{"product_id":"audia-flight-three-s-integrated-amplifier","title":"Audia Flight Three S Integrated Amplifier","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Audia Flight Three S is a 100-watt dual-mono integrated amplifier built around current feedback circuitry, a topology that delivers the bandwidth and transient speed of solid-state with the tonal richness and ease typically associated with tube amplification. Powered by two 576VA toroidal transformers in a fully dual-mono layout, with 85,200µF of total capacitance across twelve dedicated power supplies, the Three S provides a level of authority and composure that belies its mid-range price point. Designed and handcrafted in Civitavecchia, Italy, every unit reflects Audia Flight's commitment to precision engineering and meticulous build quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features of the Audia Flight Three S\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Feedback Amplification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wider bandwidth, faster transient response, and lower distortion compared to traditional voltage feedback topologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue Dual Mono Architecture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully independent left and right channel paths from power supply through output stages for maximum channel separation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual 576VA Toroidal Transformers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom-wound, dual-mono low-noise power supply feeding 85,200µF of total capacitance across twelve dedicated supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100W into 8 Ohms \/ 160W into 4 Ohms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stable current delivery into demanding loads with a slew rate exceeding 80V\/µs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModular Expansion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optional MM\/MC phono board and USB DAC board (24-bit\/192kHz) can be factory-installed or retrofitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated Headphone Amplifier:\u003c\/strong\u003e A discrete, high-performance headphone amplifier capable of driving a wide range of headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHome Theater Bypass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Any input can be configured for direct\/bypass mode, for smooth integration into a surround system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOLED Display with Input Naming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large blue OLED shows selected input, volume, and mode, with user-configurable input labels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eALPS Blue Potentiometer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision volume control with smooth, consistent tracking at all levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItalian Design and Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10mm machined aluminum front panel, sealed gold-terminated relays, positive-action metal controls, and solid aluminum remote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eCurrent Feedback Amplification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost amplifiers use voltage feedback, which feeds back a fraction of the output voltage to correct the signal. Current feedback takes a fundamentally different approach, sensing current at the output and using it to maintain signal accuracy. The practical result is significantly wider bandwidth (the Three S measures 1Hz to 450kHz at -3dB), faster slew rates, and inherently better load stability. For the listener, this translates to a presentation that combines the grip and speed of solid-state with a tonal warmth and texture that voltage feedback designs typically lack. Current feedback is one of the reasons the Three S sounds as composed with a complex orchestral passage as it does with a solo vocal. It also contributes to the amplifier's excellent load stability, maintaining its sonic character regardless of the speaker's impedance curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eDual Mono Power Supply Architecture\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the Three S, the left and right channels operate as completely independent amplifiers sharing only the chassis and front panel controls. Each channel is powered by its own 576VA toroidal transformer in a fully dual-mono layout, with twelve dedicated power supplies in total. Four high-current supplies provide 72,000µF of capacitance to the output stages, while eight additional stabilized supplies (13,200µF) serve the amplification stages up to the driver transistors. A separate, isolated transformer handles the logic and display circuitry, ensuring that digital noise from the microprocessor never reaches the audio signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/Audiaflightthreesintegratedinternals1.jpg?v=1712932902\" alt=\"Audia Flight Three S internal layout showing dual mono power supplies and 576VA toroidal transformer\" style=\"display: block; margin: 1rem auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eConnectivity and Inputs\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Three S provides a comprehensive set of connections for both analog and digital sources. Four unbalanced (RCA) inputs and one fully balanced (XLR) input handle most source components, while a dedicated monitor input accommodates tape decks or recording devices. A separate record output allows signal pass-through to a recorder without affecting the listening output. The preamp output allows the internal amplifiers to be disabled and driven from an external power amplifier, and any single input can be configured as a home theater bypass, passing signal directly to the power amplifier stage without volume attenuation. A headphone output on the front panel provides a high-quality listening option for late-night sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/Audiaflightthreesintegratedback.jpg?v=1712932906\" alt=\"Audia Flight Three S rear panel showing balanced and unbalanced inputs\" style=\"display: block; margin: 1rem auto; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eOptional Phono and DAC Boards\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo optional expansion boards allow the Three S to serve as a complete system hub without external components.

Positive-action metal pushbuttons provide tactile feedback for input selection and mode changes, while the large ALPS Blue potentiometer delivers precise volume control with consistent tracking from whisper-quiet to full output. Input switching uses sealed, gold-terminated relays to minimize contact resistance and maintain signal purity over years of use. The large blue OLED display shows the selected input, volume level, and operating mode, and each input can be renamed to match the connected source. The included remote control is machined from solid aluminum, matching the quality of the main unit. Available in silver and black finishes, the Three S fits comfortably alongside components from any era or aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eExplore the Audia Flight FL Series\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Three S pairs naturally with other components from Audia Flight's FL range.
