Arcam A5+ Integrated Amplifier
Description
The ARCAM A5+ is for sharing intimate listening experiences with family and friends.
The “A” in ARCAM stands for amplification, where our expertise lies. The A5+ is the latest in nearly 50 years of amplifier design and manufacture, dating back to our first product in 1976 —the A&R Cambridge A60 amplifier. Since the launch of the award-winning ARCAM Radia A5, we haven’t rested. Our engineering team pushed further to create the ARCAM A5+, an even better sounding and more versatile integrated amplifier.
The A5+ features an enhanced power supply design and cutting-edge wireless capabilities straight out of the box. Snapdragon Sound delivers uncompressed digital audio via Bluetooth, while Auracast enables multiple compatible headphones or speakers to share music wirelessly, with no pairing required.
With a wide array of digital and analogue inputs, including a meticulously tuned phono stage, the A5+ ensures impeccable sound quality for everything from vinyl to streaming.
