Akin to its critically acclaimed sibling, the new QUAD 33 â the QUAD 3âs industrial design is a subtle nod to the past. It features the same signature orange-lit LCD strip as the QUAD 33, for intuitive function feedback with settings, parameters, options and source selections all visually represented. Users can customise the backlight brightnessâor turn it off entirelyâto suit their environment or preference. Classic orange accents echo the aesthetics of the legendary QUAD 33. At the same time, the tactile row of digital encoders provides precise control over volume, source selection, balance, bass, and the renowned QUAD âTiltâ control, allowing for fine-tuning of the audio spectrum without adding artificial colouration.
The QUAD 3 is packed with future-proof connectivity, making it a versatile hub for all the requirements of a contemporary music system.
