Compact Hi-Fidelity Audio Amplifiers
The AVA2.1 and AVA3.1 mini audio receivers are designed for custom
installation specialists and were designed based on their feedback. In
addition to being highly flexible receivers that can be placed in nearly any
imaginable space, both models include a fully integrated, highly efficient
Class-D amplifier with digital inputs, 110-240V 50/60Hz universal power supply
for installation nearly anywhere on the planet, built-in Bluetooth 5.0, ARC
HDMI, dedicated subwoofer output with gain control, and an IR remote control
and external receiver. The most important feature is the HDMI input allowing
for instant use with any TV through HDMI’s CEC functionality, eliminating the
need to teach IR commands for volume control.
Both the AVA2.1 and AVA3.1 are ultra-compact (1.7” x 5.8” x 10.5”) audio
receivers designed for installation in nearly any space, no matter how compact
