The plain, abstractive chassis with the minimum built-in control knobs, without a hint of sophistication and effort to impress,
which is in stark contrast with the logo «Apoliton», automatically creates high expectations with its puristic character.
Yet, have no doubt, this amplifier is not trying to convulse with its external aesthetics,
rather with its internal and invisible sonic virtues and rebut in absolute terms the status quo,
causing an undeniable reversal and contestation of facts in the field of high-end car amplifiers.
Designed from scratch with primary target the proper operation, it has been through countless evolution stages and 'treated'
in every aspect, in order to obtain step by step its distinctive sound character, eventually condensing into one the accurate reproduction
of the entire audio spectrum acoustics and the listening enjoyment.
It is the brainchild of a small group of experts in the field of car-audio and the extract of long, arduous and persistent trials
and groundbreaking technological choices.
Above all, however, it is marked by the passion of its creators to find a new sound interpretation of the musical dimensions:
made by creative people, passionate about their work for people with a passion for music.
A few words about the history of the Apoliton amplifier
This project started in March 1996 and the first update came in September of the same year.
Since then, it has been through several stages of development.
The entire amp, including the switch mode power supply, is designed from scratch.
The main target was to design an amplifier that would perform correctly as far as specs were concerned.
This dictated an unusual approach from what we usually see.
For example, the power supply is fundamentally different from what we see in the market,
because of our sound clarity standards. This led us to a new level of development.
A microcontroller was used at the power supply section, whose software comes with a lifetime warranty.
The power supply is tailored to the demands of the audio amplifier stage.
The audio amplifier topology is also different from what we usually see.
The unique design is fast, stable and extremely accurate.
Since music is about feelings, we wanted to be sure this amplifier would
be able to pass these feelings to the listener.
Since 2014 the project evolved mainly on listening tests.
There were hundreds of studio listening tests with reference set ups and comparisons with home power amplifiers.
The exhausting tests lasted till November 2017.
The outcome is one of the best four channel amplifiers ever made.
