THE ART OF LISTENING

Designed for those who appreciate sound as much as style, Quad 3 distills decades of hi-fi expertise into a compact, elegant form. Every element serves both purpose and pleasure, bridging classic audio values with modern expectations—seamlessly, and without compromise. Quad 3 isn’t a throwback; it’s a thoughtful evolution.

OLD SOUL, NEW STANDARD

Quad 3 is a compact integrated amplifier featuring 65W per channel (8Ω) Class AB amplification, a high-performance ESS9038Q2M DAC, MM phono stage, and HDMI ARC. With extensive digital and analogue connectivity, it’s ideal for modern two-channel listeners who demand versatility, clarity, and classic design.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC

Quad 3’s HDMI ARC input creates perfect symmetry between your TV and two-channel stereo system, unlocking richer, more articulate sound from movies, series, music streaming, and games––all with the convenience of single-cable simplicity and volume control via your TV remote.

HEADROOM NOT HEADACHES

A custom-engineered Class AB amplifier—driven by a 235VA toroidal transformer and 30,000uF capacitor bank—forms an architecture built for dynamic headroom and confident drive. Quad 3 delivers remarkable control, so that even at low volumes bass lines stay grounded and transients land with authority.

JUST FOR THE RECORD

Modern vinyl playback is more than mere nostalgia. That’s why Quad 3’s built-in MM phono stage delivers low-noise amplification and accurate RIAA equalisation, revealing the full richness and texture of your records. No additional boxes. No signal degradation. Just analogue music at its finest.

ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK

Quad 3 combines classic industrial lines with an orange-lit LCD display and tactile rotary controls—balancing modern usability with heritage appeal. Its compact form suits contemporary interiors, while its subtle vintage cues make Quad 3 a piece you’ll want on display, not tucked away.

THE TILT THAT BUILT QUAD

No harsh highs, no bloated lows—just tonal balance shaped to your space and taste. Quad 3’s signature Tilt Control adjusts the full frequency range in 1dB steps around a 700Hz axis, while its bass control offers ±3dB adjustment—refining warmth, weight, and clarity without adding colouration.

FOR YOUR EARS ONLY

Sometimes it’s just you, the music, and nothing else. Quad 3’s discrete headphone amp uses current-feedback architecture to maintain speed, accuracy, and control—regardless of headphone type. The result? Late-night sessions that stay detailed and dynamic, while the rest of the house stays asleep.

CLASS A CLARITY

Minute details––like subtle piano decay or brushed cymbal shimmers––are startlingly lifelike thanks to the surgical precision of Quad 3’s ESS9038Q2M DAC. Paired with a Class A post-DAC filter for added signal refinement, Quad 3 draws extraordinary nuance and definition from digital music.

A SOURCE OF ENTERTAINMENT

From turntables to TVs, streamers to CD players—Quad 3 connects it all. Two line-level RCA inputs and a precision MM phono stage cater to analogue purists, while USB, coaxial, optical, Bluetooth 5.1, and HDMI ARC ensure full digital versatility. No compromises. Just connection—between you and your entertainment.
