1 Preface

The Audionet Team congratulates you on your purchase of this unit.

AMP III is Audionet's latest 3-channel power amplifier for all music en­thusiasts who would like to expand their stereo system, they became fond
of, or already existing stereo amplifiers to a full-grown home theater set­up. Providing three power amplifier channels, AMP III is primarily de­signed to drive the Center and Rear speakers making it easy to extend
your stereo setup to a 5-channel home cinema application: AMP III is our
home cinema expansion unit for stereo amplifiers.

AMP III accomplishes the feat to combine outstanding performance and
matchless sound character with utmost compactly dimensions. With these
features, the AMP III is predestined for home theater solutions in particu­lar suitable for your living space and primarily convincing in sound.

AMP III masters all its tasks with dedication and captivates its audience
with an authenticity rarely to be experienced. Its sound is fast, vigorous
and thoroughly honest, but simultaneously full of concinnity, grace and
accuracy. Paired with its contagious delight of performance, an amaz­ingly realistic sound experience arises.

AMP III represents the latest state of Audionet's award-winning amplifier
technology and audiophile passion: Engineered and produced in Bochum,
Germany.

Like in all our mono and stereo power amplifiers, we consequently real­ized Audionet's ultra linear amplifier concept in the AMP III, too. The
circuitry is designed to achieve exemplary low distortion, celerity and
stability. The internal structure of the AMP III was developed in a way
that all three channels work independently as far as possible. Only exclu­sively selected high-grade components are used. Influences harmful to
the sound quality of the amplifier have been completely eliminated, and
an exemplary stability of performance is granted.

AMP III is controlled and monitored by a capable microprocessor. It
provides an easy handling, comforting reliability and even checks the
correct polarization of the mains plug. Of course, the AMP III can be
remotely controlled by the Audionet Link interface.

But before you start listening to your new Audionet AMP III, please read
this manual carefully so you are able to use and enjoy all functions of this
unit without drawback on music quality.
