The A30.5 is a modular power amplifier designed as the ideal output stage in

a home theatre system.

Modular design

The A30.5 is designed as five independent blocks, each with a separate

transformer and power supply, for the ultimate in stability and channel

separation.

Generous power handling

Each section of the A30.5 delivers 120 Watts into 8

, giving sufficient power

reserves for home cinema or the reproduction of recorded music. An over-

dimensioned heat sink gives excellent thermal dissipation.

Superb quality

The A30.5 delivers its power at an outstanding quality level, making it as

suitable for reproducing high quality recorded music as for home cinema.

Remote power on/off

For convenience the A30.5 can be powered on and off via a remote link

cable, avoiding the need to switch it on or off separately from the preamplifier

in the system.

Although the A30.5 is flexible enough to act as the output stage in virtually

any system, it is ideal for use with other products in the Primare range, such as

the Primare P30 Processor. The A30.5 can be used as a building block in

conjunction with the Primare A30.2 and A30.3 to create modular systems with

any desired number of matched output stages, and one or more A30 Series

amplifiers can be powered on or off remotely from a P30 using the remote link

connections.
