QUAD Electronics

Timeless design. Effortless fidelity.

For nearly eight decades, Quad has embodied the British approach to high fidelity — engineering over embellishment, substance over show. From the pioneering valve designs of the 1950s to the groundbreaking solid-state 33/303 of 1967, Quad has always pursued one goal: musical truth, rendered with grace and control.

Today’s Quad lineup continues that tradition. The reimagined 33/303 pairing and the new Quad 3 integrated amplifier bring classic design and contemporary precision together in perfect balance — elegant to live with, deeply satisfying to hear.

Quad 3 Integrated

The Quad 3 is more than a nod to heritage — it’s a modern all-in-one solution wrapped in classic design cues. It blends Quad’s vintage aesthetic with contemporary flexibility and high-fidelity performance.

QUAD 33 pre-amp

Introduced in 1967 and reimagined for today, the Quad 33 preamplifier remains a study in British refinement. The new edition preserves the distinctive industrial design of the original while introducing modern precision throughout — from its low-noise circuitry and high-quality components to its expanded connectivity and digital control.

The 33 now offers analog and digital inputs, including a high-performance moving-magnet phono stage, optical and coaxial digital inputs, and Bluetooth aptX HD. A redesigned volume control and updated power supply deliver the hallmark Quad clarity and composure with lower noise and greater dynamic range.

QUAD 303 power amp

The Quad 303 power amplifier was a breakthrough in 1967 — one of the first truly high-fidelity solid-state designs. The new 303 carries that legacy forward with modern components, refined circuit topology, and the same effortless musicality that made the original a classic.

Delivering 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, the updated 303 combines wide bandwidth, low distortion, and superb channel separation in a compact chassis that still exudes mid-century charm. Upgraded output devices and a fully regulated power supply ensure stable, silent operation and a sound that’s fluid and open.
