Aavik C-880

Aavik C-880 Control Amplifier – Extreme Musical Precision and Dynamics

The Aavik C-880 control amplifier is designed to deliver an unparalleled musical experience, where every detail is highlighted with unprecedented clarity and depth. This preamplifier is designed to reveal even the smallest nuances in music, while offering an impressive soundstage with great dynamics and completely silent background noise. It has undergone extensive testing by Aavik engineers, who have selected each component with the aim of reducing noise and maximizing signal processing, resulting in a musical performance that will take your sound system to a whole new level.

Highlights

• Resonant Mode Power Supply: This technology ensures extremely low noise and massive power that scales with the music's needs for dynamics and peak power.
• Class A Technology: Focuses on low output impedance and minimal inductance to ensure a natural and accurate sound, even at high power.
• Active Tesla Coils: Effectively reduce electromagnetic noise and improve the detail and depth of music.
• Copper cabinet: The use of copper contributes to lower output impedance and better resonance control, resulting in a more precise and powerful sound.
• Analog Dither Technology (3rd generation): This technology improves the signal, reduces noise and provides a more detailed and precise sound.

Extreme Signal Processing and Quiet Operation

The Aavik C-880 is designed with the aim of reducing noise levels to an absolute minimum, allowing you to hear all the fine details in the music that are usually lost in traditional preamplifiers. By separating the power and control sections, you not only get cleaner signals, but also a significant reduction in noise. This separation of the components allows for an extremely low noise floor, while at the same time refining the signal, creating a soundstage with incredible precision and dynamics.

With the Aavik C-880 you get a preamplifier that gives you a musical experience where even the smallest nuances appear clear and distinct. The depth and detail of the sound is superior, and even in the most demanding passages the preamplifier creates a sound image that feels bigger and more alive.

Innovative Design and Optimal Cooling

The design of the Aavik C-880 preamplifier is the result of a carefully balanced combination of aesthetics and functionality. Flemming Erik Rasmussen, who is behind the design of the preamplifier, has created a cabinet that is not only visually appealing, but also optimized to maintain the best sound conditions. The cabinet is constructed from materials such as copper, titanium and laminated material, which together ensure minimal resonance and optimal control of the sound waves. This means that the amplifier is able to deliver a sound that is both powerful and precise, while avoiding the distortions that can occur in cheaper designs.

Additionally, active heat sinks have been implemented on the sides and top of the amplifier, keeping temperatures down during long listening sessions. This design is not only functional, but also an aesthetic choice that supports the amplifier's visual expression while ensuring stable operation in all conditions.

The Aavik C-880 also features a solid copper casing, which not only enhances the preamp's appearance but also its sound quality. The copper plays an important role in reducing output impedance and improving resonance control, resulting in a sound that is both more precise and natural. This construction method also helps keep the amplifier cool, which is important for long-term performance.
