Overview Quad 3 Integrated Amplifier Quad 3 Integrated Amplifier Arcam ST5 Streamer Arcam ST5 Streamer
Summary

Drawing inspiration from the classic QUAD 22 and 33 preamps, the new QUAD 3 integrated amplifier seamlessly blends QUAD's signature design with modern technology.

QUAD honoured its rich history by releasing a contemporary version of its renowned 33/303 two-box pre/power amplifier, a revolutionary design from the 1960s. Since its launch, the new-edition 33/33 has seen extraordinary demand, captivating music enthusiasts in the UK and worldwide. This re-imagined classic pre/power amp has quickly become a bestseller once again.

To build on this success, Quad are introducing the QUAD 3, an integrated amplifier that sports a similarly classic look. Unlike the 33/303 project, which focused on updating a classic while keeping its core elements, the QUAD 3 is an all-new design, though it still has that familiar aesthetic.

Key Features:

  • Integrated stereo amp for high-performance, multi-source audio systems
  • Inspired by classic 20th century QUAD design, elevated by new technology
  • Signature QUAD features include Tilt tone control
  • Digital inputs include USB, HDMI ARC and Bluetooth

  • Class AB power amp stage with Complimentary Feedback design
  • Delivers 65W per channel into 8 ohms
  • High-quality phono stage and headphone amp
  • Compact 30cm-wide footprint

The ARCAM ST5 is the high resolution upgrade for Arcams Radia integrated amplifiers. The slim form factor includes a control link to these amplifiers, allowing the 2 components to act as one from your device. 

Key Features:

  • Perfect match to ARCAM A5 and A15 - with comms link for 2 components to work together
  • Works with Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect - for direct connection from your preferred music service
