ARCAM A5

ARCAM A5 is the first integrated amplifier to join the new Radia line.

The "A" suffix of ARCAM indicates

Amplification: and this is the brand's greatest expertise.

ARCAM A5 encompasses over 45 years of amplifier design and manufacturing, dating back to their first product in 1976, the A&R Cambridge A60 amplifier.

Both the components and the materials used have been carefully analyzed and reviewed to guarantee maximum sound quality.

To be able to listen to music immediately, without having to connect cables, ARCAM A5 also features Bluetooth with Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology.

In this case the audio is in 24bit high definition from both phone and tablet, regardless of playback. In addition to receiving, it also has the ability to transmit the Bluetooth signal, for example to connect wireless headphones and listen to your favorite program without disturbing the other members of the family. High-resolution audio is also available through the wired digital audio inputs on the rear panel. As in every ARCAM integrated amplifier, particular attention was also paid to the built-in MM phono stage, to ensure maximum involvement even from vinyl records, which are increasingly present on our market.
