High-Fidelity Class AB Home Cinema with 7.1.4 Immersive Processing
The Arcam AVR11 HDMI 2.1 Class AB AV Receiver combines ARCAM's audiophile amplifier engineering with twelve channels of immersive surround processing for sophisticated home cinema systems. Seven channels of Class AB amplification are derived from ARCAM's stereo amplifier designs, while the receiver's 12-channel processing platform supports layouts up to 7.1.4 when additional external amplification is added.
Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and AURO-3D decoding are joined by Dirac Live Room Correction for advanced system optimization. Seven HDMI 2.1 inputs support compatible 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video sources, while dual ESS 9026PRO DACs provide high-quality multichannel digital conversion. AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Bluetooth aptX HD, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, MQA and Roon Ready functionality round out a versatile platform for both movies and music.
