{"product_id":"avm-ovation-sa-6-3-stereo-endstufe-cellini-chrom","title":"AVM Ovation SA 6.3 Stereo Power Amplifier, Cellini Chrome","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe AVM Ovation SA 6.3 is a MOS-FET stereo power amplifier in Class-A\/AB high-current design with 2 × 200 watts at 8 ohms and 2 × 350 watts at 4 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Cellini finish, this powerhouse gets a hand-polished, chrome-plated front. Underneath, everything stays the same: a pure transistor power amplifier in 19-inch format that amplifies the preamplifier's signal and does nothing else to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Ovation SA 6.3?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it has reserves you don't hear all the time, but always notice. 20 high-current MOS-FETs per channel handle up to 180 amps of peak current, fed by a 1000 VA toroidal transformer and three separate power supplies for the output stages, processor and input circuitry. The fully balanced input stages are DC-coupled throughout – with no coupling capacitor in the signal path. The measurements speak for themselves: damping factor above 500, 101 dB(A) signal-to-noise ratio, less than 0.01 percent distortion and a frequency response from under 5 hertz to over 100 kilohertz. In short: this power amplifier doesn't need to get loud to come across as assured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne RCA and one XLR high-level input, used alternatively to each other, two bi-wire-capable speaker terminal pairs, plus a large blue-lit graphic display with peak power display. In the menu you adjust brightness and display mode, select the operating mode and set the speaker impedance; the AIR trigger handles switching on and off within the system. A handheld remote isn't included and isn't provided for. Visually, this version is the jewel of the family: the hand-polished Cellini chrome front, which is best kept away from fingerprints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Ovation SA 6.3 right for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: anyone expecting an all-in-one solution here is mistaken. The SA 6.3 has neither volume control nor source inputs – it absolutely needs a preamplifier in front of it. But it's the right choice if you're building a separate pre-\/power-amp chain, driving demanding speakers, and value a unit that's just as convincing in the rack as at the speaker terminals. At 13 centimetres tall and 21 kilograms, it still stays pleasantly practical for everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cellini chrome front is the only point where the SA 6.3 allows itself any vanity. Sonically, it remains consistently incorruptible: neutral, controlled, with a bass that stands rather than wobbles. Anyone looking for a power amplifier that doesn't push itself into the foreground but simply lets the chain through will find one of the most honest solutions in its class here – in the prettiest packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e MOS-FET stereo power amplifier, Class-A\/AB high-current design, pure transistor circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × 200 W at 8 Ω, 2 × 350 W at 4 Ω (AVM states no 2 Ω value)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 high-current MOS-FETs per channel, up to 180 A peak current\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 1000 VA toroidal transformer, 3 separate power supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput stages:\u003c\/strong\u003e fully balanced, fully DC-coupled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × RCA (stereo pair), 1 × XLR (stereo pair), high level – usable alternatively only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.8 kΩ (RCA) \/ 14 kΩ (XLR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pairs of screw terminals, internally paralleled, bi-wire capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamping factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 5 Hz – \u0026gt; 100 kHz\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 101 dB(A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection circuits:\u003c\/strong\u003e over-temperature and short-circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation:\u003c\/strong\u003e blue-lit graphic display with power and peak display, menu for brightness, display mode, operating mode and speaker impedance, AIR trigger (AVM Intelligent Remote)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrigger:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5 mm switching input for the preamplifier's switching voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote control:\u003c\/strong\u003e none – not included, no volume control on the unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e not provided by AVM (for mono operation: Ovation MA 6.3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply (mains):\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\/230 V, 50\/60 Hz, max. power consumption 1000 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandby:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 0.5 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 430 × 130 × 390 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 years with registration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cellini Chrome (chrome-plated front)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e power amplifier, mains cable, trigger plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a preamplifier for the AVM Ovation SA 6.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, absolutely. The SA 6.3 has no volume control and no source inputs; it only amplifies the signal from a preamplifier. Suitable options include the AVM Ovation PA 8.3 or the SD 8.3. It's connected via RCA or XLR – the two inputs can only be used alternatively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the SA 6.3 and the SA 8.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower and circuit design. For the SA 8.3, AVM states over 2 × 230 watts at 8 ohms, over 2 × 420 watts at 4 ohms and over 2 × 700 watts at 2 ohms, plus a tube input stage with 803-T double triodes, a dual-mono power supply and 24 instead of 20 MOS-FETs per channel. The SA 6.3 weighs 21 instead of 42 kilograms and even measures stricter with a damping factor above 500.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the AVM Ovation SA 6.3 be bridged to mono?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, bridge mode is not provided by AVM and isn't described in the manual. For true mono operation, AVM offers the Ovation MA 6.3 as mono power amplifiers. So at AVM, more power per channel is achieved via separate monoblocks rather than a bridging circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the SA 6.3's two speaker terminal pairs for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bi-wiring. According to the manual, the two pairs are internally paralleled, so you can't switch them on and off separately. Two different pairs of speakers running at the same time always run together and halve the impedance – we'd rather advise you on that beforehand than after the fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Cellini Chrome mean on the SA 6.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCellini Chrome refers to the hand-polished, chrome-plated front panel that AVM offers as an option alongside the aluminium front in black or silver. Technically, the unit is identical to the other finishes: same power, same connections, same weight. The difference is purely visual – and quite striking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Ovation SA 6.3 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we've been putting chains together for decades rather than shifting boxes.
