Arcam AVA35 Radia Series 9.1 AV Amplifier Dolby Atmos DTS:X Class-G Dirac Live HDMI 2.1 8K Home Cinema Receiver
The Arcam AVA35 AV Amplifier is designed for serious home cinema enthusiasts who expect cinema-scale impact without sacrificing musical finesse. Built and engineered in Cambridge, UK, this flagship AV amplifier blends immense power with refined control, delivering an immersive, detailed soundstage that brings films, concerts, and games to life.
Using Arcam’s advanced Class-G amplification, the AVA35 produces a warm, natural tone at lower listening levels while unlocking formidable power reserves when dynamics demand it. Whether you’re watching an action blockbuster or enjoying high-resolution music, the result is sound that feels effortless, controlled, and deeply engaging.
Immersive Surround Sound Without Compromise
Supporting a wide range of premium surround formats including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced and AURO-3D, the AVA35 adapts easily to both simple and advanced speaker layouts. With nine channels of built-in amplification, it allows configurations such as 7.1.2 or 5.1.4, delivering convincing height effects and precise surround placement.
For larger systems, the AVA35 goes even further, offering processing for up to 16 channels. By adding external power amplifiers, you can expand to layouts up to 9.1.6, creating a truly cinematic experience suited to dedicated home theatre rooms.
Powerful Class-G Amplification
At the heart of the AVA35 is Arcam’s renowned Class-G amplifier design. The first portion of power operates in pure Class-A, delivering rich midrange detail and smooth, lifelike vocals. When greater output is required, the amplifier seamlessly transitions to high-efficiency amplification, ensuring explosive dynamics without strain or distortion.
With 100 watts per channel (8 ohms, all channels driven), the AVA35 has the authority to drive demanding speakers with ease, filling even large rooms with impactful, controlled sound.
Precision Sound Tailored to Your Room
Every listening space is different, which is why the AVA35 includes Dirac Live Room Correction. Using detailed room measurements, Dirac Live fine-tunes the amplifier’s output to suit your environment, improving clarity, bass control, and overall balance.
For those seeking even greater optimisation, optional upgrades to Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment are available via licence, allowing deeper customisation for complex room acoustics.
Advanced Streaming & Wireless Connectivity
The AVA35 is built for modern listening habits. The Radia App gives intuitive access to internet radio, podcasts, and network music playback, while support for Amazon Music and Qobuz opens up high-quality streaming options.
Wireless connectivity is equally impressive, with Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Qobuz Connect, allowing direct streaming from your favourite apps. Bluetooth 5.4 with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast enables high-quality wireless audio and flexible headphone or speaker sharing without cables.
Built for Cinema, Gaming & Multi-Room Use
Equipped with seven HDMI 2.1a inputs and three HDMI outputs, the AVA35 supports 8K pass-through, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and eARC. Gamers benefit from features such as 4K/120Hz support, VRR and ALLM, ensuring smooth, responsive gameplay on compatible displays.
A dedicated HDMI Zone 2 output allows video and audio playback in a second room, while dual outputs in the main zone make it easy to connect both a TV and projector.
Elegant Design with Intuitive Control
Finished in a sleek black aluminium chassis, the AVA35 reflects the understated styling of the Radia Series. The clean front panel, subtle illumination, and solid volume dial give it a premium feel that suits both modern and traditional interiors.
A Bluetooth remote control ensures reliable operation without line-of-sight, while the large, high-resolution colour display provides clear system information from across the room.
A Reference-Level AV Amplifier
Combining cinematic scale, musical precision, and cutting-edge connectivity, the Arcam AVA35 Radia Series AV Amplifier stands as a benchmark for high-end home cinema systems. It is a powerful, flexible centrepiece built for listeners who want total immersion — without compromise.
