Product Overview & Specifications
The Aavik P-188 is a high-performance stereo power amplifier from Audio Group Denmark, engineered to deliver 2 x 300 Watts into 8 Ohms (2 x 600 Watts into 4 Ohms). Utilizing Pascal Class D amplifier technology with proprietary UMAC™ pulse-width modulation, the P-188 provides ultra-low noise, high dampening factors, and precise loudspeaker control across demanding dynamic transients.
Housed in a low-resonance, non-magnetic composite chassis, the amplifier isolates sensitive audio signals from mechanical vibration and electromagnetic interference. Power is delivered by a sine-wave Resonant Mode Power Supply capable of providing high peak current energy on demand. Supported by Audio Group Denmark’s active noise-reduction suite—comprising 36 active Tesla coils, 115 active square PCB Tesla coils, 4 Anti-Aerial Resonance Coils, and 4 analog dither circuits—the P-188 preserves signal purity and drives distortion down to an astonishing 0.0028% THD+N.
KEY FEATURES & PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES
- Pascal Class D with UMAC™ Modulation: High-efficiency power stage utilizing UMAC™ modulation technology to ensure high switching frequency, low high-frequency noise, and precise speaker drive.
- Formidable Power Output: Delivers 2 x 300 Watts RMS into 8 Ohms and 2 x 600 Watts RMS into 4 Ohms with high peak output reserves.
- Ansuz Active Noise Reduction Architecture: Outfitted with 36 active Tesla coils and 115 active square PCB Tesla coils to actively suppress power supply noise and voltage fluctuation.
- 4 Anti-Aerial Resonance Coils: Specialized Tesla coils designed to counteract airborne radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) inside the chassis.
- 4 Active Analog Dither Circuits: Radar-derived anti-phase dither frequency technology that lowers the noise floor to expose subtle ambient spatial detail.
- Resonant Mode Power Supply: Power-factor-corrected sine-wave power supply providing high current density without introducing square-wave switching noise.
- Low-Resonance Composite Enclosure: Heavyweight non-magnetic cabinet engineered to minimize mechanical vibrations and prevent electrical hysteresis.
