Audio Analogue is showing its new Audio Analogue ABsolute 3.0 integrated amplifier at Audio Video Show Warsaw 2026, joining Planeta Dźwięku as guests at PGE Narodowy, SkyBox 141, from 23 to 25 October. The ABsolute 3.0 expands the brand’s reference ABsolute line with a new, single-purpose take on its flagship design philosophy.
What the Audio Analogue ABsolute 3.0 changes
Unlike the standard ABsolute, which lets listeners switch between pure Class A and Class AB operation, the Audio Analogue ABsolute 3.0 operates exclusively in Class AB, delivering 300W into 8 ohms. Audio Analogue describes it as a deliberate engineering choice: by dedicating the entire power supply and output stage to a single operating mode, the amplifier maximises power delivery and efficiency rather than offering the flexibility of two modes.
It keeps the design philosophy that made the original ABsolute a benchmark for the brand: Airtech’s proprietary SeGeSTA zero-feedback circuit topology, a fully balanced architecture with every stage on its own dedicated circuit board, and a true dual-mono design built entirely from discrete components.
Build and construction
Each channel of the Audio Analogue ABsolute 3.0 uses twelve bipolar output transistors and 89,600 microfarads of filter capacitance, with oversized military-grade resistors fitted to minimise thermal distortion. Internal wiring is 7N OCC solid copper, and the speaker output terminals are gold-plated. A microcontroller-based management system offers four selectable volume curves and three LED brightness levels, controlled via a solid, billet-machined aluminium remote.
The amplifier is available in natural aluminium or satin black finishes, both built around the same heavy, machined-aluminium chassis the ABsolute line is known for.
Audio Analogue says a matching power amplifier, the ABsolute PA 3.0, will follow from September 2026, a 300W Class AB design derived directly from the new integrated amplifier, continuing the same engineering approach across separates.
The Audio Analogue ABsolute 3.0 is one of several new launches bestofhighend.com is covering from this year’s show, alongside Amphion’s new A15 active loudspeaker and AMP300 power amplifier.
Pricing and availability
The Audio Analogue ABsolute 3.0 is now available through authorised Audio Analogue dealers; pricing was not published alongside the announcement and should be confirmed with a local retailer. Visitors to Audio Video Show Warsaw 2026 can hear it at PGE Narodowy, SkyBox 141, with Planeta Dźwięku, 23 to 25 October.
