The Advance Paris (formerly Advance Acoustic) MAP series, specifically models like the MAP 305DA, are high-performance integrated amplifiers known for their heavy build quality, distinctive blue-lit VU meters, and integrated digital-to-analog converters (DAC). While a specific "MAP 350" model is not widely documented in current manufacturer lists, it follows the design philosophy of the MAP 305 and 306 series, featuring high power reserves and hybrid-like performance.
Amplifier HiFi 2x 100Watt made in France with DAC , digital and optical outputs.
Most MAP series amplifiers feature a "High Bias" switch on the rear panel, allowing the unit to operate in Class A for the first few watts (typically up to 30W) before automatically switching to Class AB for higher power demands.
Integrated DAC: Models designated with "DA" include a built-in 24-bit/192 kHz stereo digital converter with multiple digital inputs (coaxial and optical) for connecting CD/DVD players or other digital sources.
Power Delivery: These amplifiers typically offer 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, often doubling to 200 watts into 4 ohms, supported by large toroidal transformers (e.g., 600 VA) and high-current bipolar transistors.
Chassis Design: Features an ultra-rigid chassis with sealed compartments to eliminate electromagnetic interference between different internal circuits
