About the Kraftwerk 3
The Symphonic Line Kraftwerk MK 3 is a German-made, high-end stereo integrated amplifier combining a Class A preamplifier section with a powerful Class A/AB transistor push-pull power amplifier. It uses a modular circuit layout with short signal paths, a separate power-supply chassis, a switchable MM/MC phono stage, headphone output, remote volume control, and provision to separate the preamplifier and power-amplifier sections. Available documentation identifies the Kraftwerk MK 3 as Symphonic Line’s largest standard integrated amplifier. A later Kraftwerk MK 3 Reference Edition is a related upgraded variant with substantially different power-supply and output specifications; the data below refers primarily to the standard Kraftwerk MK 3, with variant information clearly identified.
