Nine channels of Class G amplification. Sixteen channels of immersive audio processing. Dirac Live room correction. Matrix channel assignment. This is ARCAM's most advanced AV solution — engineered in Cambridge, UK, for those who refuse to compromise.

Uncompromised Sound. Uniquely Flexible.

There are AV amplifiers built for convenience, and then there is the Arcam AVA35 — built for conviction. Designed for those who understand that the space between sound and silence is where great engineering lives, the AVA35 represents the absolute summit of what Arcam's Cambridge engineers have achieved in over four decades of pursuing sonic perfection.

At its heart beats Arcam's signature Class G amplification — a technology exclusive to Arcam, revered by audiophiles for its ability to deliver superior power with lower crossover distortion and an unmistakably musical character. Paired with the same high-performance DAC architecture found in Arcam's flagship stereo systems, the AVA35 doesn't just process cinema and music — it elevates them. Every film becomes an event. Every album, a revelation.

Nine Channels. Sixteen Dimensions.

With nine channels of Class G power and support for up to 16-channel immersive audio processing, the AVA35 conjures soundscapes of extraordinary depth and realism. Dolby Atmos places sound exactly where it would exist in the real world — above, around, and through you. DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced deliver reference-quality audio with the precision of a professional mixing suite. And AURO-3D wraps your listening environment in a cocoon of life-like, enveloping sound that redefines what home cinema can be.

Matrix Channel Assignment

The AVA35 introduces matrix channel assignment — a genuinely flexible approach that allows you to freely reallocate amplifier channels across your speaker configuration. Whether you're building a dedicated cinema room, an audiophile music system, or a hybrid that does both, the AVA35 adapts to your vision rather than constraining it.

Dirac Live Room Correction

No room is perfect. Dirac Live analyses your specific acoustic environment and applies precision correction across the full frequency range, transforming real-world listening rooms into world-class sonic spaces. For those seeking the ultimate in room optimisation, optional upgrades to Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment are also supported.

Seamlessly Connected

The AVA35 is built for the way modern listeners consume music. Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Qobuz Connect bring your streaming services directly into the amplifier's world-class signal chain. Bluetooth with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast support ensures wireless listening at its finest. And the Radia App for iOS, Android, and Windows devices provides effortless setup, control, internet radio, podcast playback, and UPnP streaming — all from your listening position.

A backlit Bluetooth remote control and large 6.5" high-resolution colour display ensure that operating the AVA35 is as elegant as listening through it.
