Audio Excellence, Redefined
With an advanced push-pull amplifier, sophisticated digital processing, and a robust phono stage, the PMA-3000NE delivers all of your favourite music with clarity and precision.
Faithful to Any Sound Source
Drives Even the Most Demanding Speakers
A push-pull amplifier, delivering 80W/channel into 8 ohms and 160W/channel into 4 ohms, effortlessly accommodates a range of speaker types and impedances.
Seamlessly Integrate High-Resolution Digital Audio
Digital connections, including optical, coaxial, and USB-B, support up to 384kHz/32- bit. Ultra AL32 Processing waveform interpolation produces smooth, high-resolution sound.
Unlock Your Vinyl Collection’s Full Potential
The PMA-3000NE's phono stage supports both MM and MC cartridges, for the most faithful sonic reproduction regardless of cartridge type.
Fidelity, Form, and Function
Advanced Amplifier Design
The PMA-3000NE delivers 80W/channel into 8 ohms and 160W/channel into 4 ohms. Its UHC-MOS single push-pull circuit and differential 2-stage amplifier drive demanding speakers with exceptional clarity and linearity.
Ultra AL32 Processing
Denon's Ultra AL32 Processing uses interpolation algorithms to produce high resolution output. Supporting input signals up to 384kHz/24-bit, it upsamples for smoother waveforms and improved sound reproduction.
High Performance MM/MC Phono Stage
The PMA-3000NE's phono stage supports both MM and MC cartridges for truest vinyl reproduction in any setup. A high-gain design and “simple and straight” circuitry minimise distortion for pure, detailed sound.
Digital Audio Inputs
The PMA-3000NE’s versatile digital connections, including optical, coaxial, and USB Type B, support up to 384kHz/32-bit and 11.2MHz DSD audio.
Pure Analogue Mode
Pure Analogue mode bypasses digital circuitry for a pure, all-analogue sound. A Source Direct function bypasses the tone controls so that the signal path is as short and clean as possible, for enhanced clarity.
