Innovative
technology and excellent workmanship
The Master Edition SA 8.3 Lite relies on proven concepts from the Ovation line, combined with the latest technology. The 1000 VA toroidal transformer and two separate power supplies ensure stable and lossless power supply for the output stages and the processor unit. Large energy stores with 136,000 μF capacitors per channel allow impressive pulse peaks of over 450 watts at 8 Ω or 900 watts at 4 Ω. With XLR and cinch inputs, the amplifier offers flexible connection options for various sources.
The high-quality aluminum housing, available in silver or black, optionally with chrome-plated CELLINI front, underlines the timeless elegance of the design. The delivery comes in a sturdy AVM flight case, which additionally emphasizes the quality and longevity of the amplifier. The dimmable, high-contrast display and the included remote control allow for intuitive operation and maximum flexibility.

AVM Ovation SD 8.3 und SA 8.3: Röhrenverstärker mit Streaming-Funktionen
„Mit den 8.2-Versionen der Ovation-Serie war noch nicht das Ende der Fahnenstange erreicht. Die Vor-End-Kombi SD 8.3 und SA 8.3 will mit Röhren-Riege und X-Stream-Modul und Multi-Room-Tauglichkeit noch mehr glühende Verehrer finden. Das dürfte gelingen. Die neue Technologieplattform bietet Features wie Unterstützung für den immer beliebteren Roon Server und beherrscht jetzt auch HiRes-Streaming. Die Nutzer von Online-Streaming-Diensten dürfen sich auf Spotify Connect, Highresaudio, Qobuz und Tidal in hoher Auflösung freuen. Auch Apple AirPlay2 steht zur Verfügung und die mit Sehnsucht erwartete Multiroom-Funktionalität kommt samt Control Over IP und Control-4-Integration an Bord.“

AVM implementiert seine neue X-STREAM Netzwerktechnik
„AVM implementiert seine neue, bahnbrechende X-STREAM Netzwerktechnik in die neue Gerätegeneration. Was dadurch mit absoluten Top-Amps passiert, ist ungeheuer spannend. Und Röhren sind auch noch mit dabei. Die Topologie scheint wie aus dem Bilderbuch des Verstärkerbaus zu stammen, zu dem AVM-Entwicklungschef Mania ja im Grunde schon seit Jahrzehnten selbst fleißig beiträgt. Die schon zu Lebzeiten legendäre und klangprägende AVM-Röhrensektion bildet in der „Über“ Endstufe gewissermaßen die Eingangstür. Dieses klangveredelnde Juwel, das durch ein entsprechendes Fenster im Gehäusedeckel anheimelnd leuchtet, liefert genau das Quäntchen Charisma und Strahlkraft, das die jeweilige Komposition und ein exzellentes Gerät aus Malsch mitunter perfekt machen.“
