Description

Performance Refined. Legacy Reimagined

At Aavik, we value our heritage—but we believe the best is yet to come. Building on the success of the I-880, we distilled its finest qualities into a more compact design. The result: the I-x88 series, which exceeded our expectations in both form and performance. Sleek, powerful, and refined, the I-x88 amplifiers embody everything we stand for—and where we’re headed.



The Exceptional Design Born in Two Exceptional Minds

The Aavik P-x88 series is the result of a unique collaboration between two renowned designers. Gryphon Audio’s esteemed founder, Flemming Erik Rasmussen, joined Aavik’s team in 2021, bringing over 35 years of design expertise. Merging his artistic vision with Michael Børresen’s innovative technical approach, they crafted the P-188, P-288, and P-588 amplifiers to not only look stunning but to deliver an exceptional auditory experience.



Advanced Technology for Superior Musical Control

Aavik P-x88 amplifiers are based on the latest version of Pascal class D amplifier technology, which features even faster UMAC switching modulation and generates less noise. This circuit now requires less filtering and has lower output impedance, which ensures greater control over connected speakers and consistent performance across the entire musical spectrum.



Resonant Mode Power Supply

Aavik P-x88 amplifiers feature a fast, low-noise switching power supply, optimised for class D amplification. Operating in power-factor-corrected resonant mode, it delivers smooth, clean sine wave power. When extra power is needed, the supply adjusts its frequency to increase power density, ensuring high peak currents without distortion. The result is a very low noise floor, low output impedance, and superior control over connected speakers.



Active square Tesla coils

Impressive noise reduction.
The active square Tesla coils are embedded in our circuit boards – one coil on top and the counter coil on the rear. The principle is the same as the active Tesla coil, and thus, a greater ability to eliminate noise than the passive Tesla coil.



Analogue dither technology 3rd generation

A 3rd generation of the Ansuz analogue dither technology has been developed. Analogue dither technology originated in radar, where it ensured a stronger signal and thus greater range. The active Tesla coils send pulsating signals at precisely defined frequencies. These signals are sent in anti-phase. This significantly amplifies the musical signal and eliminates the background noise floor.

Analysis and studies have led to new options – and a lot of listening has resulted in this 3rd generation design, which is a further optimisation of the most effective frequencies, which opens the soundscape even more and with the tiniest details when it comes to reproduction of the recordings.



Active zirconium anti-airial resonance Tesla coil

Based on Ansuz’s general curiosity about the properties of different materials, Ansuz has implemented a zirconium bar in their anti-air resonance coil design. This is another impressive upgrade to the Ansuz anti-aerial resonance coil technology.

The properties of this zirconium bar allow for unprecedented resonance control, resulting in outstanding musical refinement that creates a natural soundstage, unrivalled in its purity, precision and attention to musical detail.
