Advanced Pascal Class D technology for supreme control

The U-588 is based on the latest version of Pascal Class D amplifier technology, which includes faster UMAC switching modulation. The result is less noise, reduced filtering requirements and lower output impedance. The benefit is improved control over the speakers and consistent performance across the entire musical spectrum, providing a deeper and more dynamic sound experience.

Active Tesla Coils – A revolution in noise reduction

To ensure crystal clear sound without interference, the U-588 is equipped with active Tesla coils. They act as effective noise cancellers by providing lower impedance, increasing the ability to eliminate electrical noise. The active Tesla coils are three to four times more effective than passive solutions, so you can enjoy your music without unwanted background noise.

3rd Generation Analog Dither Technology – Maximizes Detail

The third generation of Aavik's analog dither technology is based on principles from radar engineering, where it improves signal strength for greater range. By sending pulsing signals at precisely defined frequencies in anti-phase, the technology amplifies the musical signal and significantly reduces the noise floor. The result is a more open soundstage with exceptional detail reproduction, allowing you to discover new nuances in your favorite recordings.

Designed by two Hi-Fi Icons

The Aavik U-588 is the result of a unique collaboration between two legendary figures in the hi-fi world. Flemming Erik Rasmussen, the founder of Gryphon Audio, has contributed over 35 years of design expertise to the aesthetic masterpiece that is the U-588. Together with Michael Børresen's innovative technical approach, they have created an amplifier that not only delivers exceptional sound, but also stands as a work of art in your listening room.

Integrated Perfection – Simplicity meets performance

By integrating streamer, DAC, line amplifier and power amplifier into one unit, the U-588 reduces signal loss and optimizes music reproduction. The holistic approach ensures that each component plays a precisely defined role, resulting in pure and undistorted sound quality. The streamlined design makes it easy to integrate the U-588 into your existing setup, while taking the listening experience to new heights.

Anti Aerial Resonance Coil Technology – Protection against airborne noise

The U-588 uses advanced anti aerial resonance coil technology to prevent airborne RF noise from entering the system. Acting as a protective barrier, these coils absorb unwanted noise, ensuring that the signal remains clean and undisturbed. This is essential for achieving the highest possible sound quality, especially in environments with a lot of wireless signals.

Unsurpassed build quality and choice of materials

Every detail of the U-588 has been carefully selected to optimize performance. The cabinet is designed with a focus on low inductance and zero hysteresis, while resonance control ensures that even the finest musical details are preserved. The solid construction and use of premium materials guarantee not only an exceptional sound experience, but also a long life for your investment.
