Sublime Power. Rich Musicality.
Balanced Audio Technology’s VK-3500 integrated amplifier offers no-limits musical finesse and exceptional performance in one convenient package. VK-3500 combines a robust Class A/B 150 watt per channel amplifier with BAT’s SuperTube preamplifier section. You get sublime power matched with richly textured musicality from an elegant one-box solution.
Advanced Circuitry
Many integrated amplifiers offer convenience and little else. VK-3500 is different. Its circuitry and build maintain the uncompromising quality found in BAT’s flagship components. The output stage employs a symmetrical bipolar design; the preamplifier section uses the same 6H30 SuperTube Unistage design topology employed in BAT’s flagship tube preamplifiers. And to make sure it looks as good as it sounds, VK-3500 features the gorgeous industrial design first seen in BAT’s flagship REX 3 system.
Built-in MM/MC Phono Preamp
With the included phono module, you’ll obtain superb reproduction of your analog record collection from moving-magnet and low-output moving-coil cartridges.
“The phono stage on the Balanced Audio Technology VK-3500 integrated amplifier has plenty of personality, the kind you want to spend time with and appreciate on a deeper level. This is a very compelling reason to choose the BAT over other full-function integrated amps in its price range.”
