The amplifiers produced by Accuphase have traditionally been known for their delicate and refined sound, and the E-5000 is no exception. In addition to this characteristic Japanese sound, the E-5000 also boasts impressive rhythmic qualities and dynamic performance.

The E-5000 is the flagship high-power Class AB integrated amplifier developed to mark Accuphase’s 50-year
anniversary. The preamplifier section features our superior Balanced AAVA volume control, while the power
amplifier section includes an instrumentation amp and power transistors in a five-fold push-pull arrangement
driven in Class AB. These circuits create a balanced circuit from input to output. With its precisely balanced circuits and solidly built output stage, the E-5000 integrated amplifier presents every piece of music in exquisite detail.

  • Highly reliable logic-control signal switching relays

  • Ample input connectors (Five line level and two balanced)

  • Line level input and output connectors for a recorder

  • Individual phase setting for each input

  • Stereo signal can be switched to monophonic operation

  • Left / right balance control through Balanced AAVA

  • Volume attenuator that can instantly reduce sound as low as –20 dB

  • Loudness compensator to adjust audible sonic balance

  • Tone controls using summing active filters

  • Power amplification stage employs instrumentation amplifier principle

  • Current feedback amplification circuit topology assures excellent phase characteristics in high range

  • Speaker output protection circuit guards against short-circuiting
