Arcam AVA15 AV Receiver

The Arcam AVA15 AV Receiver is available for demonstration in our Hull store by request.

The Arcam AVA15 AV Receiver is designed for listeners who demand cinematic immersion without sacrificing musical accuracy. Engineered in Cambridge, UK, the AVA15 represents over three decades of Arcam surround sound expertise, combining audiophile-grade amplification with the latest immersive audio technologies.

High-Power Class D Amplification

Built around high-power ARCAM Class D amplification, the Arcam AVA15 delivers 9 x 100 watts into 8 ohms, providing exceptional control, low distortion, and effortless dynamics. Whether driving compact surround speakers or full-range floorstanders, the AVA15 maintains clarity and composure even during demanding movie soundtracks and high-resolution music playback.

Dolby Atmos & DTS:X Immersive Surround Sound

The Arcam AVA15 AV Receiver fully supports Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®, allowing sound to move freely around and above the listener for a truly three-dimensional experience. With nine channels of onboard amplification, it easily powers 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 speaker layouts, making it ideal for modern immersive home cinema installations.

Precision Object-Based Audio

Precise object-based audio placement ensures dialogue remains clear, effects are accurately positioned, and soundtracks retain scale and realism. From subtle ambient cues to explosive action scenes, the Arcam AVA15 places you firmly at the centre of every performance.

Dirac Live Room Correction

To deliver consistent performance in real-world rooms, the Arcam AVA15 includes Dirac Live® Room Correction. This advanced calibration technology measures your room acoustics and corrects frequency response and timing issues, ensuring balanced, accurate sound at the listening position.

Advanced Room Optimisation Options

For even greater optimisation, the AVA15 can be upgraded with Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment. These upgrades improve low-frequency integration and reduce the impact of problematic room reflections, particularly beneficial in dedicated home cinema environments.

High-Resolution Streaming & Connectivity

The Arcam AVA15 AV Receiver supports Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Qobuz Connect, enabling direct streaming from leading lossless music services without compromising audio quality.

Smart Control & Premium Display

Wireless playback is enhanced with Bluetooth featuring Snapdragon Sound and Auracast, delivering improved resolution and stability. The ARCAM Radia App provides simple setup and intuitive control from iOS, Android, Windows devices, and PCs, while the Bluetooth remote allows reliable operation even when the unit is out of sight. A large 6.5-inch high-resolution colour display ensures clear visibility of system status and metadata from across the room.
