Product Information
Powerful, enveloping sound comes naturally to the Arcam AVR21. With enhanced processing technology, it’s better than ever.

Effortless power for cinematic sound
With multi-channel power up from 60 watts per channel (AVR11) to a mighty 90 watts, the AVR21 delivers smooth, effortless power. The 50% increase in power not only improves music and soundtrack dynamics but also fills larger rooms more easily. That extra drive comes in handy for less efficient speakers, too.

Processing for up to 16 channels for even more immersive sound
Another big upgrade with this AVR is the addition of 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 the Arcam PA410, PA240 or PA720 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*.

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X and Auro-3D
With support for the key digital surround sound formats, the AVR21 gives you more choice than ever. For fully immersive sound, Dolby Atmos is standard. Classic DTS:X is on board, as is DTS Virtual:X for 3D sound without all the speakers. Auro-3D, meanwhile, gives you the intensity of immersive, 3D sound, from all formats – including TV, gaming and music – without the need for Dolby or DTS encoding.

Ready for 8K TV and next-gen gaming
Featuring 8K compliant HDMI sockets, this Arcam AVR is ready for the next generation of TV and gaming. The amp passes through 8K/60Hz signals, ensuring you get the full benefit from your 8K TV and video source. The sockets are also compatible with 4K/120Hz signals. You’ll find these on the latest gaming consoles and, when combined with compatible games, they help reduce lag and promote smoother game play.

Supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+
As well as supporting 8K, the AVR21 also supports a wide range of High Dynamic Range video formats. These include Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. It also supports HDR10+, which enhances picture realism by sending dynamic Meta data to your TV. In short, whatever the format used by the film, game or stream, this Arcam supports it.

Audiophile components for class-leading sound quality
Using audiophile-grade components, the AVR21 delivers the quality to match the power and processing tech. At the heart of this Arcam AVR is a toroidal power supply. Unusual for an AV receiver, this type of power supply is more usually only found in high-end stereo amps. It helps the AVR deliver smooth, dynamic sound that works equally as well with music as movies. Other high–end components include the Dual ESS 9026PRO DACs with ESS reference voltage regulators. These ensure the most precise processing possible, giving exceptionally low levels of background noise for a high dynamic range.

Made for High Resolution music – including support for MQA and ROON Ready
More proof that the AVR21 is designed for music lovers comes from the wide range of High Resolution audio format support. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) – as used by TIDAL Masters – is compatible, and the Arcam is also ROON Ready. This status means it’s compatible with the award-winning ROON music player – including Hi-Res file playback.

Full networking control
With Ethernet, wi-fi and UPnP, it’s easy to connect to your network and get streaming content. Once connected, you can take advantage of a whole host of streaming options, including Google Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2 and UPnP (Universal Plug ‘n Play). Link to your control app of choice and enjoy streaming music services, Internet Radio, Podcasts and even your stored music collection via the UPnP.

Built-in Chromecast
Featuring Google’s Chromecast, the AVR21 is perfect for music streaming. Working in conjunction with streaming services such as Spotify, Google Play and Deezer, this lets you hook up with your favourite music from your smartphone or tablet. With TuneIn, you also get access to a massive range of Internet radio and podcasts – all easily accessible.

MusicLife control app
Take full control of streaming music to your Arcam device with the MusicLife control app (available on Apple iOS devices, Android UPnP app also available). Working with the wireless system, it lets you stream music directly from your device as well as servers or computers connected via UPnP (Universal Plug n’ Play). The latest version brings Internet Radio, Podcasts plus streaming from TIDAL and Qobuz. Advanced features, such as library searching, sorting, shuffle and repeat playback are also catered for.

High quality Bluetooth aptX HD
Perfect for parties and when friends are over, Bluetooth provides quick and easy, wireless connectivity for your guests’ smartphone. Simply pair the device and stream any audio from the smartphone or tablet. When used with a compatible source, Bluetooth aptX HD delivers premium sound quality that’s the best yet from Bluetooth technology.

Internet, DAB and FM – all the radio you need
Internet radio opens up access to a choice of hundreds of radio stations from around the world. Backing this up, the built-in DAB and FM tuners give wide-ranging access to all your favourite stations, including popular digital only stations, such as BBC 6 Music and 4 Extra.

Connects to the most complex systems
With seven HDMI inputs and three outputs, the AVR21 easily handles the most complex AV systems. The HDMI 2.1 sockets are compatible with HDCP2.3 and eARC, making them suitable for use with the latest TVs and video sources. Six digital and six analogue inputs are ample for a wide range of audio components – such as CD, streamer and pre-amp equipped turntable. There are also optical digital and analogue outputs – ideal for recording or looping sound through the Arcam.

HDMI Zone 2 output
Triple HDMI outputs make the AVR21 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.

Experience sumptuous cinema sound, with the Arcam AVR21.

Compact enough to suit any room yet full of sonic presence when it matters, the MartinLogan Foundation F1 speakers punch well above their weight.

