Hyperstream

At the heart of the SA35 is a 6-layer digital audio platform that minimises noise and interference through a ground plane across the entire board. This platform includes the latest Hyperstream iV DAC from ESS, providing balanced audio with advanced jitter reduction. A new linear toroidal transformer further improves sound quality, while a switching power supply ensures efficiency in standby mode, contributing to the system’s lower overall noise levels.

Class G

Arcam’s renowned Class G amplifier design is further refined in the SA35. This fifth-generation Class G amplifier ensures superior sound dynamics and efficiency, surpassing the performance of other amplifier classes. Every component has been meticulously selected to guarantee the best possible audio experience, resulting in an amplifier that blends precision with power.

With Wi-Fi connectivity and Dirac Live Room Correction, the SA35 offers flexibility, allowing you to tailor the sound to your space and speaker setup.

Bowers & Wilkins 705 S3

Housed in new cabinet with a curved front which not only adds to the new premium high end look and feel, the curved front also enables the speaker drivers to slightly protrude from the cabinet, this ensures minimal interference from sound reflecting off the cabinet, the result minimises distortion and a more open soundstage. On the back the speaker connections have also been upgraded similar to those used on the 805 D4 Diamond.

Enhanced by technologies trickled down from Bowers & Wilkins reference 800 D4 Diamond Series as well as some bespoke engineering innovations, this new range looks set to be very special. So far we are LOVING what we're hearing.
 
705 S3’s Carbon Dome tweeter is housed in a Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top enclosure evolved from the latest generation of 800 Series Diamond. That joins a new and subtly curved baffle endowed with an all-new ‘pod’ housing for its Continuum Cone bass/midrange driver.

Experience the detail

This uncompromising two-way speaker reveals subtle nuances in music others miss. Its high-performance features include a solid body Tweeter-on-Top design borrowed from the 800 Series Diamond.

A house for high frequencies

The 700 Series features the latest generation of iconic Solid Body Tweeter-on-Top housing. Its new, more elongated form incorporates a longer tube-loading system to produce an even more free and open sound with high frequencies. The carefully decoupled housing is milled from a single solid block of aluminium to better resist resonance.
 

Sharper detail

Carbon Dome tweeters are purpose-built for the 700 Series. Delivering a dramatic improvement on the aluminium double dome tweeter, they raise the breakup threshold to 47kHz, for pinpoint imaging accuracy and detail.

Truly amazing sound

Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum™ cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behavior that can impair the performance of a conventional drive unit. The result is a more open, neutral performance that delivers voices and instruments with precision and transparency.
