Reserve yours today and experience the pinnacle of integrated AV amplification.

Revolutionary Class G Amplification Technology

At the heart of the AVA35 lies ARCAM's proprietary Class G amplification technology—a design philosophy that sets this integrated amplifier apart from conventional AV receivers. Class G amplification delivers exceptional efficiency by switching between multiple power supply rails according to the signal's demands, providing the power reserves needed for dynamic cinema soundtracks whilst maintaining the delicacy and detail that music reproduction demands.

With nine channels delivering 100W into 8Ω (all channels driven) or 150W into 4Ω, the AVA35 provides substantial power reserves for even demanding loudspeaker systems. When driving two channels, output increases to 125W into 8Ω or 220W into 4Ω, ensuring dynamic headroom for the most challenging passages. Harmonic distortion measures just 0.002% at 80% power into 8Ω at 1kHz—a testament to ARCAM's obsession with audio purity.

Flagship DAC Architecture for Uncompromising Sound Quality

Combined with the same high-performance DAC architecture found in ARCAM's flagship stereo systems, the AVA35 ensures every note and every cinematic moment is rendered with breathtaking clarity and emotional impact. The frequency response extends from 20Hz to 20kHz with a tolerance of just ±0.05dB, whilst the signal-to-noise ratio of 100dB (A-weighted) guarantees a silent background from which even the subtlest details emerge.

At ARCAM, sound quality isn't just a promise—it's an obsession. The AVA35 represents the pinnacle of rigorous testing and critical listening sessions, more than deserving of the ARCAM name. This commitment to sonic excellence means the AVA35 excels equally with orchestral scores, intimate jazz recordings, and explosive cinema soundtracks.

Complete Configuration Flexibility

For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVA35 introduces matrix channel assignment, allowing you to reallocate channels freely for the most personalised and immersive configurations. Whether it's music, movies, gaming, or sport, this amplifier adapts to your vision of perfection. All 16 channels can be reassigned (with subwoofers routable to channels 4 and 11-16), providing unprecedented control over your system architecture.

With nine channels of Class G power, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, and Auro-3D processing, combined with Dirac Live room correction, the AVA35 transforms your space into a world-class listening environment. The processor supports Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation and DTS Virtual:X for enhanced immersion even without dedicated height speakers, whilst Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X upmixing breathe new life into legacy content.

Cutting-Edge HDMI and Video Processing

The AVA35 is comprehensively equipped for today's 8K displays and tomorrow's requirements. Seven HDMI 2.1a inputs and dual outputs (plus an additional output for Zone 2) support resolution up to 8K/60Hz or 4K/120Hz. Advanced features include Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for responsive gaming performance, whilst support for HDR, HDR10, HDR10+ Gaming, Dolby Vision, and HLG ensures stunning picture quality from any compatible source.

Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) on Zone 1 Output 1 provides seamless integration with smart televisions, allowing high-resolution audio formats to pass from your television's streaming apps directly to the AVA35. On-screen display facilitates straightforward setup and source selection, whilst CEC control integration creates a unified entertainment system.

Comprehensive Digital and Analogue Connectivity

Beyond HDMI, the AVA35 offers extensive connectivity for all sources. Two coaxial digital inputs support sample rates up to 192kHz at 24-bit resolution, whilst dual optical inputs handle signals up to 96kHz. Three pairs of analogue RCA inputs provide connectivity for turntables (via external phono stage), tape decks, or other line-level sources. All inputs maintain ARCAM's exacting standards: frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz ±0.2dB and signal-to-noise ratio of 100dB.

Sixteen RCA preamplifier outputs (2V RMS peak per channel) allow connection to external power amplifiers for expanded system configurations, with THD+N measuring –100dB across the 20Hz–20kHz bandwidth. This flexibility ensures the AVA35 can anchor both compact nine-channel systems and expansive multi-amplifier installations.

Seamless Streaming Integration

Modern connectivity meets traditional hi-fi excellence. The AVA35 works seamlessly with the new ARCAM Radia app for setup, control, internet radio, and podcasts. Streaming services integrate directly through Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Qobuz Connect, whilst Apple AirPlay and Google Cast provide additional wireless streaming options. Roon Ready certification ensures bit-perfect playback from Roon-managed music libraries.

The amplifier supports comprehensive high-resolution file formats including FLAC, WAV, MQA, ALAC, AIFF, and DSD up to DSD128, with sample rates reaching 192kHz and 24-bit depth. Gapless playback ensures seamless transitions between tracks, whilst the streaming pathway maintains a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz ±0.05dB—matching the performance of direct digital inputs.

Bluetooth 5.4 with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast ensures high-quality wireless audio transmission, supporting AAC, LE Audio, and multiple connection profiles for flexible wireless connectivity.

Intuitive Control and Display

Control is effortless—because the experience should be as seamless as the sound. The vibrant 6.5-inch high-resolution colour display presents status information and metadata with exceptional clarity, clearly visible from the comfort of your main listening position. The Bluetooth remote control allows continuous operation even when the amplifier is out of sight, whilst the ARCAM Radia app provides comprehensive setup and control from your mobile device.

Intuitive menus guide you through complex system configuration, making professional-level room correction and channel assignment accessible to any enthusiast. The interface balances sophistication with usability, ensuring that accessing the AVA35's extensive capabilities never becomes a barrier to enjoyment.
