Arcam AVR20

The Arcam AVR 20 features 7 channels of power meaning that you can use a pair of up firing or ceiling speakers to create a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos system without the need for an additional amplifier. If you crave for more speakers then the AVR20 has on board processing for up to 16 channels meaning you can achieve a 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos system when you add an external power amplifier.

Every room has its own characteristics that will change the performance of a system. Most AV Receivers include a form of room correction software to counter act these room responses. Arcam have included Dirac which is one of the worlds most highly regarded correction platforms. Using the supplied microphone and a laptop you can take acoustic measurements of your room which are then processed by Dirac and the correction results are passed back to the Arcam AVR. When the calibration has been completed correctly you will achieve a level of clarity and clean bass response that is sure to impress.

Experience 3D audio that completely envelops you in all of your entertainment. Hear the jet booming overhead, the high speed car chase rush past you, and surround yourself in the downpouring thunderstorm from your all favourites with the latest surround formats, including Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X® and IMAX® Enhanced.

Using audiophile grade components, the AVR20 delivers quality to match the power. At the heart of this Arcam AVR is a toroidal power supply. Unusual for an AV receiver, this type of power supply is more usually only found in high-end stereo amps. It helps the AVR deliver smooth, dynamic sound that works equally as well with music as movies.

With multi-channel power up from 60 watts per channel (AVR10) to a mighty 90 watts, the AVR20 delivers smooth, effortless power. Arcam are known for providing real world power outputs rather than the typical peak power at an easily driven frequency that most other manufacturers use. The 50% increase in power not only improves music and soundtrack dynamics but also fills larger rooms more easily. That extra drive comes in handy for less efficient speakers, too.

Stream music to your Arcam device with the MusicLife control app (now available for Android and Apple iOS devices). Working with the wireless system, it lets you stream music directly from your device as well as servers or computers connected via UPnP (Universal Plug n’ Play). The latest version brings Internet Radio, Podcasts plus streaming from TIDAL and Qobuz. Advanced features, such as library searching, sorting, shuffle and repeat playback are also catered for.
