MUSICAL PRECISION WITH POWER

The AVA15 is engineered with ARCAM’s in-house Class D amplification, delivering high efficiency combined with low distortion and impressive control. Each channel outputs 100 watts into 8 ohms in stereo and maintains stability even at full multichannel operation.

The amplifier delivers a linear frequency response with extremely low harmonic distortion, ensuring that both fine microdynamic nuances and powerful transients are reproduced with authority.

IMMERSIVE SOUND WITHOUT COMPROMISE

With support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, the AVA15 can drive advanced speaker configurations with height channels and a full three-dimensional soundstage. Up to 12 channels can be processed, and 9 channels are built into the amplifier itself.

Dirac Live room correction analyzes and optimizes frequency and phase behavior in the listening room, ensuring that the system is precisely adapted to the acoustics. The result is improved clarity, better integration between channels, and more realistic spatial reproduction.

ADVANCED HDMI PLATFORM

The AVA15 is fully compatible with modern video formats and gaming features. HDMI 2.1a supports up to 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz as well as HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG.

Features such as Variable Refresh Rate and Auto Low Latency Mode make the unit just as suitable for high-end home cinema as for demanding gaming setups.

REFERENCE-LEVEL STREAMING

The AVA15 integrates modern streaming platforms directly into the system. It supports Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, and is Roon Ready.

Hi-res formats up to 24 bit / 192 kHz are played back without compromise, and gapless playback ensures an uninterrupted music experience. Bluetooth 5.4 with Auracast and Snapdragon Sound provides additional flexibility.

PROFESSIONAL SIGNAL HANDLING

With 12-channel pre-out via RCA, the AVA15 offers the possibility of external power amplification in larger systems. The balanced signal processing reduces noise and ensures optimal signal integrity.

Analog and digital inputs are engineered with a focus on low noise and stable reference-level performance, making the amplifier suitable both as a control center and as a serious music amplifier.

DESIGN AND USER EXPERIENCE

The 6.5” color display presents album covers and metadata in high resolution. Setup and control are handled intuitively via the new ARCAM Radia app, where streaming, presets, and internet radio are integrated into one unified platform.

The cabinet is finished with the understated British aesthetic that characterizes ARCAM, and the build quality reflects the seriousness of the design.

WHEN MUSIC IS THE STARTING POINT

The AVA15 is created with a clear priority: sound quality first. Films follow on an impressive scale, but the foundation is musicality, precision, and control.
