Aavik P-188 Power Amplifier
The Aavik P-188 is a 300W per channel power amplifier using Pascal Class D technology with UMAC modulation for low noise and precise speaker control. It features a resonant mode power supply with sine wave operation for clean, high-peak energy. Noise-reduction technologies include Tesla coils, analog dither, and anti-aerial resonance coils. The Aavik P-188 is a premium stereo power amplifier for audiophiles looking for maximum performance.
Unleash True Musical Power
The Aavik P-x88 power amplifiers are crafted to deliver outstanding musicality and control. Based on the flagship P-880, they combine refined design with exceptional performance. The P-x88 range brings out greater clarity, dynamics, and precision across any audio system. Every note feels more natural, every detail more alive. With the P-x88 at the core, your music unfolds with effortless power and breathtaking realism.
The Exceptional Design Born in Two Exceptional Minds
The Aavik P-x88 series is the result of a unique collaboration between two renowned designers. Gryphon Audio’s esteemed founder, Flemming Erik Rasmussen, joined Aavik’s team in 2021, bringing over 35 years of design expertise. Merging his artistic vision with Michael Børresen’s innovative technical approach, they crafted the P-188, P-288, and P-588 amplifiers to not only look stunning but to deliver an exceptional auditory experience.
Advanced Technology for Superior Musical Control
Aavik P-x88 amplifiers are based on the latest version of Pascal class D amplifier technology, which features even faster UMAC switching modulation and generates lesser noise. This circuit now requires lesser filtering and has lower output impedance, which ensures greater control over connected speakers, and consistent performance across the entire musical spectrum.
Resonant Mode Power Supply
Aavik P-x88 amplifiers feature a fast, low-noise switching power supply, optimized for class D amplification. Operating in power-factor-corrected resonant mode, it delivers smooth, clean sine wave power. When extra power is needed, the supply adjusts its frequency to increase power density, ensuring high peak currents without distortion. The result is a very low noise floor, low output impedance, and superior control over connected speakers.
Active square Tesla coils
Impressive noise reduction.
The active square Tesla coils are embedded in our circuitry boards – one coil on the top and the counter coil on the rear side. The principle is exactly the same as the active Tesla coil and thus a great ability to eliminate noise than the passive Tesla coil
Analog dither technology 3rd generation
A 3rd generation of the Ansuz analog dither technology has been developed. Analog dither technology originated in radar, where it ensured a stronger signal and thus greater range. The active Tesla coils send pulsating signals at precisely defined frequencies. These signals are sent in anti-phase. This significantly amplifies the musical signal and eliminates the background noise floor.
Analysis and studies have led to new options – and a lot of listening has resulted in this 3rd generation design which is a further optimization of the most effective frequencies which opens the soundscape even more and with the tiniest details when it comes to reproduction of the recordings.
Anti aerial resonance coil technology
Prevents airborne noise.
All cables and cable screens are acting like antennas for airborne RF noise which of course is a huge problem. The passive cable Tesla coil is wound on the external part of the cable and protects the signal from absorbing the airborne RF noise. This noise is absorbed in the Tesla coil.
As there is a voltage running in the conductor itself, and it is wound in the counter direction – this is used as the counter coil and the RF noise is then eliminated.
