The PA 3100 HV is a high-performance integrated amplifier combining refined sound quality with robust power output. Featuring dual front-panel VU meters, it accurately displays output wattage per channel into 4 Ohms. Its advanced differential cascode amplifier circuit uses carefully selected audio J-FET transistors, ensuring minimal distortion and superior signal purity without the need for negative feedback. The redesigned analog power supply can be supplemented by the PS 3000 HV power unit, delivering an additional 1800 watts for enhanced stability and dynamic control. This amplifier supports optional high-end phono pre-amplifiers for MM or MC cartridges and includes an infrared remote control for convenient operation. Its discrete volume control and gold-contact relays provide precise channel matching and silent performance.
