The Pinnacle of AV Engineering
Developed in Cambridge, UK, the AVA35 represents over four decades of Arcam’s relentless pursuit of sonic perfection. Its robust build quality and plastic-free packaging underscore a commitment to sustainable, long-lasting design.
Signature Class G Amplification
Arcam’s proprietary Class G topology delivers 145W into 8Ω (2 channels driven) and 110W into 8Ω (7 channels driven) with just 0.004% THD. The result is a strikingly dynamic, musical character with lower crossover distortion than conventional Class AB designs—perfect for even the most demanding soundtracks and recordings.
Expansive Immersive Audio Processing
With full decoding of Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced and AURO-3D across up to 16 channels, the AVA35 crafts three-dimensional soundscapes with pinpoint accuracy. Every explosion, whisper and orchestral swell is positioned with lifelike precision, transporting you into the heart of the action.
Matrix Channel Assignment for Ultimate Flexibility
The AVA35’s innovative matrix assignment allows you to reallocate its nine amplifier channels to match any speaker configuration—be it a dedicated cinema rig, audiophile music system or hybrid layout. Your creativity isn’t constrained; it’s empowered.
Dirac Live Room Correction: Perfected Sound
Dirac Live analyses and corrects your room’s acoustic anomalies, delivering a flat frequency response and laser-sharp imaging. For those wanting the utmost precision, optional Bass Control and Active Room Treatment upgrades take calibration to the next level.
Seamless Modern Connectivity
From Apple AirPlay and Google Cast to Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect and Qobuz Connect, the AVA35 integrates all your favourite streaming services into its world-class DAC architecture. Bluetooth 5.4 with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast, plus the Arcam Radia App for iOS, Android and Windows, puts effortless control at your fingertips.
