Teac Reference 500 Mini Hi-Fi System

Reference 500 by TEAC combines the virtues of separates with the integrated, remote control convenience of modern mini-systems.
The concept is simple: combine the choice of the finest hi-fi separates with the modern convenience of full system integration and a single remote control.
The result is TEAC reference 500, the ultimate mini system component range. All the functions and choice you demand under the control of a single handset. Hi-fi components to answer every music lovers dream and respond to hi-fi purists’ demands.
Stylish gold anodised facias machined from a solid billet of aluminium declare these hi-fi components to be special. Look deeper and you will find advanced electronics honed to satisfy the keenest senses of the most discerning audiophile. Fabulous to behold even better to listen to.
It is no surprise that TEAC reference systems are acclaimed throughout the world by the toughest audio critics. These are the worlds ultimate mini systems.
At the heart of every system, amplifier integrity is critical. The A-H 500 amplifier features separate channel circuits and a fully shielded toroidal transformer: an optimum configuration. Embracing the clarity and precision of digital audio, the CD Direct selector will bypass analogue pre-amplifier stages to enable the shortest and cleanest signal path from CD source to amplifier circuitry.
Audio intelligence for instinctive response to your command means easy operation. Selecting Play on any reference 500 CD player will not only engage Play but also automatically switch the selector position on your amplifier. Similarly traffic information from the RDS tuner can be set to override other sources.
These are true separates with each component possessing its own discreet power supply, and yet whatever selection you make for your ultimate system, all will be controlled by the full system remote control supplied with your amplifier.
Creating or expanding your ultimate system is a decision you can make without compromise.
