Arcam SA45 - Integrated amplifier with Class G and high-end streaming in focus
Arcam SA45 is built for systems where both power and finesse need to be in place. It combines Arcam's Class G amplification with an advanced DAC and a balanced circuit design that keeps the signal clean throughout the entire signal path.
The result is an amplifier that plays with ease, composure, and a soundstage that feels open and lively – whether you stream music, play vinyl, or use it with TV and home theater.
Highlights
Class G amplification with 2 x 180 watts at 8 ohms
ESS Sabre DAC with support for 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256
Balanced circuit design
MM and MC phono input
AV bypass for home theater
Balanced XLR and RCA inputs
Powerful toroidal transformer
Aluminum chassis with vibration damping
Class G with power and control
SA45 uses Arcam's Class G technology, which combines high efficiency with more natural and stable reproduction. The amplifier delivers plenty of energy, but without the sound losing calm or balance.
This provides reproduction with good dynamics, clear voices, and a solid low end – even with demanding speakers.
DAC focused on detail
The built-in ESS Sabre DAC handles high-resolution music files with great detail and low noise. The music is reproduced with more air, better separation, and a more natural coherence between the instruments.
Jitter is kept low through the internal signal processing, which helps preserve timing and focus in the music.
Ready for both stereo and home theater
SA45 fits naturally into both classic stereo systems and modern home theaters. AV bypass makes it possible to integrate it into a surround setup without compromising stereo sound.
The MM and MC phono input also makes it ideal for vinyl systems where you want to keep the signal path simple and direct.
Stable construction with low noise
The balanced circuit operates with low noise and helps keep the signal clean. The large toroidal transformer delivers stable power with minimal electromagnetic impact on the rest of the electronics.
The aluminum chassis also reduces vibrations and provides better working conditions for the circuits.
Built for modern hi-fi systems
SA45 combines classic hi-fi with modern features and flexible connections. It suits both digital and analog sources and serves as a strong hub in serious music systems.
It is an amplifier for those who want both power, control, and a more vivid connection to the music.

SA45 leverer mere effekt og arbejder med et mere avanceret analogt kredsløbsdesign.
Det giver mere kontrol over store og krævende højttalere samt et mere stabilt og åbent lydbillede, især i større rum og mere ambitiøse high-end systemer.
Hvilke højttalere passer Arcam SA45 bedst til?
Den passer særligt godt til større og mere krævende højttalere. Med 180 watt pr. kanal og en kraftig strømforsyning arbejder den stabilt med højttalere, der kræver både strøm, kontrol og dynamisk overskud for at yde deres bedste.
Hvad betyder klasse G-forstærkning og det balancerede design i praksis for lyden?
Det betyder, at forstærkeren arbejder mere effektivt og med mindre støj i signalvejen. I praksis giver det en mere rolig og kontrolleret gengivelse, hvor detaljer, dynamik og rumfornemmelse står tydeligere frem – også når musikken bliver kompleks eller spilles højt.
