AVM AS 30.3 Integrated Amplifier

AVM 30.3: Integrated amplifier with streaming functionality

The AVM 30.3 Neo-Classics continue the tradition of integrated amplifiers by delivering a modern interpretation of the uncompromising sound development of the early 1990s. Based on the AVM X-STREAM Engine®, the new AS 30.3 integrated amplifier incorporates numerous innovations, and the new RC X app fully controls the AS 30.3. Device stacks and cable clutter are a thing of the past, as all modern connections are included, including HDMI ARC for TV connections.

The main focus was on a completely modernized app control system. The RC X app offers a clear interface and easy operation, making managing large music collections child's play and facilitating the discovery of new music on numerous streaming platforms. The AVM RC X app is available for iOS and Android devices.

The new AVM X-STREAM Engine® supports all high-resolution formats, including DSD (256), and can be updated online. In addition to the HDMI (ARC) interface and modern Bluetooth connectivity, additional digital inputs and a USB-A port are available. Particular attention was paid to the phono input stage for MM and MC cartridges to achieve even better sound, especially when used with rotary turntables.

The AS 30.3 also features digital outputs that support volume control, as well as an HDMI ARC input for easy connection and control of TVs.

The AS 30.3 represents a significant technological advance, particularly through the use of a 125 W amplifier stage that effortlessly drives even the most power-hungry speakers at all volume levels. The new amplifier stages are based on the larger CS 8.3 and have been specifically optimized for the compact AS 30.3 cabinet.

The digital section in the AS 30.3 has been completely redesigned and uses a selected new generation ESS (9038 Q 2 M) as a digital/analog converter, enabling perfect and true-to-life reproduction of all high-resolution formats.

The AS 30.3 is available in the standard colors silver or black, optionally also as an elegant CELLINI version with a chrome-plated and hand-polished front. Like all AVM devices, the AS 30.3 is entirely handcrafted at the Malsch factory. Repeated, intensive quality controls throughout the entire production process and a break-in period of several days for each individual device ensure maximum long-term reliability. A two-year warranty is provided, with an additional two years upon online registration.
