AV Amplifier

Start Your Journey into True High-Fidelity Immersive Surround Sound.

Overview

The AVA15 brings breathtaking clarity and depth to every note and every scene, putting you at the heart of the performance.

Expertly engineered in Cambridge, UK, and built on over 30 years of surround sound expertise, the AVA15 combines our passion for music with cutting-edge technology. Its powerful Class D amplification and advanced immersive audio processing deliver a sound that’s as thrilling as it is precise.

With nine channels of amplification, the AVA15 drives setups like 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 with ease—and gives you room to expand with extra subwoofers, height, or surround speakers. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X bring cinema-grade immersion to your home, while Dirac Live room correction ensures every detail sounds perfect in your space.

At ARCAM, sound quality isn’t just a promise—it’s our obsession. The AVA15 is the result of rigorous testing and listening sessions to award it the ARCAM name.

And with a vibrant 6.5" colour display, intuitive on-screen menus, and the new Radia App, setup and streaming are effortless.
