Hyperstream
The SA45 achieves exceptional sound quality through a new 6-layer digital audio and streaming platform. This design includes a ground plane that eliminates noise and interference, protecting sensitive audio components. The system also features ESS’s latest Hyperstream iV DAC in a balanced configuration, with advanced jitter elimination for pristine sound. The linear toroidal power supply further reduces noise, ensuring efficient performance, while a standby switching supply operates for peak efficiency.
Rich Class G Power
Drawing on decades of innovation, the SA45’s 5th generation Class G amplifier design delivers superior sound quality and dynamics. This amplifier is renowned for being more efficient than traditional Class amplifiers, with components and materials meticulously selected for uncompromised audio performance. This ensures that the SA45 produces dynamic and rich sound, perfect for any audiophile.
Beautiful Screen
The SA45 is equipped with a large 8.8″ high-resolution display, making it easy to view album artwork and metadata.
Your Music, Your Way
It supports a wide range of devices and streaming services, including Apple Airplay, Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Roon. Easy to set up via Wi-Fi with the ARCAM Radia App, the system also offers compatibility with Amazon Music, Qobuz, and global internet radio. With Dirac Live Room Correction and subwoofer outputs, the SA45 is adaptable to any room and speaker configuration, ensuring an immersive audio experience.
Superior KEF sound
A bespoke 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT is found in all seven models of the R Series and delivers an incredibly detailed performance. It’s the result of decades of accumulated in-house knowledge and the application of cutting-edge simulation and analysis tools. The developments are many and all play a part in R Series’ exceptional performance.
The result is an exceptional seven-model range of loudspeakers, engineered to deliver with exquisite detail and incredible insight. Whether your taste lies with traditional two-channel HiFi, multi-channel home theatre or both, the R Series reveals levels of detail that must be heard to be believed.
Deep, agile bass
Bass is a vital element of performance, and the low-frequency drivers of R Series have been engineered with acute care and precision. They are built using a two-part structure, where a shallow concave aluminium skin sits atop a paper cone. This stiffness combined with the cone’s unique geometry reduces unwanted resonances and delivers the pistonic movement that makes these drivers time so well. The drivers’ magnet system creates a broad, uniform magnetic field, while the suspension reduces harmonic distortion for a clean, precise sound. The result is exceptionally deep and agile bass that reveals every last bit of detail and punch available in the deep.
