Fully balanced, super efficient

The TOPPING PA3s is a fully balanced Class D power amplifier--an affordable and efficient option for powering your bookshelf or floor stand speakers. As a balanced amplifier, it powers each incoming channel with a separate amplifier chip. As a Class D amp, it uses far less power than Class A amps, making it super efficient.

Fully balanced Class D amplification

In the PA3s, each channel is separately amplified by its own Class D power amplifier chip. By separating the channels, the PA3s achieves greatly reduced crosstalk and better audio performance. Each chip has its own heat dissipation, which extends the lifespan of the amp.

80W x2 of power

Drive any bookshelf or floor stand speakers with 80Wx2 of power at 4Ω load.

Balanced + single-ended inputs

Connect multiple sources via TRS balanced and single-ended RCA inputs. The balanced input option eliminates potential ground loop problems, providing pristine audio without hum. Either input is selectable using the front panel button, and the PA3s will remember the last input selected when you turn it on.
