Three S Integrated Amplifier

With more than two decades of expertise in crafting advanced, high-performance audio equipment, we present the Audia Flight Three S Integrated Amplifier.

A multi-faceted component exceeds even our high standards!

Derived from our Classic and Strumento Series expertise, the Flight Three S is meticulously crafted in Italy, offering Italian elegance and affordability. It features a solid 10mm aluminum front panel, tactile metal controls, and a user-friendly OLED display.

Within the Flight Three S's advanced electronics are key elements that set it apart from other amplifiers in its class.

The Flight Three S features an ALPS Blue potentiometer for precise volume control. It incorporates eight power supplies for amplification up to the driver transistor stage, with 13,200uF total capacitance dedicated to stabilized power supplies. Additionally, four high-current power supplies (72,000µF) are exclusively assigned to the output driver stages.

To enhance performance further, all inputs utilize sealed relays in an inert atmosphere and gold terminations. Following our commitment to superior sound quality, the logic control section has its toroidal transformer and connects to the analog section through photo-couplers.

Powering your speakers are a pair of robust 100 Watt amplifiers, driven by a substantial 576VA toroidal audio transformer. With its dual mono design, Audia Flight’s current feedback circuitry, advanced preamp section, and precise bass control, the Flight Three S delivers an engaging and potent auditory journey, revitalizing your speakers and music with captivating clarity and power.

Control your Flight Three S effortlessly via front panel or remote, managing inputs, volume, and mute with previous level memory.

Choose from four unbalanced analog inputs (including an optional phono input), one balanced analog input, and even an optional USB digital input. The optional USB 24bit 192KHz DAC board delivers exceptional sound from digital files, while the pure analog MM/MC phono board (via analog Input 1) revitalizes your turntable and vinyl collection.

The Flight Three S also features a discrete headphone amplifier, a bypass (“direct”) function via remote control for multi-channel system integration, and a remote trigger input, Monitor input, Record output, and unbalanced Preamplifier output. This flexible design ensures compatibility with various sources and speaker systems, making it a versatile and high-quality integrated amplifier.

NOTE

The USB input has been insulated by an ADuM (from Analog Devices) to prevent any noise from the computer. When the USB is used together with a player application such as FooBar or WinAmp, the user can transfer stream music files to internal converter at 192kHz/24bits maximum frequency/resolution while avoiding undesired PC or MAC audio mixer data processing during the data transfer from hard disk to interface.
