AVM Solid-State-OUT Module for Ovation PA 8.3

The AVM Solid-State-OUT is a retrofit module for the modular AVM Ovation PA preamp that fits the output stage with a balanced, DC-coupled transistor circuit.

This is the neutral, unfussy alternative to the Tube-OUT module: volume control sits ahead of the outputs, and the signal stays fully balanced with no coupling capacitors in the signal path. If you buy the PA 8.3 without an output module from the factory, or want to try out a second, different output character, this is the module to reach for – a direct comparison with the tube module is the best way to find out which character suits your own chain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an output module even mandatory, or does the PA 8.3 play without one?
An output module – solid-state or tube – is the minimum fit-out needed for the preamp to deliver a signal to the power amplifier. Without one of the two modules, the PA 8.3 stays silent.

How does this module differ sonically from the Tube-OUT?
Solid-state delivers a neutral, very controlled output character, while the Tube-OUT brings the typical tube warmth. The best way is to hear both variants directly compared, and let your ear decide instead of a description.

Why buy it from HD Zürisee?
We know both output modules from our own experience and help you find, without detours, the variant that suits your power amplifier and your taste.
