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.

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 top precision with high-quality materials. Thanks to its modular design, it is prepared for future technologies and extensions, while its proven reliability guarantees long-term use.

Der AVM PAS 30.3 ist das Ergebnis jahrzehntelanger Erfahrung in der Entwicklung audiophiler Technologien. Seine vollständig symmetrischen Schaltungsdesigns minimieren Störgeräusche und sorgen für ein unvergleichlich sauberes Klangbild. Mit sechs analogen Eingängen, darunter symmetrische XLR-Anschlüsse, und einer umfangreichen Auswahl an digitalen Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten ist der PAS 30.3 für jedes Hi-Fi-System gerüstet.
