Description
The Arcam AVA35 AV Receiver represents the pinnacle of Arcam’s home cinema engineering and is designed for listeners who demand the very best in sound quality, flexibility, and long-term performance. Engineered in Cambridge, UK, the AVA35 is the most advanced integrated AV receiver Arcam has ever produced.
Every design decision is focused on delivering a powerful yet refined listening experience that excels equally with music, film, gaming, and live sports. Extensive listening sessions and rigorous testing ensure that the AVA35 meets Arcam’s highest standards, resulting in a sound that is dynamic, controlled, and emotionally engaging.
This is an AV receiver built not to impress on paper alone, but to deliver a deeply immersive and musically convincing experience in real-world systems.
Class G Amplification and Reference DAC Technology
At the heart of the Arcam AVA35 AV Receiver is Arcam’s signature Class G amplification, delivering 100 watts per channel into eight ohms across nine channels. Class G combines the purity and low distortion of Class A operation with the efficiency and power reserves required for demanding multichannel playback.
This technology allows the AVA35 to deliver effortless dynamics, exceptional control, and a natural tonal balance even at high listening levels. Supporting the amplifier stage is an advanced ESS Hyperstream IV DAC Pro architecture, derived from Arcam’s flagship stereo products.
Together, these elements ensure that fine musical detail, spatial cues, and transient impact are reproduced with exceptional clarity, realism, and consistency across all channels.
Immersive Audio and Advanced Room Correction
The AVA35 is designed to create a truly enveloping sound field, supporting Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, and AURO 3D immersive audio formats. With up to sixteen channels of processing, the receiver enables complex speaker layouts that fully exploit height, surround, and overhead effects.
To ensure this performance translates accurately into real living spaces, the AVA35 includes Dirac Live room correction as standard. This powerful calibration system measures your room and optimizes frequency response and timing for precise, balanced sound.
Optional upgrades to Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment allow even greater refinement, improving bass integration and consistency across multiple listening positions for a truly reference-level experience.
Matrix Channel Assignment and System Flexibility
A defining feature of the Arcam AVA35 AV Receiver is its matrix channel assignment capability, offering an exceptional level of system flexibility. This allows users to freely assign any of the amplified channels to any speaker position, making it possible to tailor the system precisely to individual preferences and room layouts.
For example, channels can be reassigned to support additional height or surround speakers while using external amplification for the main channels. This adaptability makes the AVA35 ideal for evolving systems and advanced installations where customization is essential.
Combined with comprehensive HDMI connectivity, multiple analog and digital inputs, and robust preamp outputs, the AVA35 integrates seamlessly into complex high-performance home cinema environments.
Modern Connectivity and Intuitive Control
The AVA35 offers a wide range of modern connectivity options designed to simplify everyday use while supporting high-quality sources. Built-in streaming includes Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Qobuz Connect, allowing direct playback from popular music services.
Bluetooth with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast ensures high-quality wireless listening and flexible sharing. A large 6.5-inch high-resolution color display provides clear system status and metadata visibility from across the room.
Control is further enhanced by a Bluetooth remote and the Arcam Radia app, which supports setup, configuration, Internet radio, podcasts, and UPnP playback across iOS, Android, and Windows platforms.
Position at the Top of the Radia AV Range
Within Arcam’s Radia AV lineup, the AVA35 AV Receiver sits firmly at the top as the flagship model. It builds upon the foundations of the AVA15 and AVA25 by adding Class G amplification, a more advanced DAC platform, matrix channel assignment, and the highest level of processing capability.
While the AVA15 focuses on accessible performance and the AVA25 balances power with musical refinement, the AVA35 is designed for uncompromising enthusiasts seeking maximum flexibility and sonic authority in a single chassis.
For those wanting even greater separation, Arcam also offers the AVP45 processor and PA9 power amplifier. However, as an all-in-one solution, the AVA35 represents the ultimate expression of Arcam’s AV expertise.
