Reference 16-Channel AV Processing for the Ultimate Immersive Home Theater

The ARCAM AVP45 AV Processor is a reference-level home theater processor engineered for sophisticated systems using dedicated external power amplifiers. Designed in Cambridge, UK, the AVP45 provides 16 channels of high-resolution decoding and processing through the same advanced DAC architecture developed for ARCAM’s flagship stereo components.

Every processed channel is available through both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA outputs, allowing the AVP45 to integrate with a wide range of multichannel power amplifiers. Matrix Channel Assignment provides complete flexibility across all 16 channels, making it possible to configure expansive Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, MPEG-H, and AURO-3D speaker systems around the room, equipment, and listening priorities.

Seven HDMI inputs and three HDMI outputs support HDMI 2.1a, HDCP 2.3, resolutions up to 8K/60Hz or 4K/120Hz, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, eARC, Variable Refresh Rate, and Auto Low Latency Mode. Dirac Live Room Correction, extensive lossless streaming, Bluetooth 5.4, a 6.5-inch color display, and the ARCAM Radia app make the ARCAM AVP45 AV Processor a highly capable command center for uncompromising cinema and music systems.
