Arcam AVR31 HDMI 2.1 Class G AV Receiver

Arcam Flagship Class “G” Home Theater Receiver

Arcam AVR31 is a culmination of decades of engineer’s dreams, put into a silver box that elevates home theater to the pinnacle of surround sound nirvana. The Arcam AVR31 is built with meticulously sourced components, like a top-of-the-line Class G amplifier, reference level digital-to-analog converters, and a robust power supply. All this engineering is wrapped around the most advanced surround sound processing that helps make your movies more lifelike than ever.

The Arcam AVR31 uses a powerful Class G amplifier that dishes out a whopping 120 watts of high-current power per channel, that’ll power most any tower or bookshelf speakers. This very musical amp design uses Class A circuitry for low-level signals, then employs a higher-voltage power supply for more demanding dynamic peaks, all while keeping distortion very low. The Arcam AVR31 also has an over-engineered toroidal power supply, which helps eliminate noise before it ever reaches the amplifier, something you’d expect at this level.

Suspend disbelief

The Arcam AVR31 has 7-amplified channels onboard, it supports an incredible 16 channel of surround sound decoding for formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and AURO-3D.  This approach allows you to add additional amplification for Atmos channels when needed.

You can power a solid surround sound system using just the receiver’s seven built-in channels. Or you can take advantage of the sixteen preamp outputs on the rear panel by using separate amplifiers to run the massive system of your dreams. Either way, this receiver accurately reproduces every aspect of a movie’s soundtrack, from thunder above, to explosions behind, and front-and-center action unfolding on-screen.

This receiver has your sound quality covered on the music side of things as well. There are two reference ESS Sabre ESS9026PRO audiophile-grade DACs inside that tastefully unveil the detail and nuance in your music. Each DAC has its own reference ESS voltage regulator, which drastically improves how each chip handles the incoming audio signal.

Streaming your music has never been easier

This receiver offers plenty of ways to get your music going. It supports streaming through Apple AirPlay® 2, Google Chromecast, Bluetooth®, Spotify Connect®, and TIDAL Connect. It supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) too, which lets you access high-res files stored on your home network. You can select streaming sources through the free MusicLife app (available on Android™ and iOS®). The app also lets you use your phone as a Wi-Fi remote control.

Industry giant Dirac room correction

Dirac Live® is one of the finest room correction systems in the industry. Use the included microphone and run the Dirac software on your laptop to take precise sound measurements in your room. After the software completes the test, it then creates a personalized EQ correction curve for all your speakers, made to overcome your room’s specific acoustic characteristics. By using Dirac, you’ll let your speakers achieve their full sonic potential. Download Dirac Live
