The amplification stages in the Riviera Audio Labs APL1 operate in pure class A. Riviera Audio Labs APL1 uses a more powerful power transformer and a capacitor block of the power supply filter. The preamplifier also uses an input transformer circuit for both types of inputs.

The switching capabilities of the Riviera Audio Labs APL1 include two pairs of unbalanced RCA outputs and one balanced XLR output, which can be used simultaneously and with the same gain. The input selector is based on electromagnetic relays.

Riviera Audio Labs equips the APL1 preamplifier with tubes from Slovakian company JJ Electronic, which provide durability and stable characteristics.
