About the Quad 3 Integrated Amplifier

Inspired by the legendary QUAD 3, the QUAD 22 combines retro charm with modern precision. The recognizable orange color of the 33 series and the minimalist front end give a nod to the past – with all the performance of today.

Simple and intuitive operation

The QUAD 3's operation is as simple as it is refined, faithful to the original design. All functions are logically grouped and electronically controlled, with clear visualization via the backlit LCD screen. The illuminated buttons also provide immediate feedback on the selected settings. Easily adjust the brightness and contrast, or turn the lighting off completely to suit your preference.

Integrated power amplifier with power

With 2 x 65 watts into 8 ohms—or 2 x 100 watts into 4 ohms—the QUAD 3 delivers ample power for demanding speakers. Ideal for both compact and larger living rooms, with a powerful, controlled, and musical sound. And if you want to expand? You can always do that later.

Tilt control for perfect balance

QUAD's classic tilt control is back, and more powerful than ever. Instead of traditional tone controls, the tilt function offers a subtle, musical balance adjustment: more warmth or clarity, without sacrificing the character of the recording. Ideal for tailoring your sound to the room, the recording, or your personal preference.

Subtle control over low tones

The QUAD 3's bass control allows you to make subtle adjustments from -3dB to +3dB. Add extra body to thin recordings or reduce room-induced boominess. This versatile control allows you to perfectly tailor the bass to your environment and source material.

Phono perfection

Vinyl enthusiasts will be delighted with the QUAD 3's high-quality MM phono input. This built-in preamp offers ultra-low noise, precise RIAA correction, and a warm, dynamic sound. An audible improvement over standard phono stages in this price range.

Headphone jack with finesse

Connect your headphones directly to the QUAD 3 and enjoy rich, detailed sound without an external amplifier. The carefully tuned output delivers a clear and powerful signal, suitable for a wide variety of headphones – ideal for private listening.

Bluetooth 5.1 with AptX HD support

Stream high-quality music wirelessly from your phone, tablet, or laptop. The Bluetooth 5.1 module supports AptX and AptX HD for minimal latency and maximum sound quality. Perfect for spontaneous listening with surprisingly good sound.

HDMI ARC for top-quality TV sound

Thanks to the HDMI ARC input, you can easily connect the QUAD 3 to your TV. Enjoy powerful, clear sound for movies, shows, and games, and control the volume with your TV remote. One cable, maximum convenience.

USB audio in detail

Connect a PC or Mac directly via the USB-B input. The internal DAC supports resolutions up to 768 kHz and DSD512 – well above the standard. The result: crystal-clear, smooth playback of your digital music collection, regardless of format.

You can easily connect external sources, such as a CD player, TV box, or streamer, via optical and coaxial SPDIF. The QUAD 3 supports resolutions up to 192 kHz, ensuring clear, dynamic, and true-to-life playback of digital music – without distortion.

High-end DAC: ES9038Q2M on board

The QUAD 3 features a reference-quality 32-bit DAC: the ESS ES9038Q2M. This converter is renowned for its precision, low jitter, and spatial reproduction. Whether you're streaming digitally or listening via an external source, every detail remains audible.

You can effortlessly play studio-quality music via USB: up to 768 kHz PCM and DSD64 to DSD512. This makes the QUAD 3 ready for the most demanding digital files. A must-have for those who leave nothing to chance when it comes to sound quality. View all specifications of the corresponding CD transport Quad 3CDT
