Solo Movie 5.1

Since its introduction in 2004, Arcam’s Solo music system has brought audiophile music reproduction to a whole new group of music lovers. With the launch of Solo 5.1, Arcam has achieved a world first: the advanced feature set of an esoteric home cinema system plus world class sound and picture quality in a stylish, neat and easy to use package.

Solo 5.1 boasts connectivity and playback abilities far beyond current high performance “one box” home cinema systems. Its internal video scaler, HDMI switching and universal disc playback makes it the perfect partner for today’s high definition video displays. However, it is the unit’s audio and video quality, its stylish, understated good looks and ease of use controls that will capture the hearts of music and movie fans the world over.
