Arcam AVA35 AV Receiver

The Arcam AVA35 AV Receiver is available for demonstration in our Hull store by request.

The Arcam AVA35 AV Receiver stands as the most advanced home cinema amplifier Arcam has ever produced, engineered for listeners who demand uncompromising performance from both music and movies. Designed and built in Cambridge, UK, the AVA35 combines audiophile-grade amplification with cutting-edge surround sound processing, delivering an experience that rivals high-end separates in a single, elegant chassis. This is not simply an AV receiver – it is a reference-level control centre created for serious enthusiasts who expect realism, scale and emotional engagement from every source.

Class G Power with Audiophile Authority

At the heart of the Arcam AVA35 lies Arcam’s exclusive Class G amplification, a technology revered for its ability to deliver high power with exceptional efficiency and minimal distortion. Unlike conventional Class A/B designs, Class G dynamically adjusts voltage rails in real time, ensuring effortless delivery during demanding passages while maintaining delicacy and musicality at lower listening levels. With nine channels delivering 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, the AVA35 provides authoritative control over a wide range of loudspeakers for both music and cinema.

Immersive Surround Sound Processing – Up to 16 Channels

The Arcam AVA35 AV Receiver supports up to 16 channels of immersive audio processing, creating expansive, three-dimensional soundscapes that fully envelop the listener. Support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced and AURO-3D ensures compatibility with the latest high-resolution movie soundtracks and immersive music formats, delivering a cinematic experience that is both powerful and precisely controlled.

Matrix Channel Assignment & System Flexibility

One of the AVA35’s most advanced features is Matrix Channel Assignment, allowing amplifier channels to be freely reallocated to suit your specific speaker layout. This flexibility enables easy optimisation of performance, seamless integration of external power amplifiers, and future system expansion, making the AVA35 an exceptionally adaptable flagship AV receiver.

Dirac Live Room Correction

To deliver consistent, accurate sound in any listening environment, the Arcam AVA35 includes Dirac Live Room Correction as standard. This advanced calibration technology measures your room’s acoustics and corrects both time and frequency domain issues, significantly improving clarity, imaging and bass control. Optional upgrades are available for Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment.

Advanced Streaming & Connectivity

Designed for modern listening habits, the AVA35 offers seamless integration with leading streaming platforms including Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect and Qobuz Connect. Bluetooth with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast delivers high-quality wireless playback, while the ARCAM Radia App provides intuitive setup, control, internet radio, podcasts and UPnP playback across iOS, Android, Windows devices and PCs.

Designed for Performance, Built for the Future

Every aspect of the Arcam AVA35 reflects Arcam’s obsessive focus on long-term performance and usability. A large 6.5-inch high-resolution colour display provides clear visibility of system status and metadata from across the room, while a Bluetooth remote control ensures reliable operation even without direct line-of-sight. Robust construction and plastic-free packaging complete a design built for longevity and sustainability.
