Arcam A15 Integrated Amplifier

Arcam A15 Integrated Amplifier

Power + Connectivity = Accessible Hi-Fi

The ARCAM A15 is the power house, with 80 Watts of output per channel. It is perfect for listening with tower speakers, in larger rooms, and more exuberant listening volumes.

The "A" in ARCAM stands for Amplification - this is Arcam's core competence. The A15 is the latest in more than 45 years of amplifier design and manufacture. New components and materials have been painstakingly analysed and reviewed to ensure brilliant sound performance.

So you can play music straight out of the box, the ARCAM A15 includes a Bluetooth solution with Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology. This provides up to 24-bit HD audio for the best sound quality from your phone or tablet, no matter what you are playing. It can also connect to Bluetooth headphones so your listening experience can continue sensitively after dark.

Hi-res audio is included with high resolution digital audio inputs included.

Like any ARCAM integrated amplifier, they pay particular attention to the built in phono stage to ensure your records sound as lush and engaging as possible.
