Class A100D3 is an integrated receiver, designed to deliver a very high quality sound to your loudspeakers. Class A100 D3 allows you to select class A operation for optimal sound quality or class AB for high power operation. A sturdy and technically advanced product provides the perfect balance between great performance and long life. This ensures pleasant and untroubled use for many years. These different operation modes can easily be selected on the remote control. Also available is an automatic mode where the amplifier alters between class A and AB by itself, depending on its temperature.

The amplifier is very well equipped for optimum sound quality. All input and loudspeaker terminals are gold-plated high quality items. The powerful toroidal transformer provides a highly efficient current supply. Four output transistors per channel (a total of eight) make sure the amplifier manages to deliver massive amounts of current. The switching between inputs / sources are made by contact relays which provides low distortion and the shortest possible path for the signal. All of the critical parts in Class A-100 D3 are separately shielded to avoid interference and hum. The new design gives the amplifier a modern and aesthetically good look. It is mostly made from aluminium that leads to a more solid cabinet and a high quality impression. Interference is effectively shielded and the aluminium contributes to the heat dissipation. The volume control maintains a perfect balance between the channels, whatever level you level.

The volume knob is made from lathed aluminium. The switch and the remote control are also made from aluminium. The Class A100 D3 also includes a RIAA amplifier Phono Stage. It can be set for MM or MC pickups. Class A100 D3 has the possibility of powering other amplifiers, due to the volume controlled pre out, which can be used for bi-amping. The Class A100 D3 has two separate SUB-outputs to connect to active subwoofers.
