AVM PAS 30.3
Sophisticated design meets cutting-edge technology
The PAS 30.3 preamplifier impresses with its timeless, minimalist design and a solid aluminum case. But behind the elegant facade is the latest technology: completely symmetrical signal paths and a thoughtful circuit guarantee maximum sound fidelity and an impressive dynamic range.
Exceptional sound quality for every detail
With an amplifier power that reduces distortion to an absolute minimum (<0.0005% THD), the PAS 30.3 ensures exceptionally clear and detailed sound reproduction. Whether you’re enjoying high-resolution music or classic vinyl records, this preamplifier brings out the best from every source. The PAS 30.3 is handmade in Germany and combines the highest precision with high-quality materials.
The AVM PAS 30.3 is the result of decades of experience in the development of audiophile technologies. Its fully balanced circuit design minimizes noise and ensures an incomparably clean sound image.
With its numerous connection options – including HDMI ARC, analog inputs, coaxial as well as optical digital input, phono MM/MC input and the typical AVM streaming functions (Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect MAX, QOBUZ, HighResAudio, ROOn Ready, web radio,…) the PAS 30.3 offers enough connection options for all eventualities in the home pre/power amplifier combination.
