Product Information
”Arcam's new stereo amp offers terrific bang for your buck.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 Product of the Year.
The ideal amp for all your music
With a heritage that stretches back to 1976, Arcam’s amplifiers have always been amongst the best in their class for balancing sound with features. With its wide range of connectivity, sleek style and richly detailed sound, the Arcam A5 continues this success story. From a turntable to a TV and even taking in your smartphone via Bluetooth HD, this Arcam plays it all.
Perfectly balanced sound
Painstakingly developed, the Arcam A5 features a highly optimised Class AB amplifier. With new components and materials, the sound quality is cleaner and more precise, while still retaining the smooth and richly detailed sonic signature that has made Arcam so popular over the past decades.
Ample power
Outputting 50 watts per channel, the A5 has ample power to drive most speakers in a typical living room environment. With vanishingly low levels of distortion, it maintains higher volume levels without sounding strained or harsh.
A treat for your turntable
Much more than just a box-ticking exercise, the Arcam A5’s built-in phono stage makes a top quality connection for your turntable. Suited to turntables with MM (Moving Magnet) cartridges, the high spec phono stage draws a deep seam of information from your vinyl, letting you hear subtle details from the music that might previously have been missed.
Stream from your smartphone in Hi-Res audio
For simple yet high quality music streaming, the A5 features Bluetooth with Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology. When used with a compatible source device, this delivers up to 24-bit Hi-Res music streaming, giving you better than CD-quality, from a wireless connection.
Connect your headphones – Bluetooth or wired
The A5 welcomes all types of headphones, however they connect. Two-way Bluetooth connectivity lets you pair the amp with your Bluetooth headphones, giving you the freedom of movement that only wireless connectivity brings. Alternatively, the A5 also has a facia-mounted headphone socket for any type of wired headphones.
Connect all your digital and analogue sources
Featuring a built-in DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), the A5 effortlessly connects with your digital audio sources. Two coaxial and one optical input let you connect your TV, games console and digital music source. Coming from a top quality brand, the ESS DAC maximises your digital music’s full potential and should provide a boost in sound quality over using the analogue inputs. For analogue sources, however, such as an FM tuner, there are also three RCA phono inputs.
Sleek new style
As part of Arcam’s Radia series, the A5 looks slicker than any previous Arcam amp. With just two dials and subtle illumination, the amp strikes the perfect balance in catching the eye without distracting from the sound. The all-aluminium casing includes the volume and input dials, giving a high quality look and feel. A compact remote control is also included.

Compatible with FLAC and WAV encoded CDs, the player is also suitable for Hi-Res music playback. Alternatively, connect to the USB-A interface and play your stored Hi-Res music files. Supporting WAV and FLAC files up to 24 bit/96kHz, it’s a great way to maximise the player’s full sonic potential.
Connects to all types of systems
A trio of outputs make the CD5 easy to connect to a wide range of different systems. Use the digital optical or coaxial for connection to an AV receiver or high quality digital amplifier. For amplifiers with no digital input, connect via the analogue RCA outputs.
Sleek new style

Optimise the sound from all your CDs and Hi-Res stored music files, with the Arcam CD5.
Discreet and unobtrusive by design, the Q Acoustics 5010 speakers sound bold enough to impress above their scale.
Small speakers with a big heart
The Q Acoustics 5010 bookshelf speakers are compact enough to suit many applications. From desktop audio to surround speakers or simply used as a stereo pair in a smaller room, the 5010s fit right in. Thanks to their advanced design, however, the sound quality is anything but ‘compact’. Continuous Curved Cone drivers help deliver a seamless sound with mighty punch for such a compact speaker.
The purest top-end response
Based on the design from Q Acoustics’ top-end Concept models, the hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated tweeter units deliver a super-smooth top-end response. Mechanical decoupling effectively isolates the tweeter from vibrations, letting you hear every detail in the recording, no matter how subtle.
Continuous Curved Cone for seamless sound
Q Acoustics’ advanced C3 (Continuous Curved Cone) woofer unit transforms the sound of this impressive speaker. By creating the perfect cone profile and using a powerful magnet, you get low distortion, seamless sound. The woofer design also enhances the music’s dynamics, with a bass response that’s not just deeper but also tightly damped for a punchy response.
P2P cabinet bracing for the lowest distortion
For the drivers to deliver their best response, a rigid cabinet design is crucial. Q Acoustics deploy their P2P (Point-to-Point) bracing, which effectively enhances rigidity and reduces cabinet distortion. Reducing cabinet distortion lets the drive units operate at their optimum, giving a cleaner, more focused sound.
Choice of premium finishes
Complementing the 5010’s smooth good looks, a range of different cabinet finishes creates the perfect look for your room. Choose from contemporary Satin Black or Satin White finishes or go for the more traditional Santos Rosewood or Holme Oak real wood veneers.
