The PMA-3000NE is an integrated amplifier with MM/MC phono stage from Denon, built with substantial output power and a detailed multi-source signal-to-noise specification. The PMA-3000NE brings Denon's more accomplished current engineering to a complete integrated chassis.

Key specs that matter

Three single-ended inputs plus a dedicated phono input are provided. Input sensitivity is 1,000mV. Output power is 80W into 8 ohms, rising to 160W into 4 ohms. Signal-to-noise ratio is detailed separately per source - 89dB for MM phono, 74dB for MC phono, and a strong 107dB for CD. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is 0.01%. At 434 x 182 x 443mm and 24.6kg, the PMA-3000NE represents a substantial integrated amplifier commitment reflecting Denon's more accomplished current engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect a dependable, accomplished amplification character reflecting the strong 107dB CD signal-to-noise figure, with the built-in MM/MC phono stage covering a wide variety of cartridge types directly.

Pairing

The built-in MM/MC phono stage covers a wide variety of turntable cartridge types directly without needing a separate outboard phono stage.

Alternatives

Denon's own PMA-A110 offers a related commemorative-edition model with similar output power within the same broader catalogue.
