Start Your Journey into True High-Fidelity Immersive Surround Sound

The Arcam AVA15 is a 9-channel Class D AV amplifier that brings breathtaking clarity, depth and immersive surround sound to every listening experience — placing you at the heart of the performance. Expertly engineered in Cambridge, UK, and built on over 30 years of surround sound expertise, the AVA15 combines Arcam's passion for music with cutting-edge audio processing technology.

This is an AV amplifier built not just to process surround sound, but to reproduce it with the precision and musical authority that Arcam demands. The AVA15 is the result of rigorous testing and critical listening sessions — the standard that every product must meet before it earns the Arcam name.

Powerful Arcam Class D Amplification

Nine channels of Arcam Class D amplification deliver 85 watts per channel into 8Ω across all seven channels simultaneously — maintaining power and control in the most demanding multi-channel configurations. The AVA15 drives 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos setups with ease, and offers room to expand with additional subwoofers, height speakers or surround channels as your system grows.

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X & MPEG-H — Immersive Audio in Full

The AVA15 supports the complete suite of immersive audio formats for a truly cinematic experience at home:

• Dolby Atmos — object-based 3D audio that places sound precisely in three-dimensional space, including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation and Dolby Surround
• DTS:X — places sound where it would naturally occur in space, with DTS HD Master, DTS Neural:X and DTS Virtual:X upmixing
• MPEG-H — next-generation immersive audio for broadcast and streaming content

Maximum channel count is 12, with Front, Surround Back and Height channels all reassignable to suit your room layout and speaker configuration.

Dirac Live Room Correction — and Expandable

Dirac Live room correction is built in, analysing your room's acoustic response and optimising speaker timing, frequency response and spatial performance for the most natural, balanced sound possible in your specific listening environment. For those who want to go further, the AVA15 supports optional upgrades to Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment for even greater low-frequency precision and room acoustic management.

HDMI 2.1a — 8K/60Hz & 4K/120Hz

Seven HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs, all at HDMI 2.1a with HDCP 2.3, provide comprehensive connectivity for the full range of modern sources — Blu-ray players, streaming devices, gaming consoles and televisions. Supported resolutions include up to 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz, with full support for VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), ARC and eARC, and the complete suite of HDR formats including HDR10, HDR10+, HDR10+ Gaming, Dolby Vision and HLG.

Auracast support enables simultaneous wireless transmission to multiple Bluetooth devices — ideal for private listening or multi-listener setups — representing the future of Bluetooth audio broadcasting.

6.5" Colour Display & Arcam Radia App

A large, high-resolution 6.5" colour display provides clearly visible status and metadata from the main listening position, eliminating the need to approach the unit during setup or operation. The new Arcam Radia app for iOS and Android provides intuitive setup, source control, streaming access and configuration — making the AVA15 as easy to live with as it is impressive to listen to. A back-lit Bluetooth remote control provides continuous out-of-sight control from anywhere in the room.
