AVM MA 30.3 Mono Power Amplifiers (Pair)

Born from a legendary lineage that began in 1986, the AVM MA 30.3 MK 2 Mono Power Amplifiers are the modern evolution of a true audio icon. For decades, AVM's M3 mono amplifiers were considered a worldwide benchmark in sonic excellence. The MA 30.3 is the 14th generation of this celebrated design, inheriting the musical soul of its predecessor while incorporating the cutting-edge circuit innovations from AVM’s flagship OVATION series. The result is a pair of mono amplifiers that deliver the purity, power, and absolute channel separation that only a true dual-mono design can achieve. They offer breathtaking control and a vast, stable soundstage, all within a classic, handmade AVM chassis.

Key Features

• True Monoblock Design: A pair of individual mono amplifiers for the ultimate in channel separation, stereo imaging, and crosstalk elimination.
• Powerful Class A/AB Output: Delivers a potent 300 Watts into 4 Ohms, providing immense power reserves to drive any loudspeaker with ease.
• Massive Power Supply: A stabilized power supply built around a colossal 550 VA toroidal power transformer ensures effortless dynamics and deep, controlled bass.
• High-Capacity Filtering: Over 40,000 µF of filter capacitance provides instantaneous current delivery for stunning transient response.
• Separate Power for Input/Output Stages: Two separate power supplies for the front end and power amplifier sections ensure the delicate input signal is never compromised by the high-current output stage.
• Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs: Features both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs for universal compatibility with any preamplifier.
• Intelligent Power-On Modes: Offers multiple switch-on modes, including manual, trigger-controlled, and a signal-sensing automatic mode.
• AVM Intelligent Remote (AIR): Allows the amplifiers to be switched on and off by a connected AVM preamplifier via the audio cable, no separate trigger cable needed.
• Comprehensive Protection: Sophisticated protection circuits guard against DC voltage, overheating, and short circuits without interfering with the signal path.
• Bi-Wiring Speaker Terminals: Equipped with two pairs of speaker outputs per amplifier to easily facilitate bi-wiring.
• Premium German Build: Meticulously handmade in Germany, housed in a painted steel chassis with a classic brushed aluminum front panel.

The Purity of the Mono Design

The ultimate goal of high-end audio is to create a believable, three-dimensional soundstage. The MA 3.03 achieves this through the uncompromising purity of its monoblock design. By housing the left and right channels in completely separate chassis with their own power supplies, all possibility of inter-channel crosstalk is eliminated. This perfect separation results in a soundstage of breathtaking width, depth, and stability. Instruments and vocalists hang in space with pinpoint accuracy, allowing you to hear into the recording with a clarity that integrated and stereo amplifiers simply cannot match.

The Heart of a Powerhouse

At the core of each MA 30.3 is a power supply built to deliver effortless, unrestrained power. A massive 550 VA toroidal transformer provides the raw energy, which is then smoothed by a vast bank of capacitors totaling over 40,000 µF. This immense reserve ensures that the amplifier can deliver instantaneous current to the speaker drivers, perfectly reproducing the most demanding dynamic swings in your music. From the explosive impact of a kick drum to the full swell of a symphony orchestra, the MA 30.3 remains utterly composed, delivering music with a sense of limitless headroom and authority.

A Legendary Heritage, Reimagined

The MA 30.3 proudly carries the torch of its famous ancestor, the AVM M3. The fundamental circuit topology, including the beloved MOS-FET output stages, has been retained to preserve the rich, musical character that made the originals legendary. This proven design has been enhanced with cutting-edge innovations from AVM's flagship OVATION series, made possible by the use of the most modern, high-grade components. The result is a perfect fusion of classic AVM sound—warm, powerful, and engaging—with the transparency, speed, and precision of a thoroughly modern amplifier.

Intelligent, Seamless Integration

While the MA 30.3 is a pure performance machine, it is also designed for modern convenience and seamless system integration. You can choose how you want to power them on: manually, via a traditional 12V trigger signal, or automatically when they detect an incoming music signal. For those with a complete AVM system, the ingenious AIR (AVM Intelligent Remote) function allows a connected AVM preamplifier to switch the power amps on and off directly through the RCA or XLR cables, eliminating the need for a separate trigger wire and creating a truly elegant, unified system.