Top brand speakers made compact
As the smaller model in the Foundation floorstanding range, the MartinLogan Foundation F1 speakers strike the perfect balance between sonic and physical presence. They make the ideal choice for powerful sound in smaller rooms. Using technically advanced features with MartinLogan’s famed engineering excellence, these speakers demonstrate supreme ability across all musical genres. Packed with refined detail at the top end, a natural mid-range and a punchy, upbeat bass, the Foundation F1’s satisfy on every level.

Stunning top-end sound
Renowned for their top-end detail and exceptional articulation, MartinLogan soar above ordinary speakers. Using folded, thin-film material, the Gen2 FMT 2 tweeters have a large surface area, light weight and low excursion. This means that you get a nuanced and incredibly lifelike treble response, with sumptuous detail. For a smooth and consistent response, across a wider seating area, Folded Motion Waveguides direct the sound with precision.

Breathtaking vocals
Featuring trickle down technology from MartinLogan’s Motion speakers, the F1 uses an aluminium, unibody cone. Mounted in a non-resonant, sealed chamber it ensures smooth and articulate vocals, with breathtaking detail.

Richly balanced and perfectly timed bass
For great bass from a compact design, the Foundation F1 uses a triple woofer array. The combined effect of using three woofers means that the bass drops further than you might expect for such a room-friendly speaker design. For the best room integration, the woofers are placed as low in the cabinet as possible. Like the midrange driver, the woofers feature aluminium, unibody construction for a focused and fast-paced response.

Timeless design
For the best fit with your room, the F1 speakers are available in black, white or walnut. Subtle detailing, such as bronze and gunmetal driver trim, gives these speakers a premium finish to match their sound. Stealth-lock grilles hold the grilles firmly in place, while maintaining smooth aesthetics with the grilles removed.

Breathtaking vocals
Featuring trickle down technology from MartinLogan’s Motion speakers, the B1 uses an aluminium, unibody cone. Moving with linear precision, the cone delivers a smooth and consistent response that’s ideal for hearing every subtle detail from vocals and other mid-range instruments, such as piano and guitar.

Articulate bass
Although small, the Foundation B1 speakers have a smooth and articulate bass response that’s always quick to respond. The bass reflex cabinet optimises the speakers’ efficiency, ensuring that the bass is well balanced, even at lower volumes.

Timeless design

Stunning top-end sound
Famous for their top-end detail and exceptional articulation, MartinLogan soar above ordinary speakers. Using folded, thin-film material, the Gen2 FMT 2 tweeter has a large surface area, light weight and low excursion.

For a smooth and consistent response, between the front speakers, Folded Motion Waveguides direct the sound with precision.

Breathtaking vocals
Featuring trickle down technology from MartinLogan’s Motion speakers, the C1 uses aluminium, unibody cones. Moving with linear precision, the cones deliver a smooth and consistent response that’s ideal for hearing every subtle detail from the dialogue.

Anti-lobing design
Lobing is when the soundwaves from two sources conflict with one another, giving an irregular response. To get around this, MartinLogan use a 2.5-way crossover, ensuring the correct tonality and sonic precision.

Timeless design
For the best fit with your room, the C1 speaker is available in black, white or walnut. Subtle detailing, such as bronze and gunmetal driver trim, gives this speaker a premium finish to match its sound.

Compact enough to fit discreetly into most rooms, yet a real powerhouse when called on, the MartinLogan Dynamo Foundation 10 delivers bass in style.

Go deeper into the sound
Featuring a downwards-firing, 10” woofer cone, the MartinLogan Dynamo Foundation 10 subwoofer makes the perfect partner for your bookshelf or smaller floorstanding speakers. Despite its modest size, the Dynamo Foundation 10 reaches right down to 25Hz, giving your music and movies the bottom-end rumble they deserve.

Controlled impact
Ensuring that you get to hear the full potential from the woofer, MartinLogan’s proprietary Magnitude amplifier delivers clean and efficient control. The Class-D amplifier produces 200 watts, for perfectly controlled and dynamic bass, even at higher volume levels.

Performance-enhancing DSP
Utilising a high-resolution, 200MHz DSP (Digital Signal Processor) with 56-bit processing, the Dynamo Foundation 10 has the control to match its power. The advanced processing ensures that the audio signal is completely free of distortion or artifacts, maximising the bass purity.

Versatile connectivity and control
For wide-ranging system versatility, MartinLogan’s Dynamo subwoofers feature an LFE input for home cinema systems and stereo RCAs for hi-fi use. Volume and low-pass filter controls tune the sub precisely to your main speakers and the phase control lets you position the sub behind you while keeping the sound in sync with your main speakers.

Optional WSK-1* for wireless connectivity
For wireless connectivity, MartinLogan offers the optional WSK-1 kit. Consisting of a wireless transmitter and receiver, set up is easy. With a USB 5V power input, the units can often be powered from a compatible AVR and subwoofer. Once powered, it takes just a single button press to pair the units, meaning that the units work independently from your home wi-fi.
