Arcam AV40 AV Processor

Description

AV40

Part of the Arcam HDA range, the AV40 boasts the dynamic class G amplification, powering the most complex speakers with ease while delivering great efficiency.

Audiophile listening experiences are optimised with full 16-channel Dirac calibration on board as well as simple streaming with a mobile device using the native app of choice via Apple Airplay2 or Google Chromecast.

Class-G amplifiers (which use “rail switching” to decrease power consumption and increase efficiency) are more efficient than class-AB amplifiers. These amplifiers provide several power rails at different voltages and switch between them as the signal output approaches each level.

This design of amplifier increases efficiency by reducing the wasted power at the output transistors. Class-G amplifiers are more efficient than class AB but less efficient when compared to class D. However, they do not demonstrate the electromagnetic interference effects of class D.

Brand

ARCAM

ARCAM have developed a world-class reputation for making some of the best-sounding AV electronics. Starting with amplifiers over forty years ago, the company moved into CD player technology a decade later, and then pushed further into home cinema electronics.

The brand have now developed their own DVD and Blu-Ray players, engineered using decades of CD experience to ensure they play music as well as they do movies, thus delivering better all-round performance than many other brands.
