The AVM30 PAS 30.3 is a preamplifier from AVM, built into a manageable chassis with an exceptionally low distortion figure. The AVM30 PAS 30.3 brings AVM's considered engineering to dedicated line-level signal control.
Key specs that matter
Four single-ended inputs are provided, with two single-ended outputs. Gain is 30dBu. Input sensitivity is 275mV, with input impedance at 3,400 ohms. Output impedance is 47 ohms. Frequency response spans a wide 5Hz to 80,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 95dB unweighted, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.005%. At 430 x 115 x 360mm and 6.7kg, the AVM30 PAS 30.3 maintains a manageable preamplifier chassis reflecting AVM's considered German engineering standards.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, transparent signal handling reflecting the exceptionally low 0.005% distortion figure and strong over-95dB signal-to-noise figure, consistent with AVM's broader measurement-focused engineering philosophy.
Pairing
AVM's own power amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings for a coherently voiced, entirely AVM-based system.
Alternatives
AVM's own Evolution PAS 3.3 + 5.3 offers a related model with a built-in phono input within the same broader preamplifier catalogue.
