The A30.1 is an integrated preamplifier and power amplifier with
extraordinary performance for its price.
High-performance power amplifier
The A30.1 incorporates a power amplifier providing 100 Watts per channel
of superb quality sound.
Flexible inputs
The A30.1 provides six inputs for sound sources such as a CD player, radio
tuner, and tape recorders. An optional RIAA amplifier is available if your
system includes an analogue record player.
Fully balanced
Two of the inputs are balanced, giving an entirely balanced signal chain when
used in conjunction with a source that provides balanced outputs, such as the
Primare D30.2 CD Player.
Fixed and variable outputs
The currently selected source is provided on two pairs of line-level outputs, for
connecting the A30.1 to other equipment. The TAPE OUT sockets are
independent of the position of the volume control, and allow you to connect
the A30.1 to a tape recorder. The PRE OUT sockets are controlled by the
volume control, and can be used to connect the A30.1 to another output
stage, or a digital surround processor such as the Primare P30.
Intuitive user interface
In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range of systems, the A30.1 can
be controlled through a very simple and intuitive set of front panel controls.
Alternatively all the functions of the A30.1 can be controlled by the C30
Remote Control, along with the other Primare components in your system.

Although the A30.1 is flexible enough to work with virtually any other
equipment you have in your system, it is ideal for use with the other products in
the Primare range, such as the Primare D30.2 CD Player. A particular benefit
of using the A30.1 with other Primare sources is that you can control your
entire system with a single remote control, to give you a fully integrated system
with the simplest possible user interface.
