Know before you buy
Yes, the A 3000 HV is bridgeable and can be configured for mono operation. This setup significantly increases current delivery and doubles the pure Class-A performance for more demanding loudspeaker setups.
The HV (High Voltage) technology operates the amplifier stages at significantly higher voltages than standard designs. This approach ensures exceptionally low distortion levels and maintains high linearity, resulting in a more refined and accurate sound profile.
The amplifier features a sophisticated design with separate, shielded compartments for the voltage and current amplification circuitry. This physical isolation prevents electromagnetic interference, ensuring that the signal remains clean and stable.
While it is engineered as the ideal partner for the T+A P 3000 HV pre-amplifier, it is compatible with any high-quality pre-amplifier that provides an RCA output. You can integrate it into various high-end systems as long as the pre-amplifier signal is clean and well-matched.
Yes, the amplifier is built with a robust power supply and a massive 120,000 μF reservoir capacity, allowing it to handle demanding loads with ease. It remains stable even when driving speakers that dip into lower impedance ranges.
The A 3000 HV is a substantial piece of equipment weighing 38 kg (83.78 lbs) and measuring 46 cm in depth. You will need a sturdy, well-ventilated rack or shelf that can support its weight and accommodate its significant footprint.
