Product Information
With uncompromising sound and enhanced connectivity, the Arcam AVA35 represents the summit of home cinema and musical performance, making it the perfect choice for true connoisseurs of sound.
Seismic cinema sound
Packing an impressive 100 watts per channel (at 8 ohms), with all channels driven, the flagship Arcam AVA35 has power enough for every eventuality. From the largest rooms to the least efficient speakers, the AVA35 always has the power to impress. As well as high volume, the power also gives action movies and stadium concerts the dynamics they deserve – making you feel more like you’re ‘there’, at the concert itself.
Innovative Class-G technology
Arcam’s pioneering Class-G amplifier technology gives the AVA35 the best possible sound in all circumstances. The first quarter of its power is delivered in pure Class-A. Class-A is renowned for a rich, smooth sound that makes instruments and vocals sound incredibly lifelike. Once you go beyond this point, efficient digital amplification kicks in – delivering plenty of power without the huge reserves of power and inefficiency that pure Class-A all the way would demand. Sweet and refined yet a beast when unleashed – the Arcam AVA35 gives you the best of all worlds.
Your choice of surround sound configuration
Featuring nine powered channels, the AVA35 gives you a wide choice of speaker configurations. Choose between 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos speaker configurations with two or four ceiling speakers. Alternatively, stick with 5.1.2 and power a second pair of speakers in another room or bi-amp your main pair of speakers. As your system grows, so the capability of this Arcam AVA grows with it.
Processing for up to 16 channels for even more immersive sound
For the ultimate in sound immersion, this Arcam AVA offers processing for up to 16 channels. Add additional power amps and you’ll be able to decode Dolby Atmos and DTS:X signals, right up to 9.1.6 – enough for the largest home cinemas. For best results, pair with matching Arcam power amps.
Unique Dirac systems for sound that’s tailored to your room
Dirac Live Room Correction uses sophisticated technology to get the perfect sound for your room. Using a microphone and dedicated software, it takes multiple readings around your room, feeding the information back to the amplifier for a completely bespoke response (professional set-up recommended). You can take Dirac to the next level by upgrading to Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment*.

Your choice of immersive 3D sound
Whatever speaker configuration you decide upon, the AVA35 has a surround format to suit. Compatible formats include Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation, DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X, IMAX Enhanced and Auro-3D. This huge range of options means you can adapt your surround sound speaker system from the simplest system with ‘virtual height’ speakers to multi-channel systems that truly bring the cinema home.
Radia App control for Internet radio and your choice of streaming service
Use app control to access a wide variety of popular music streaming services, including Amazon Music and Qobuz. For even more music, the app lets you access Internet radio stations and podcasts from around the world, opening up near unlimited entertainment. If you want to stream from your own network, the app also facilitates UPnP (Universal Plug n Play) playback from iOS and Android devices.
Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast and all the ‘Connects’
With support for Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast, the AVA35 works equally as well with Apple and Android devices. As well as connecting via AirPlay 2 and Google Cast, the AVA35 also connects directly to Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Qobuz Connect (premium accounts required). This lets you use their dedicated apps and enjoy the full experience from these music streaming market leaders.
Advanced Bluetooth connectivity, including Auracast
Extending wireless Bluetooth connectivity to its limits, the AVA35 features Bluetooth 5.4 with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast compatibility. This means that you can stream lossless audio, wirelessly via Bluetooth from your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer. Auracast facilitates wireless connectivity with compatible headphones and speakers.
Enhanced compatibility for movie fans and gamers
Upgrading on previous Arcam receivers, the AVA35 features seven, 8K compatible HDMI inputs and three outputs. They support 8K pass-through, HDR10+, Dolby Vision and eARC (Zone 1, Output 1), making them ideal for connecting an 8K TV. As well as suiting 8K TVs, the advanced HDMI 2.1a interface also helps give your gaming a boost. This facilitates a range of features, including 4K/120Hz HDR pass-through for ultra-fast motion. VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) eliminates lag, stutter, and frame-tearing for fluid gameplay. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) optimises latency from source to screen.
HDMI Zone 2 output
Triple HDMI outputs make the AVA35 even more versatile. Use two of the outputs within the same room for connecting a TV and projector simultaneously. The third HDMI is independent, making it ideal for sound and vision in a second room.
Ease of use, including Bluetooth remote control and large display
For decisive control, wherever you are in the room, the AVA35 is supplied with a Bluetooth remote control. This means that you don’t need to be in line of sight of the AVA for remote commands. The large, high-resolution colour display provides crisp and clear status and metadate information, even when viewed from a distance.
Stylish design
As part of Arcam’s Radia series, the AVA35 boasts timeless style. With its minimal button count 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 dial, giving a high quality look and feel.
Experience the thrill of home cinema sound, delivered without compromise, with the thrilling Arcam AVA35.
