Technology Behind Arcam AV Sound Quality

1️⃣ High-Current Class AB Amplification

Most Arcam AVRs use Class AB amplification with large toroidal power supplies (in higher models).

Why it matters:

• Delivers cleaner current to speakers

• Better control of difficult 4Ω speakers

• Tighter, deeper bass

• Less distortion at higher volumes

Many competitors (especially mid-range models) use more compact power supplies or Class D modules to save space and cost.

Arcam AV receivers deliver real-world performance with high RMS power, ensuring continuous, distortion-free output that drives speakers confidently, even in demanding setups. With Dirac Live room correction, they analyze your room and optimize frequency and timing, giving tighter bass, clearer mids, and a precise, immersive soundstage. Advanced Class G amplification further boosts efficiency by dynamically switching voltage rails, providing high power when needed while keeping distortion and heat low. Together, these technologies make Arcam AVRs exceptionally capable of producing clean, natural, and musical sound, bringing out the best in every speaker and outperforming many competitors in both home cinema and high-fidelity listening.

Sound Tuning Philosophy
