Description
The ARCAM A5 is designed to provide intimate listening experiences with your favorite music. The “A” in ARCAM stands for amplification, which is our core area of expertise. The A5 is the latest addition to a lineage of over 45 years of amplifier design and manufacturing, dating back to our very first product in 1976, the A&R Cambridge A60 amplifier. New components and materials have been meticulously analyzed and revised to ensure exceptional sound quality.
To allow you to listen to music right out of the box, the ARCAM A5 is equipped with a Bluetooth solution featuring Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology. This provides up to 24-bit HD audio for the best possible sound quality from your phone or tablet, regardless of what you’re playing. It can also connect to Bluetooth headphones, ensuring your listening experience can continue with sensitivity even after dark.
High-resolution audio is included with high-resolution digital audio inputs. As with any ARCAM integrated amplifier, special attention is given to the built-in phono stage to ensure that your records sound as rich and captivating as possible.
