Description

The Quad 3 Integrated Amplifier brings a stunning blend of timeless QUAD design and cutting edge technology. Delivering an integrated amplifier solution that caters to both traditional analogue enthusiasts and modern digital audiophiles alike.

Quad 3 Integrated Amplifier

Drawing from the legendary QUAD 22 pre amplifier, the Quad 3 Integrated Amplifier elevates the aesthetic to a new level. Which is in line with the latest QUAD 33 and 303 versions. It is in the character of QUAD 3 to continue the tradition and befriend the future at the same time with its stylish, portable size, a hint of old-school glamour.

Thus perfectly fitting the new generation of sound systems, technology, and home décor.

Tilt Control

Similar to its critically lauded companion, the new QUAD 33 – the QUAD 3’s industrial design is a subtle hint to the past. The same signature orange-lit LCD strip as the QUAD 33 is included for easy to understand feedback with settings, parameters, options, and source selections all visually represented.

Users are able to adjust the backlight brightness or even turn it off completely to match their environment or preference. The classic orange highlights recall the look of the iconic QUAD 33. Meanwhile, the tactile row of digital encoders gives users great control over volume, source selection, balance, bass, and the famous QUAD ‘Tilt’ control allowing for adjustment of the audio spectrum without introducing any unwanted colouration.

Connectivity

Upsampling can be applied to the audio from both SPDIF and USB audio sources. The digital audio is upsampled to either 352.8kHz or 384kHz.

235VA Toroidal Transformer

A robust 235VA toroidal transformer feeds the amplifier, supported by a 30,000uF reservoir to ensure dynamic headroom and low distortion. Rated at 65W per channel (8 ohms) and peaking at 100W (4 ohms), the Quad 3 Integrated Amplifier effortlessly drives demanding loudspeakers with control and authority- in proper QUAD form!

Headphone Output

For headphone aficionados, the Quad 3 Integrated Amplifier includes a separate current feedback headphone amp circuit that mirrors the precision of the main amplifier. Expect flawless transient reproduction and distortion-free listening.

The QUAD 22 influences can be seen in the subtle accents of the facia, and neat row of digital encoders. These tactile rotary controllers provide volume control, source selection, bass control, QUAD ‘tilt’ control and balance adjustment. The bass adjust allows +/-3dB adjustment of the low-end frequencies. Adding richness and depth or removing rumble according to your components, system or room..

Full MQA Decoder

The QUAD 3 functions as a full MQA decoder, faithfully recreating the original studio sound with file specific compensation. For further flexibility, five user selectable digital filters give the option to fine-tune the sound to suit different sources. ensuring optimal playback regardless of the format or streaming service.

Despite its modest footprint, the Quad 3 Integrated Amplifier is a compact powerhouse. The Class AB Amplification stage is equipped with a custom engineered power supply.
