Product Information
”With its sparkling clarity and agility, the AVR5 makes for an engaging listen across a range of content.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Versatile AV amp that puts sound first
Arcam have a long heritage in premium audio and, with the AVR5, it’s clear to hear. The Class A/B amplifier sounds every bit as good with music as it does with thumping soundtracks, making this a truly all-round entertainer. With a true 60 watts per (7) channels, the AVR5 is suitable for all but the largest rooms.
Enjoy immersive sound, with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
Bringing the cinema home, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoders provide truly immersive sound through ceiling or up-firing speakers. The Arcam AVR5 offers both systems, giving a 5.2.2 system with twin ceiling or up-firing speakers.
Be even more immersed
With processing for 7.2.4 channels, you can add a 4-channel power amp (or two stereo power amps) and not only double the ceiling speaker count but also add additional effect speakers – giving total sound immersion. For the best results, match with the Arcam PA410 power amp.
