Launched to worldwide acclaim, Arcam’s Solo Music system has brought high-fidelity separates performance to a new audience of style-conscious music lovers.

Over the last 30 years, Arcam has earned a reputation as one of the world’s finest manufacturers of hi-fi components. Music has always been the driving force behind all we do, and we wanted to distil our audiophile expertise into a product that would widen the reach of what we do as a specialist manufacturer. We set out to deliver a level of performance that would meet the exacting standards of our design team in a single component, making true high fidelity more accessible than ever before.
SOLO represents the best of Arcam music technology housed in one sleek, easy-to-operate system. SOLO consists of an audiophile CD player and a 50 watts per channel amplifier combined with a DAB digital radio and a high quality FM tuner. The result is a product that is much more than the sum of its parts - a music system that’s a delight to use and will captivate all who listen.
Solo has been assembled using audiophile standard components and design methods. CD playback is exceptional as you might imagine from a company that has won more awards than any other UK manufacturer. Radio performance is first class from the built-in DAB digital radio and FM tuner. The amplifier delivers real power with finesse, loud enough for parties or Beethoven’s 9th symphony, but pure enough to delight every day of the week.
