If you want to show your technology rather than hide it in the rack, you are in the right place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the SA 8.3S Cellini?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cellini version changes only the dress, not the core: anode-follower tube stage at the input, dual differential input stage, a fully DC-coupled signal path with automatic offset compensation. The output stage has 24 MOSFETs per channel, supplied by two toroidal transformers of 1000 VA each and 270,000 µF per channel. AVM builds them by hand in Malsch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer channel over 230 watts into 8 ohms, over 420 watts into 4 ohms and over 700 watts into 2 ohms. Inputs in XLR and RCA, a trigger input and AIR Trigger for joint control with an AVM preamplifier, delivered in a flight case. Among the things it does not have is volume control – the preamplifier provides that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the SA 8.3S Cellini for – and who is it not for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyone who wants to place their power amplifier as a visible statement in the room. Plainly put: chrome loves a microfibre cloth, and 42 kilograms love a sturdy rack. If you prefer to stay visually restrained, you get identical electronics in black or silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SA 8.3S Cellini is the stereo power amplifier you see before you hear it – and hear that you should not hide it behind a door. What matters when combining it with a preamplifier and speakers is something we are glad to clarify with you at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil – by phone, message or WhatsApp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: stereo power amplifier, Class A\/AB, tube input stage (anode follower), MOSFET output stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: AVM Ovation S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower per channel: over 230 W \/ 8 Ω · over 420 W \/ 4 Ω · over 700 W \/ 2 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain: 30 (29.5 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: XLR (40 kΩ) and RCA (20 kΩ); sensitivity 1.25 V for 350 W into 4 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput stage: dual differential input stage, tube stage as anode follower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput stage: 24 MOSFETs per channel, current-source stabilised, fully DC-coupled with automatic offset compensation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: 2 toroidal transformers of 1000 VA each (one per channel) · 270,000 µF filter capacitance per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion (25 W \/ 4 Ω): below 0.02 % · intermodulation below 0.01 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio (25 W \/ 4 Ω): over 94 dB(A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: below 1 Hz to over 100 kHz (−3 dB) · power bandwidth 5 Hz to over 50 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRise time: 10 µs (4 Ω) · slew rate over 15 V\/µs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamping factor (8 Ω): over 400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume control: not available – preamplifier required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl: trigger input 5–20 V DC · AIR Trigger (AVM Intelligent Remote) · dimmable OLED graphic display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMains voltage: 230 V \/ 50 Hz · max. 3500 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 120 W without signal · standby below 0.5 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 432 × 253 × 420 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 42 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: aluminium with chrome front (Cellini)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturing: handmade, AVM Malsch (Germany)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 2 years, 4 years with online registration at AVM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Ovation SA 8.3S Cellini stereo power amplifier, delivered in an AVM flight case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Cellini version of the SA 8.3S?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCellini is the version with a chrome front. Technically it matches the versions in black and silver: the same tube stage, the same performance data, the same chassis. The difference is the look – and the price, which is higher for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the SA 8.3S Cellini have speaker terminals for bi-wiring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAVM states nothing about this in the data sheet, so we make no promises here. If bi-wiring matters to you, we will ask the manufacturer before you order. Just tell us which speakers you use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect the SA 8.3S to an AVM preamplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, via XLR or RCA. With an AVM preamplifier such as the PAS 8.3S, the power amplifier can additionally be switched on and off together via the AIR Trigger. A trigger input with 5 to 20 volts DC is also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow heavy is the SA 8.3S Cellini?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt weighs 42 kilograms at 432 × 253 × 420 mm. We recommend a sturdy rack or a floor with sufficient load capacity, and transport by two people.
