Arcam AV41 15.2 Home Theater Processor
Let us tell you why the Arcam AV41 should be at the top of your list.
This pre-amp/processor will let you build the system of your dreams for both surround sound and music.
A great home theater system is a careful balance of the electronics, the speakers and the room itself. If you're looking to go all-out and get the most accurate, immersive sound, you'll need components that possess serious processing power. The Arcam AV41 has all the audio and video processing one's home audio system could ever need. This very capable home theater pre-amplifier boasts an incredible 16 channels of output, advanced surround sound decoding, plus balanced and unbalanced outputs for connecting amplifiers.
Why should you use a separate preamp/processor and power amplifiers rather than a receiver?
Most home theater receivers are "all-in-one" solutions. Typically, the amplifier and preamp sections can't be upgraded, meaning you have to buy a whole new receiver to get the latest and greatest features. "Separates" like this Arcam, on the other hand, let you swap out only what you need to. If you have an amplifier you adore and you'd hate to get rid of, you can upgrade your preamp without replacing anything else.
There's also the wide open system flexibility and sheer performance that separates provide. The AV41 has sixteen independent audio outputs to work with, plus two subwoofer outputs. And you aren't limited to just unbalanced RCA connections, either; this bad boy has balanced XLR outs too. You can go pedal-to-the-metal and run a 9.2.6 system right out the gate, or you can start small and expand later down the line.
Immersive audio and video
The AV41 brings enveloping cinematic experiences into your listening space. It supports an incredible 16 channels of decoding for "object-based" sound formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and AURO-3D. This preamp does a phenomenal job of reproducing sounds in their exact intended positions.
There are seven HDMI inputs on the rear panel, and all support 8K at 60 frames per second and 4K at 120 frames per second.
There are also three HDMI outputs, including an eARC output for your TV and a zone 2 output for feeding signal to a separate display.
Reference quality digital-to-analog converters
The Arcam AV41 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 all your music made easy
The AV41 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-leading 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.

Arcam PA720 7-Channel Power Amplifier With 100 Watts per channel
The Arcam PA 720 is the perfect complement flagship AV41 surround processor
If you're building a home theater system, the Arcam PA720 can power your speakers with all the watts they'll need. It produces 100 watts x seven channels, for your front left, right, and center speakers, plus four more surround and/or effects speakers. Now you can immerse yourself completely in movie dialogue, sound effects, and music.
Class G amplifier
The engineers who designed the PA720 wanted it to provide the right amount of power at the right time, so your entertainment choices sound exactly as they should. That's why they chose a Class G amplifier design, which uses 20 watts of Class A circuitry for standard-level signals, then kicks in a higher-voltage power supply for more demanding dynamic peaks. And it does it without adding any crossover distortion or noise.
Connections
The PA720 offers unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR inputs for connecting to an A/V preamp. An RS232 input allows third-party remote control, and an Ethernet port lets you connect to the internet and works with home automation. There's 12-volt trigger input and output for remote turn-on, and a USB Type-A port for firmware updates.
