Arcam Radia AVA 35

ARCAM's Top Model

The ARCAM AVA35 is designed for users who do not want to make any compromises when it comes to home cinema and music. As an integrated audio-video amplifier, it combines powerful amplification, modern format support, and flexible system customization in one device. Developed in Cambridge, UK, ARCAM positions the AVA35 as its most advanced integrated AV solution for particularly demanding users.

Class G for Control

ARCAM's signature Class G amplification is a key advantage of the AVA35, as it combines high power with very controlled playback. Together with 9 x 100 Watt and good load stability, this creates a solid foundation for demanding speaker and surround setups. According to the datasheet, it also features a high-performance DAC design from the stereo flagship systems, very low distortion, and a frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

More Freedom in Setup

Matrix Channel Assignment makes the AVA35 particularly flexible, as the available channels can be assigned purposefully depending on the system. This is useful if the setup should not remain rigid, but needs to adapt to the room, speaker concept, or type of use. Overall, the device supports up to 16 channels, with all channels being reassignable; subwoofers can be assigned to CH4 and CH11 to CH16.

Immersive and Modern

With Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro-3D, and IMAX Enhanced, the AVA35 covers the key modern surround formats. HDMI 2.1a, eARC, 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz, and extensive streaming support make it ready for current sources and playback scenarios. Additionally, the datasheet lists Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation, Dolby Surround, DTS HD Master, DTS Neural:X, DTS Virtual:X, MPEG-H, as well as modern HDMI features like VRR, ALLM, CEC, and Dolby Vision.

Everyday Convenience

Dirac Live, the large 6.5-inch color display, Bluetooth 5.4 with Auracast, and the Radia App ensure that the AVA35 is not only technically powerful, but also easy to use. It fits well into systems that combine sound quality, flexibility, and modern user experience. Additional features include Gapless Playback, On-Screen Display, Internet Radio, Podcasts, UPnP, and Hi-Res audio support up to 24 bit / 192 kHz.
