Flagship monoblock power amplifier • 220W RMS into 8Ω / 350W RMS into 4Ω • switchable High Bias Class A mode • massive 700VA toroidal transformer • iconic blue VU meter
The Advance Paris X-A220 EVO Mono Amplifier is a reference-grade monoblock power amplifier engineered to deliver total channel separation, immense dynamic reserve, and uncompromised acoustic fidelity. Delivering a massive 220W RMS into 8 Ohms (350W into 4 Ohms), it utilizes a dedicated monoblock topology anchored by a massive 700VA toroidal power supply and triple-pair high-current output transistors. Highlighted by a large backlit blue VU meter and a switchable High Bias mode for Class A operation, the Advance Paris X-A220 EVO Mono Amplifier provides the muscle and delicacy required to drive the world's most demanding loudspeakers.
Key Features & Innovations
Dedicated monoblock architecture — the Advance Paris X-A220 EVO Mono Amplifier provides complete electrical and physical isolation between channels when used in stereo pairs, eliminating crosstalk and expanding soundstage realism.
Switchable High Bias (Class A) power mode — features a rear-panel High Bias switch that configures the amplifier to operate in pure Class A mode for the first few watts of output, delivering silky, low-distortion reproduction for vocal and acoustic detail.
Massive 700VA toroidal power transformer — backed by a colossal custom toroidal transformer and high-capacity power filter bank to deliver instantaneous current during heavy bass transients.
Balanced XLR & single-ended RCA inputs — includes gold-plated balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs with rear-panel selection switches to interface seamlessly with reference preamplifiers.
Rigid anti-resonant chassis with blue VU meter — built inside a heavily damped steel frame with an elegant black methacrylate front panel housing a large, illuminated analog VU meter.
FAQ — X-A220 EVO Mono Amplifier
How many X-A220 EVO amplifiers do I need for a stereo setup?
Because the Advance Paris X-A220 EVO Mono Amplifier is a dedicated monoblock power amplifier, you will need two units—one for the left channel and one for the right channel—in a standard 2-channel stereo system.
What is the benefit of the High Bias switch on the monoblock?
Activating the High Bias switch causes the amplifier to operate in pure Class A mode at low-to-moderate output levels, eliminating crossover distortion for warmer, sweeter mids and highs before automatically transitioning to Class AB at high power demands.
Can I trigger both monoblocks to power on automatically?
Yes. Each unit features 12V Trigger In/Out connectors so both amplifiers can be daisy-chained and powered on or off simultaneously from your preamplifier or streamer.
Is the front VU meter lighting adjustable?
Yes. The meter illumination intensity can be adjusted or completely switched off via controls on the rear panel to match your room lighting environment.
