CLASS G – ARCAM’S SIGNATURE TECHNOLOGY

At the core of the AVA35 is ARCAM’s own Class G amplification. This unique topology combines the advantages of Class A and Class AB by using multiple voltage rails that are activated dynamically as needed. The result is low crossover distortion, high efficiency, and a significantly improved dynamic range.

With up to 125 watts per channel at 8 ohms in stereo, and even higher current capacity at lower impedances, the AVA35 delivers reproduction with authority, composure, and musicality at a level normally associated with dedicated high-end stereo amplifiers.

MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY

AVA35 introduces Matrix Channel Assignment, which allows free allocation of the amplifier channels. This makes it possible to configure the system precisely according to the needs of the room and the installation.

With up to 16-channel processing, advanced immersive setups can be realized without compromise. Subwoofers, height channels, and surround channels can be adjusted individually for optimal integration.

IMMERSIVE SOUND OF THE HIGHEST CLASS

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, and Auro-3D ensure a three-dimensional sound experience with realistic height information and precise spatial placement.

Dirac Live analyzes and corrects the room’s acoustic response and ensures that every channel works in perfect harmony. The result is cohesive and detailed reproduction, where both microdetail and macrodynamics emerge effortlessly.

ADVANCED HDMI AND VIDEO SUPPORT

AVA35 supports HDMI 2.1a with up to 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz, as well as HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. Features such as VRR and ALLM make it well suited to both high-end home theater and serious gaming.

The Zone 2 HDMI output provides flexibility in larger installations.

STREAMING AND DIGITAL INTEGRATION

AVA35 supports Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, and is Roon Ready. Hi-res audio up to 24 bit / 192 kHz as well as DSD up to 128 are handled without compromise.

Bluetooth 5.4 with Auracast and Snapdragon Sound ensures flexible wireless connectivity.

The internal DAC architecture is inspired by ARCAM’s flagship stereo models and delivers transparent and precise digital conversion.

PROFESSIONAL SIGNAL ARCHITECTURE

With 16-channel pre-out via RCA, the AVA35 allows external power amplification in larger reference systems. The low distortion and wide frequency response ensure stable and clean signal processing across all inputs.

Analog and digital inputs are designed with a focus on low noise and maximum signal integrity.

DESIGN AND USER EXPERIENCE

The 6.5” color display presents album artwork and metadata in high resolution. Setup and control are handled via the ARCAM Radia app, which provides intuitive access to streaming, presets, and network services.

The chassis combines British minimalism with solid construction and substantial weight, reflecting the serious internal build quality.

ARCAM’S ULTIMATE FLAGSHIP MODEL

AVA35 is developed for those who do not accept compromises. It combines Class G musicality, flexible channel control, and a complete immersive platform in one unified reference unit.

For the most demanding home theater and music enthusiast, the AVA35 is a central centerpiece where precision, power, and emotional depth meet at the very highest level.
