Description

The Audiolab 8300A integrated amplifier is an industry-leader. With only three controls on the front for input selection, mode of operation and volume, the centre of the front panel is dominated by a smart looking oval OLED display panel which tells the user what is selected and the various settings.

On the 8300A, engineers developed a phono stage catering for the resurgence in vinyl records with MM and MC configurations accessible via the front panel controls. As well as standard RCA unbalanced connections, the amplifier also has a set of balanced XLRs. A 12V remote trigger loop features on all 8300 units, so as one device is switched on the paired units are switched into or out of standby mode – working as one system for quick operation.

One unit (black) in stock, open box.
