This Maintronic AV30ec is a surprisingly handy little amp for small, permanent installations – think background music in shops or museums. The low voltage operation makes it easy to integrate into existing systems, and its compact size means it practically disappears. It’s not going to drive a concert hall, but for background audio in a tight spot, it’s a solid, budget-friendly option.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, it requires a 12-24V DC power supply, which is sold separately. You'll need to factor that into your budget and installation planning.
Given the price point, don't expect audiophile-grade SNR; it's adequate for background music but may exhibit some hiss with multiple sources at high volume.
It’s a basic 9-12V phantom power, sufficient for many electret microphones, but it’s not a premium-grade supply and may not be suitable for all mic types.
