The flexibility extends to two balanced high-level inputs (XLR) and three unbalanced high-level inputs (RCA/Chinch), one of which can be configured as a phono input or surround-bypass.

Accustic Arts has equipped the Power III with a premium headphone amplifier and dedicated gold-plated speaker terminals, providing high-resolution sound across various output methods. Its integrated microprocessor-controlled volume control ensures precise adjustment, while separate level settings for each input allow users to fine-tune the sound to their preference.

Customizable Finishes and Optional Upgrades

The Accustic Arts Power III is available in two standard finishes—black and silver, which are included in the price. For those seeking a more luxurious look, there is an option for a gold edition, available at an additional cost. Furthermore, the Power III Digital Phono version is offered as an optional upgrade for those who wish to add a high-quality phono input, enabling even more versatility for vinyl enthusiasts.
