Description

Replacement of the renowned A&ultima SP3000, the A&ultima SP3000M, is the new number one in its specialty worldwide thanks to a unique mix of revolutionary concepts and cutting-edge technological innovations, which allows obtaining results until relatively recently reserved for desktop sources several times more expensive. The first of these innovations aims directly at overcoming the limitations that still exist in sound, through the development of a double audio circuitry never addressed by anyone until now, which uses a HEXA structure with balanced and unbalanced outputs. For its part, the most advanced version of the sophisticated TERATON ALPHA scheme, already a classic of the renowned Asian firm, maximizes sound quality through the combined use of a highly effective noise suppression system, efficient power management and amplification circuitry with minimal distortion. Another fundamental technical refinement is the management via Qualcomm Snapdragon 6125 eight-core processor, which guarantees spectacular fluidity and finesse of operation. The A&ultima SP3000M, whose body is entirely built in aluminum, is completed with a very personal ultra-compact design and a substantially reduced weight compared to that of its predecessor.
