Pioneer A-30 black

The A-30-S amplifier was designed according to audiophile standards. Based on our Direct Energy amplification concept optimizing the transport of the audio signal, the symmetrical construction allows for perfect separation of the two channels to offer a flawless stereophonic image. The power supply circuit has received the same attention. First, the transformer is stabilized within the chassis to avoid any parasitic vibration.

Similarly, the isolated power supply circuit eliminates interference that could reduce signal quality. Finally, the power control relies on a Schottky diode barrier to provide a stable voltage free from any disturbance. For purists, the Direct Source mode also allows bypassing all circuits except the volume to further enhance the musicality of the A-30-S.

The finish is not to be outdone and uses aluminum for the front panel as well as for the knobs, with the volume knob being motorized. Finally, an understated and elegant remote control is included and allows basic control of our music servers as well as our new SACD players.
