Like all components from the AVM 30.3 series, the MA 30.3 mono power amplifiers also refer to a legendary predecessor, the M3. The M3 Class A/AB mono power amplifiers of that time are still regarded as one of the sonic highlights in amplifier construction - worldwide. It all began in the mid-eighties with developments that eventually led to the M1 and the founding of AVM in 1986. The M3 then replaced the M1 in the early nineties and was built in various evolutionary stages until 2011. To this day, these excellent sounding power amplifiers are the most frequently built mono power amplifiers from AVM. The MA 30.3 is the 14th generation of the famous AVM power amplifiers - this evolutionary stage incorporates all the experience gained since 1986.

The MA 30.3 also inherits a great sonic heritage. The M3 provided the template for its modern descendant, the MA 30.3. Essential features such as the design of the MOS-FET power amplifiers around the colossal main transformer were retained and supplemented with contemporary features such as intelligent remote switching. Likewise, the circuit design of the MA 30.3 incorporates far-reaching innovations from the award-winning large AVM power amplifiers of the OVATION series. These innovations are made possible by the use of state-of-the-art components such as those found in our flagship power amplifiers, the SA & MA 8.3. All in all, this has resulted in new and ultra-modern mono power amplifiers that play at the very highest level of sound quality.

All functions of the MA 30.3 are automated (protection circuit etc.). In addition, there are extensive setting options with which the switch-on modes can be selected (automatic, trigger, permanent on). With the AIR (AVM Intelligent Remote) function, the power amplifiers can be easily switched on and off from current AVM preamplifiers (e.g. PA 30.3, PA 8.3, etc.) without the need for a separate trigger cable. The required control signal is simply transmitted via the RCA or XLR cable.

The perfectly crafted enclosure made of painted sheet steel provides a stable base to safely support the enormous main transformers and the sensitive electronics. The brushed aluminium front is inspired by the current EVOLUTION series as well as the AVM original monos. Standard cabinet versions are silver and black.

The new AVM 30.3 series will make its debut in autumn 2020. Like all AVM devices, the MA 30.3 has been completely developed in AVM's noble manufacturing facility in Malsch, Germany, in order to transfer the latest circuitry methods of the award-winning components from the OVATION and EVOLUTION series adapted to the AVM 30.3 series. Repeated, intensive quality controls during all manufacturing steps and a break-in period of several days for each individual unit ensure AVM's promise of maximum reliability in the long term.
