During the manufacturing process, we perform repeatedly numerous tests to ensure the absolute quality of our products. When the assembling is finished and the first inspection is done all units must pass a run in test in order to prove their reliability.

Consistently, only one is being looked at here: Perfect sound. Just as musicians have wished for from their original songs. Achieving this goal is an enormously difficult undertaking that requires a great deal of musical sensitivity, just as it has been at home at AVM since 1986. The goal of our engineering skills is to translate this musicality into devices for playback at home. The PA 8.2 predecessor model has already been awarded many reference titles and prizes worldwide, and serves as a listening instrument for many musicians, as well as a permanent reference for renowned trade journals and specialist editorial offices. The new PA 8.3 will certainly be a match for its predecessor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mono and stereo power amplifiers in the AVM OVATION flagship series have long been ranked among the best power amplifiers in the world. Once again, the demand for a 100% precisely fitting PA 8.3 preamplifier was enormously high, yet simple at the same time: it just had to be perfect. And yet, when realising the third generation of our analogue and modular OVATION flagship preamplifier, we at AVM were not simply concerned with defending our title as one of the world’s best preamplifiers: We have come up with numerous new technologies in recent years and our experienced engineers have used the latest and best components to get even closer to our sonic ideal. The motto: The best is just good enough!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo push it even further, we have set out to build a preamplifier that can grow with the rapidly developing computer hi-fi (as we call it) and the increasing demands on traditional analogue amplifiers in the long term. Thus, the PA 8.3 is based on a completely new, modular design. As with the first generation of the 8-series preamplifier, this modular concept allows the PA 8.3 to be continually expanded and adapted to personal requirements with additional plug-in modules, or to conveniently retrofit the technologically latest modules. The appearance of the PA 8.3 is exactly matched to all power amplifiers of the OVATION flagship series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe modular concept of the OVATION PA 8.3\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PA 8.3 consists of two parts: The basic unit and the modules.

The addition of further modules, an exchange or replugging of modules on the rear of the PA 8.3 is therefore child’s play and can be carried out quickly and easily.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVM","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":40358021365943,"sku":"PA 8.3 - Silver","price":17995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":40358021398711,"sku":"PA 8.3 - Black","price":17995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chrome Front Panel","offer_id":40358021431479,"sku":"PA 8.3 - Chrome","price":19995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1133\/9398\/products\/AVM-PA-8_3-Modular-Preamplifier-australia.jpg?v=1668069491"},{"product_id":"avm-sd-6-3-streaming-preamplifier","title":"AVM - SD 6.3 - Streaming Preamplifier","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOVATION SD 6.3\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe SD 8.3 and SD 6.3 at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOVATION SD Streaming DAC – a completely different animal: The new SD  6.3 and SD 8.3 herald a completely new category of AVM components with streaming capabilities.

Designing the P20 was not a task we took lightly. Many of the ideas and concepts were taken from its bigger brother. Although scaled-down, many of the good characteristics remain - the enormous soundstage, the deep rhythmic bass response, the perfect timing... In short, the sense of being there with the performers.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P20 comes with a high-quality system remote control, milled out of one solid piece of aluminum.

With its patented technology and hand-matched components, the P30 is a confident contender in the race towards being the best pre amplifier in the world. Regardless of price. Despite what many hi-fi enthusiasts believe, pre amplifiers are actually one of the most difficult audio components to develop. At the same time, it is one of the most important components in a well sounding system.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason is that the signal strength is very low when entering the pre amplifier, and is therefore very susceptible to high-frequency noise and distortion elements. The most critical phase in the pre amplifier is the volume regulation, and in the P30 this is a masterpiece in itself. The physical volume control knob is only used to describe the desired volume output level to the array of Gigahertz MOS-transistors. These direct the music signal through a network of high-quality resistors that reduce the signal level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the volume control circuit, the signal is directed through the amplification circuit. For the first time ever we are using the patented SoundEngine technology in the pre amplifier. Combined with Hegel's use of hand-matched FET transistors, this results in unsurpassed levels of musical distortion and noise. In total, the music signal will only pass through 2 transistors and between 1 to 3 resistors on its way through the P30. The sound you hear from the P30 can only be described as organic and very natural. To quote a journalist: \"The Hegel sounds so much more natural than my previous reference. And it does so without flashing itself with gold and diamonds\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hegel P30 has 2 pairs of balanced inputs (XLR) and 3 regular unbalanced (RCA). In addition to this, it has a Home Theatre input that allows you to integrate it into a Home Theatre system. The P30 also has a 3,5 mm IR-direct input and a 12V trigger output connector.
