Premium musical quality, design as a true synthesis of elegance and functionality and intuitive handling
are our benchmarks when creating hi-fi components. The perfect finish of the aluminum case expressly
underlines the tonal quality of the built-in electronic circuitry.

The A5.2 is a very versatile integrated amplifier and shares core values with its sister models in the
Evolution Line: 5 line inputs, a front input and 3 slots for the optional plug-in modules connect it to any
source. Poweramps can be connected via RCA Cinch. Active subwoofer may connect to the processor
in/out. Comfortable menu functions allow an individual configuration of the A5.2 according to your
personal likings (input names, sensitivity) etc.). The sophisticated handling concept makes it easy to use.
It’s enormous power enables it to drive all possible speakers in the market with ease. Two pairs of
speakers may be connected individually. This way the A5.2 will provide pure, long lasting joy of listening at
all times.

Like all AVM hi-fi components the A5.2 is carefully developed and assembled by our engineers in Malsch,
Germany. Our vendors for housing and electronic parts reside all near-by. This proximity helps us to easily
ensure and maintain superb quality level of the supplied parts for the AVM hi-fi components made of
these.

During the manufacturing process we perform repeatedly numerous tests to insure the absolute quality of
our products. When the assembling is finished and the first inspection is done all units must pass a run in
test in order to prove their reliability. After that a careful final inspection follows before packing & shipping.
All this ensures creating a perfect product from AVM for our customers.
