The A&ultima SP3000M, the successor to the renowned A&ultima SP3000, is the new number one in its field worldwide thanks to a unique blend of revolutionary concepts and cutting-edge technological innovations, which until relatively recently have been reserved for desktop sources that are several times more expensive.
The first of these innovations is aimed directly at overcoming the remaining limitations in sound by developing a never-before-seen dual audio circuitry using a HEXA structure with balanced and unbalanced outputs.
Meanwhile, the most advanced version of the sophisticated TERATON ALPHA scheme, already a classic of the renowned Asian firm, maximises sound quality through the combined use of a highly effective noise suppression system, efficient power management and amplifier circuitry with minimal distortion.
Another key technical refinement is the management via the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6125 eight-core processor, which ensures spectacular fluidity and smoothness of operation.
The A&ultima SP3000M, whose body is made entirely of aluminium, is rounded off by a very personal ultra-compact design and a substantially reduced weight compared to its predecessor.
