Class G Amplification: The ARCAM Advantage

At the heart of the AVA35 is ARCAM's signature Class G amplification technology.

Unlike conventional amplifier designs, Class G uses multiple power supply rails to deliver efficient operation while maintaining the sonic refinement associated with high-performance amplification.

The AVA35 provides nine channels of Class G power, delivering 145 watts per channel into 8 ohms with two channels driven.

The result is an amplifier designed to handle everything from the delicate nuances of a vocal performance to the explosive dynamics of a cinematic soundtrack.

16-Channel Processing for Immersive Home Cinema

Nine channels of built-in amplification are just the beginning.

The AVA35 supports up to 16 channels of processing, giving you the flexibility to expand your system with external power amplifiers.

Its Matrix Channel Assignment technology allows channels to be reassigned to accommodate a wide range of speaker configurations.

With Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, and AURO-3D support, the AVA35 creates an immersive sound field that surrounds the listener with precise, multidimensional audio.

Whether you're designing a 5.1.4 theater or planning a more elaborate installation, the AVA35 provides a versatile foundation.

Dirac Live Room Correction

Your room plays a critical role in how your system sounds.

The AVA35 includes Dirac Live Room Correction, allowing you to calibrate your speakers to the acoustic characteristics of your listening environment.

For advanced home theater installations, optional upgrades include:

  • Dirac Live Bass Control: Improves the integration of subwoofers and speakers for more consistent bass reproduction.

  • Dirac Live Active Room Treatment: Uses supported speakers and subwoofers to help manage room resonances and improve low-frequency performance.

Combined with professional system calibration, these technologies help unlock the full potential of your home theater.

8K Video and Next-Generation Gaming

The AVA35 is equipped with seven HDMI inputs and three HDMI outputs, providing extensive connectivity for modern entertainment systems.

Video capabilities include:

  • 8K resolution at 60Hz

  • 4K resolution at 120Hz

  • HDMI 2.1a with HDCP 2.3

  • Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM)

  • eARC/ARC

Connect your premium 4K projector, 8K television, gaming console, and movie sources through a single high-performance entertainment hub.

High-Resolution Music Streaming

A great AV amplifier should sound just as impressive with two-channel music as it does with movies.

The AVA35 supports an extensive range of streaming services and technologies, including Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, and Roon Ready compatibility.

Apple AirPlay and Google Cast provide convenient wireless playback, while Bluetooth 5.4 with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast expands your listening options.

High-resolution music playback up to 24-bit/192kHz allows you to enjoy your digital music collection with exceptional detail.

The AVA35 features a large 6.5-inch high-resolution color display that presents system information and music metadata clearly from your listening position.

A backlit Bluetooth remote provides convenient operation, while the ARCAM Radia AV Control app offers setup, system control, internet radio, podcasts, and UPnP playback.
