Product Information
”Arcam's SA35 system ticks all the right boxes and picks up this year's Award.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2025 award-winner.
Everything your system needs
The Arcam SA35 features an impressive 120 watt amplifier with room-tuning potential from Dirac Live. Its unique Class G amplification delivers the best possible sound from all music genres and at all volume levels. It’s packed with streaming potential, including AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Internet radio, all under the control of Arcam’s Radia App. You can connect everything from your TV, via HDMI, to your turntable (with MM or MC cartridge). The SA35 is truly all-inclusive.
Class G for the best of all worlds
Arcam’s pioneering Class G amplifier technology gives the SA35 the best possible sound in all circumstances. The first quarter of its power is delivered in pure Class A, delivering 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 Class A all the way would demand. Sweet and refined yet a beast when unleased – the Arcam SA35 gives you the best of all worlds.
Dirac Live for Arcam gives you the very best sound in your room
For the very best sound in your room, Arcam includes a powerful room correcting technology from Dirac Research. This uses a microphone and dedicated software to take multiple readings around your room and feed the information back to the amplifier for a completely bespoke response (professional set-up recommended).
Radia App control for Internet radio and your choice of streaming service
Use the Arcam Radia App control to access a wide variety of popular music streaming services, including Amazon Music and Qobuz. The app also lets you access Internet radio stations and podcasts from around the world, opening up near unlimited entertainment.
Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast and Bluetooth
With support for Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast, the SA35 works equally as well with Apple and Android devices. Connect to your home system via wi-fi or Ethernet and effortlessly stream music from your smartphone, tablet and laptop. For a direct link with your music source, simply pair via Bluetooth.
Play directly from Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect
As well as connecting via AirPlay 2 and Chromecast, the SA35 also connects directly to Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect (premium accounts required). This lets you use their dedicated apps and enjoy the full experience from these music streaming market leaders.
Roon Ready and MQA support
Compatible with Hi-Res music files, the SA35 is ideal for playing back premium quality audio. MQA support means that you’ll get optimal quality sound from Tidal’s top tier music plans. Roon Ready* ensures that the SA35 can be incorporated into a Hi-Res, multiroom music system via Roon’s award-winning platform.
*Roon Ready available via software update.
Digital inputs with ESS DAC for superior sound quality
While Class G tech handles the amplifier side of business, the latest Hyperstream iV DAC from ESS (Digital to Analogue Convertor) optimises the sound from your digital sources. By going direct and using the Arcam’s built-in DAC, you get superb clarity and a much more ‘open’ sound with strong dynamics and low distortion. Two coaxial and two optical digital inputs let you connect up to four sources – perfect for your games console, CD, DVD and more.
Connect your TV via HDMI with eARC
Featuring an HDMI socket with eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel), the SA35 also gets the best from your TV’s sound. Connect your TV to this amp and you’ll have no need for a separate soundbar.
Fantastic with vinyl
Making this the ideal all-rounder, the SA35 also comes with a top quality phonostage. This is designed to the highest standards, giving you the best sound from your turntable. For wide-ranging cartridge compatibility, the SA35 is suitable for use with both MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving Coil) cartridges.
Sleek new style
The SA35 is the latest product to benefit from Arcam’s new design language. 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. The high-resolution, colour screen clearly displays album artwork and metadata.
Enhance your entire system, with the Arcam SA35.
