three pairs of unbalanced RCA inputs, giving you flexible source connectivity with low-noise signal paths. 

The headphone output uses a specialized “CCLC” (capacitor-less coupling) circuit and a 4-pole jack, making the AX-505 a serious listening option even for high-end headphone users. 

Despite its compact size, the AX-505 has solid build quality, with a full-metal chassis, passive-cooling design (no internal fan), and classic style VU/level meters with dimming options. 

Whether for bookshelf speaker systems, compact floorstanders, or headphone setups, the AX-505 offers high fidelity, refined tonality, and versatile connectivity in a modern signature TEAC design.
