Class AB Amplification: Music Comes First

16-Channel Processing for Expansive Home Theater

The AVA25 features nine channels of built-in amplification, making it capable of powering immersive configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 without additional power amplifiers.

For larger installations, its 16-channel processing and RCA preamplifier outputs allow you to add external amplification and expand your speaker system.

Support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, and AURO-3D gives you access to a wide range of immersive audio formats.

With flexible channel reassignment, the AVA25 can accommodate different speaker layouts and evolve alongside your home theater.

Your listening room is one of the most important components in your audio system.

The ARCAM AVA25 includes Dirac Live Room Correction, providing advanced calibration tools to help optimize speaker performance for the acoustic characteristics of your space.

For more demanding installations, optional upgrades include:

• Dirac Live Bass Control: Helps integrate subwoofers with the main speakers for more consistent bass reproduction.

Combined with professional speaker placement and calibration, Dirac Live helps bring out the full potential of your home theater.
