About the Blackhawk MK3
The Blackhawk MK3 is a 20-watt-per-channel integrated tube amplifier using a push-pull ultralinear circuit, rated at 20Wpc into 8 ohms. It provides five stereo RCA line-level inputs, speaker outputs for 4 and 8 ohm loads, and a stereo RCA subwoofer/variable output. The amplifier is self-biasing, so the user does not need to adjust tube bias. It is part of Raven Audio's Avian series and is hand-assembled in the USA, sharing the same basic chassis, tube complement, and core circuit topology as the Nighthawk MK3 but with an upgraded preamp section and higher-grade internal components for greater detail, dynamics, and soundstage. The Blackhawk MK3 is finished in black with silver front trim and is positioned as the step up from the Nighthawk MK3 in the Avian lineup.
