Elegant design meets
state-of-the-art technology

The PAS 30.3 preamplifier impresses with its timeless, minimalist design and a solid aluminum housing. Behind this elegant facade lies state-of-the-art technology: fully symmetrical signal paths and a sophisticated circuit design guarantee maximum sound fidelity and an impressive dynamic range.

With amplifier power that reduces distortion to an absolute minimum (<0.0005% THD), the PAS 30.3 delivers exceptionally clear and detailed sound reproduction. Whether you enjoy high-resolution music or classic vinyl records, this preamplifier brings out the best in every source.

The PAS 30.3 is handcrafted in Germany and combines the highest precision with high-quality materials.

The AVM PAS 30.3 is the result of decades of experience in developing audiophile technologies. Its fully symmetrical circuit design minimizes noise and ensures an incomparably clean sound.

With its numerous connection options – including HDMI ARC, analog inputs, coaxial and optical digital inputs, phono MM/MC input and the AVM-typical streaming functions (Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect MAX, QOBUZ, HighResAudio, ROOn Ready, Webradio,…) – the PAS 30.3 offers enough connection options for all eventualities in the home pre-power amplifier combination.
