AVM 30.3: Integrated amplifier with streaming functionality

The AVM 30.3 Neo classic continues the tradition of AVM's integrated amplifiers, which have been developed without compromising on sound quality since the early 1990s. The new AS 30.3 integrated amplifier is based on the AVM X-STREAM Engine® and incorporates numerous innovations. The new RC X APP controls the AS 30.3 completely, eliminating the need for device towers and overflowing cable clutter. All modern connections are available so that a TV can also be connected via HDMI ARC. The goal with this compact integrated amplifier was to design one of the best sounding amplifiers in its class by miniaturizing proven sound technologies and integrating them into a slim precision housing.
Special attention was paid to a modernized APP control. The RC X app offers a clear overview of all important functions and is available for iOS (Apple) and Android devices. The simple, intuitive operation and beautifully designed user interface make managing even large music collections child's play. This awakens the desire to discover new music on numerous streaming platforms.

The AVM X-STREAM Engine® streams all high-resolution formats, including DSD (256). This completely in-house development from AVM is entirely software-based and can be updated online in a future-proof manner. The AS 30.3 has an HDMI (ARC) interface, modern Bluetooth connection, additional digital inputs and a USB-A interface. Special attention was paid to the phono input stage for MM and MC. This high-precision input stage has been redesigned for the compact AS 30.3, which ensures even better sound, especially in combination with our Rotation turntables.
A significant innovation is the digital outputs, which can also be volume controlled. TV sets can be easily connected and conveniently controlled via the HDMI ARC input. The sound quality of the AS 30.3 has been significantly improved by the use of a 125 W amplifier stage, which can also drive power-hungry speakers with ease. The new amplifier stages are based on the large CS 8.3 and optimized for use in the compact AS 30.3 housing.

The digital section in the AS 30.3 has been completely redeveloped. The digital/analog converter is a selected ESS of the new generation (9038 Q 2 M), which reproduces all high-resolution formats perfectly and faithfully and represents a clear sonic gain for all digital sources.

The AS 30.3 is available in the standard colors silver or black, and on request also as an elegant CELLINI version with a chrome-plated and hand-polished front. Like all AVM devices, the AS 30.3 is manufactured entirely by hand at the factory in Malsch, with the majority of suppliers also coming from the immediate vicinity.

Repeated, intensive quality controls during all production steps and a break-in period of several days for each individual device ensure our promise of maximum reliability in the long term. AVM provides a two-year guarantee on the compact AS 30.3, with an additional two years if you register online.
