DENON PMA-3000NE

The Denon PMA-3000NE delivers 160W per channel at 4 ohms and 80W per channel at 8 ohms, capable of driving even the most demanding speakers and ensuring superior sound in any scenario. Designed and built at Denon’s facilities in Shirakawa, Japan, this amplifier integrates an advanced push-pull design, sophisticated digital processing, and a robust phono section, allowing for music reproduction with clarity and precision.

The push-pull amplifier delivers 80W per channel at 8 ohms and 160W per channel at 4 ohms, effortlessly accommodating a variety of speaker types and impedances. Digital connections, including optical, coaxial, and USB-B, support up to 384kHz/32-bit resolution. Denon’s Ultra AL32 Processing, which utilizes waveform interpolation, produces smooth, high-resolution sound.

The PMA-3000NE’s phono section is compatible with both MM and MC cartridges, providing extremely faithful sound reproduction regardless of the cartridge type. The UHC-MOS Single Push-Pull circuit and the differential 1-stage amplifier drive demanding speakers with exceptional clarity and linearity.

Denon’s Ultra AL32 Processing uses interpolation algorithms to produce high-resolution output, supporting input signals up to 384kHz/32-bit, and improving sound reproduction with smoother and more precise waveforms. The phono section supports both MM and MC cartridges, ensuring flawless vinyl playback in any setup, thanks to a high-gain design and “simple and straight” circuitry that minimizes distortion, offering pure and detailed sound.

The analog mode bypasses the digital circuitry for pure analog reproduction, while the Source Direct function bypasses tone controls, minimizing the signal path and optimizing clarity.

With over a century of experience in creating high-quality audio products, Denon draws upon its Japanese heritage. Each product is hand-tuned by the sound master, providing an unparalleled listening experience.
