AVM - PA 30.3 - MM & MC Preamplifier + DAC
The PA 30.3 has no equal as the hub of an affordable high-performance, full-function system of separates. Not just a linestage, the PA 30.3 also includes a superb phono preamp usable with either MC or MM cartridges, a DAC, and Bluetooth. A full range of both balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs, and an added subwoofer output, guarantee usability in any system.
User-controlled settings include tone controls, input sensitivity, home theater loop, and more---all adjustable with the included all-metal RC 3 remote control, with all settings displayed on the large white OLED display. Classic AVM styling is highlighted by the brushed aluminum front panel, in either silver or black. Paired with the MA 30.3 monoblock amplifiers, the combo will provide years of listening enjoyment with the spacious, engaging sound for which AVM is known.
“The successor of the anniversary preamplifier V30 has more in common with the EVOLUTION PA 3.2 than with the latter. However, it has inherited a set of brilliant features such as a phono input, a DAC and Bluetooth 4.2. A gigantic feature set plus excellent AVM sound on top!” ~ STEREO, Germany
All functions of the PA 30.3 can be operated easily and intuitively – at the same time, extensive setting options are available (input sensitivity, tone control, home theater loops, etc.). The perfectly processed housing made of painted sheet steel provides the stable base to safely carry the sensitive amplifier electronics and to protect the sensitive phono stage from unwanted microphonic interferences. The design of the brushed aluminum front borrows from the current devices of the EVOLUTION series as well as from its predecessor the V2. Standard housing versions are silver and black. The massive and elegant RC 3 aluminum remote control is included in the scope of delivery.
