Highlights

• Class G amplification – Combines efficiency and sound quality without distortion.
• High power – 180W per channel into 8Ω, with dynamic headroom for demanding speakers.
• Built-in ESS Sabre DAC – Supports high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256.
• Balanced circuitry – Ensures clean signal transmission with minimal noise and interference.
• Phono input – Dedicated MM/MC input for vinyl enthusiasts.
• AV bypass – Seamless integration with home theater systems.
• Stable power supply – Powerful toroidal transformer ensures consistent performance.

Powerful and Precise Amplification

The Arcam SA45 uses advanced Class G amplifier technology that switches between two power supply levels to deliver high output without the heat buildup and inefficiency experienced by traditional Class A amplifiers. The result is a dynamic, detailed, and musical presentation in which both low-frequency authority and high-frequency finesse are preserved.

With an output of 180 watts into 8 ohms (and even more at lower impedances), the SA45 is capable of driving even the most demanding speakers with ease.

High-Resolution Digital-to-Analog Conversion

The SA45 is equipped with a high-end ESS Sabre DAC that ensures clean and natural sound reproduction. Support for 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256 means that music can be enjoyed in its full quality without any loss of detail. The built-in digital signal processing optimizes the audio signal and reduces jitter, providing unmatched precision in playback.

Wide Range of Connectivity Options

The SA45 is designed to be the heart of any audio system and offers a versatile range of connections. With both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, it can be easily integrated into both analog and digital setups. For vinyl enthusiasts, there is a dedicated MM/MC phono input that ensures optimal performance for turntables.

For those who want a hybrid solution between hi-fi and home theater, the SA45 offers an AV bypass function, allowing it to operate as a pure power amplifier in a surround system without affecting the sonic precision of a dedicated stereo setup.

Designed for Pure Sound Reproduction

The SA45’s construction is built around a fully balanced circuit design, which eliminates noise and distortion from the signal path. The large, powerful toroidal transformer ensures a stable power supply with low electromagnetic interference, resulting in extremely clean and undisturbed sound reproduction.

The aluminum chassis is designed to minimize resonance and vibrations, further improving precision in sound reproduction.

An Amplifier for the Future

With the Arcam SA45, you get a future-proof amplifier that combines high-end amplifier technology with modern conveniences. Whether you want to drive large floorstanding speakers with authority or enjoy the subtle detail in your favorite music, the SA45 delivers a listening experience that brings you closer to the music.
