Technology that does not need to hide, in a chassis that does not hide either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the MA 8.3S Cellini?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is the top of the Ovation S power amplifiers in the most prestigious finish. At the input works an anode-follower tube stage with a dual differential input stage, and the entire signal path is DC-coupled and cleaned up by automatic offset compensation. The output stage uses 48 high-power MOSFETs, fed by two 1000 VA toroidal transformers and 544,000 µF of filter capacitance. AVM builds the whole thing by hand in Malsch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 600 watts into 8 ohms, over 1100 watts into 4 ohms and over 1800 watts into 2 ohms per block, plus a damping factor above 400. Connection is via XLR or RCA, switching via trigger (5–20 V DC) or AIR Trigger with an AVM preamplifier. A dimmable OLED display shows the status, and delivery is in a flight case. Volume control and source selection are not built in – without a preamplifier it stays silent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MA 8.3S Cellini for – and who is it not for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor customers who want the largest Ovation S power amplifier and deliberately use the chrome front as a design element in the room. Plainly put: chrome fronts show every fingerprint, and 42 kilograms per block need a secure place to stand. If you prefer something more discreet, take the same device in black or silver – technically it is the same machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MA 8.3S Cellini is the showpiece among the AVM monoblocks: the same technology, but with the presence that deserves to be seen in a large system. Which preamplifier and which speakers suit it is something we are glad to discuss with you at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil – call us, write to us or use WhatsApp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: mono power amplifier (monoblock), 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\u003eSales unit: pair (two monoblocks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower per monoblock: over 600 W \/ 8 Ω · over 1100 W \/ 4 Ω · over 1800 W \/ 2 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain: 30 (29.5 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 1 × XLR (40 kΩ) · 1 × RCA (20 kΩ); sensitivity 2.1 V for 1000 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: 48 MOSFETs, current-source stabilised, fully DC-coupled with automatic offset compensation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: 2 toroidal transformers of 1000 VA each · 544,000 µF filter capacitance\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 per monoblock (84 kg per pair)\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: 2 × Ovation MA 8.3S Cellini (pair), delivered in an AVM flight case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Cellini mean for the MA 8.3S?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt AVM, Cellini denotes the finish with a chrome front. The technology matches the versions in black and silver: the same tube stage, the same power. The extra cost pays off purely in appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the MA 8.3S Cellini available singly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot from us: a mono power amplifier amplifies only one channel, which is why we sell it as a pair. The price on this page covers both monoblocks together, which together weigh 84 kilograms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat connections does the MA 8.3S have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer monoblock one XLR and one RCA input, plus speaker terminals, a trigger input with 5 to 20 volts DC and the mains connection. Input sensitivity is 2.1 volts for 1000 watts into 4 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the MA 8.3S Cellini need a special setup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it needs space and load-bearing capacity: 432 × 253 × 420 mm and 42 kilograms per block. Plus separate circuits, because each block may draw up to 3500 watts. We are happy to discuss this in advance, ideally with a photo of your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Ovation MA 8.3S Cellini at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we have been putting together systems for decades in which power amplifiers of this class really arrive – with the right preamplifier, the right place and clean cabling.
