{"product_id":"avm-ovation-sa-8-3-lite-stereo-endstufe-silber","title":"AVM Ovation SA 8.3 LITE Stereo Power Amplifier, Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe AVM Ovation SA 8.3 LITE in silver is a Class A\/B stereo power amplifier with MOSFET technology that delivers 200 watts into 8 ohms and 390 watts into 4 ohms – a high-performance powerhouse that stays remarkably tidy at 43 × 25 × 42 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAVM builds the Ovation power amplifiers by hand in Malsch, and the LITE translates the signature of the large SA 8.3 into a somewhat more compact format. In silver it looks bright and businesslike – a unit that doesn't look out of place next to other silver components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the AVM Ovation SA 8.3 LITE?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause reserves count here: 24 MOSFET transistors per channel deliver currents of up to 60 amperes, the signal path is fully DC-coupled and the input stage works with transistor technology. A 1,000 VA toroidal transformer and two separate power supplies feed the output stages and the processor unit independently, and each channel has 136,000 µF of reservoir capacitance – enough for peaks of over 450 watts into 8 ohms and 900 watts into 4 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA power amplifier offering both XLR and RCA inputs and therefore suiting practically any preamplifier. The chassis is made of high-quality aluminium, the display is dimmable and high-contrast, and a remote control is included. The LITE is delivered in a sturdy AVM flight case – handy for transport and a clear sign of how seriously AVM takes the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the SA 8.3 LITE suited for – and who not?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: for anyone who wants to drive their speakers with plenty of control and who owns or plans a separate preamplifier or streaming preamplifier. It is oversized for small rooms and efficient bookshelf speakers, and if you want an amplifier with input selection and volume control you need an integrated amplifier. At 22 kg and about 43 cm wide, it also wants a solid place to stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SA 8.3 LITE in silver is a power amplifier that doesn't have to show off its strength – it simply has it. If you're building a rack in silver, here is the matching heavyweight. Which preamplifier and speakers suit it, we're happy to discuss with you at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e stereo power amplifier, Class A\/B, MOSFET\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e silver, aluminium chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput power (AVM product description):\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 W into 8 Ω, 390 W into 4 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum output power (data sheet):\u003c\/strong\u003e 225 W into 8 Ω, 350 W into 4 Ω, 500 W into 2 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak power:\u003c\/strong\u003e over 450 W into 8 Ω, over 900 W into 4 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput transistors:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 MOSFETs per channel, current up to 60 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,000 VA toroidal transformer, two separate power supplies, 136,000 µF per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR and RCA (high level)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.35 V (8 Ω), 1.32 V (4 Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 kΩ (RCA), 45 kΩ (XLR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 0.01 % (25 W \/ 4 Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 97 dB(A) (25 W \/ 4 Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 1 Hz to \u0026gt; 100 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamping factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e max. 1000 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation:\u003c\/strong\u003e dimmable display, remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 430 × 250 × 420 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e power amplifier in AVM flight case, remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much power does the AVM Ovation SA 8.3 LITE deliver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to AVM, 200 watts into 8 ohms and 390 watts into 4 ohms, with peaks of over 450 and 900 watts respectively. The data sheet gives maximum output power as 225 watts into 8 ohms, 350 watts into 4 ohms and 500 watts into 2 ohms. Either way, the LITE has reserves for demanding speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich inputs does the SA 8.3 LITE have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne balanced XLR and one unbalanced RCA input for both channels. For long cable runs XLR is recommended because of its better immunity to interference. Input sensitivity is 1.35 volts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow heavy and how big is the power amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt weighs 22 kilograms and measures 430 × 250 × 420 mm (width × height × depth). Allow for a sturdy rack or sideboard with enough load capacity and air all around, and ideally carry it with two people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the SA 8.3 LITE in silver match units from AVM's Evolution and Ovation series?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually yes: the silver aluminium chassis matches the silver finishes of those series. The width of about 43 cm matches the Evolution units; allow for the 25 cm height when planning shelf spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Ovation SA 8.3 LITE at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we've carried AVM at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil for years and know exactly which preamplifier and speakers suit the LITE.
