Audiolab 8300 Series
Audio Visual Revolution Pty Ltd has announced the Australian release of the 8300 Series of components, the latest range of electronics by British consumer electronics brand Audiolab.
While Audiolab’s engineers referenced the blueprint of the 8200 Series, the 8300 Series has been scrutinised to create more efficient components, high definition audio format technology and redefined aesthetics.
8300CD – CD/DAC/Pre-Amplifier
Audiolab 8300CD is more flexible than its predecessor. Now equipped with DSD file playback capability via the USB input, users are able to play back SACD quality DSD files at their full resolution with faultless audio replication.

The DAC used in the 8300CD unit is the ESS9018 8 Channel Chip, the foundation of M-DAC, which in the 8300CD is now enabled to process an astonishing resolution from files up to 32-bit/384kHz in addition to DSD256.
The 8300CD also adds a balanced digital AES/EBU input as well as a full digital pre-amplifier, and a new slot-loading CD drawer, which is part of the design – simplistic and yet completely reliable when compared with inferior tray-style mechanisms.
8300A – Integrated Amplifier
UK amp designer Jan Ertner led the amplifier design of the new 8300A, refining the performance of a Class AB output stage who’s performance is stable into all loads and across a wide range of operating temperatures.
The 8300A offers so much more than its predecessor. The amplifier’s efficiency has been improved, offering an increased 75W RMS of power while the addition of a MC/MM Phono input offers playback for vinyl enthusiasts.
8300MB – Mono Power Amplifier
The 8300MB is the perfect companion to the 8300CD. Using a true balanced geometry, the 8300MB incorporates both a balanced input circuit (via XLR input) all the way through to the balanced power amplifier stage where two identical amplifier modules work in unison to deliver 250 watts RMS.
Designed to drive any loudspeaker with ease, this mono-block amplifier will reproduce your music collection with incomparable clarity and inaudible distortion even when put under pressure. The 8300MB is quite possibly the perfect example of Audiolab’s goal to reproduce music in all its exquisite detail.
