Immersive 9-Channel Home Cinema with Flexible 12-Channel Processing
The Arcam AVA15 AV Amplifier brings ARCAM's high-fidelity approach to immersive home cinema in an efficient nine-channel Class D design. With twelve channels of processing and nine channels of built-in amplification, the AVA15 can directly power configurations such as 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 while maintaining additional flexibility for subwoofer, surround and height-channel expansion.
Dirac Live Room Correction helps optimize the system for the listening environment, while Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and MPEG-H provide comprehensive immersive-audio playback. Seven HDMI 2.1a inputs support compatible 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz sources, and built-in Roon Ready, AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect and Bluetooth 5.4 functionality make the AVA15 equally capable with movies, gaming and high-resolution music.
