have selected). The result is that there is neither a loss of transformer output efficiency, nor the 

introduction into the output signal of distortion from parasitic oscillations of the secondary windings. 

 

Large Nickel/FeSi Core Output Transformers. As with our other models, Allnic uses very large output 

transformers (105 mm) with nickel, mixed with FeSi, cores. This provides for higher inductance with 

fewer windings than other designs can provide and results in the great benefit of an extremely wide 

range of output frequencies.  

 

Analogue Power Tube Current Monitors. To provide constant current (bias) monitoring for the power 

tubes, Allnic uses an analogue current meter to provide extremely accurate monitoring of the 211/845 

tube. The meter makes it exceptionally easy to see the status of the tube at any time and to respond 

immediately to any variation in bias by use of the top-mounted bias control screw. The meter offers a 

simple, unambiguous indication of the tube's status compared to conventional LED bias monitors. 

 

 

As are all Allnic Audio products, the A-2500s are fully RoHS (EU Reduction of Hazardous 

Substances regulation) compliant in construction and materials. 

 

WHAT’S IN THE BOX? 

 

Please check that each shipping box contains the following: 

 

 

One (1) Allnic A-2500 monoblock power amplifier. 

NOTE: the A-2500s are mirror imaged.

 

Each amp should be the mirror image of the other, with the rectifier tubes on the right side on 

one and on the left side on the other. 

 

One (1) 15 amp IEC type power cord 

 

One (1) Owner’s Manual is also provided. 
 

 

Note:   

1)

 

The A-2500s ship with the tubes installed.  

2)

 

The A-2500s will work with most 15 amp, IEC type aftermarket power cords. The Allnic ZL-

3000 and ZL-5000 power cables will make an excellent match. Of course, only you can 

determine the power cord that works most synergistically with the A-2500s in your system. 

3)

 

Be sure the A-2500s are labeled for the AC voltage of your location. If they are not, DO NOT 

connect them to your AC outlet. Please contact your Allnic dealer. 

 

We advise that you keep the boxes and other packing materials that your A-2500s came in. It will be 

useful if you sell your A-2500s or in the unlikely event you need to ship it for service. 

 

SAFETY 

 

 

Remove ALL protective cushioning material (cardboard around the tubes) inside the tube 

chimneys before operation. The tube chimneys should contain NOTHING except the tubes
