Exceptional Performance with Elegant Design
The Arcam integrated amplifier A15 has the signature Arcam sound. Like the more affordable A5, the A15 retains the signature Arcam sound; it is full-bodied and smooth but delivers greater clarity of sound with more power, scale, and precision. Boasting 60% more power than the A5 model, Arcam’s A15 takes music dynamics to the next level
When paired with the award-winning KEF R3 META bookshelf speakers, the Arcam A15 extra power and control throughout the volume range takes the KEF R3 META to the next level offering more precise sound with robust and controlled bass, crystal-clear highs, fantastic separation. The already impeccable stereo imaging becomes even more defined and further widens the "sweet spot", making them perfect for small to medium-sized spaces.
The ideal amp for all your music
With a heritage that stretches back to 1976, Arcam’s amplifiers have always been amongst the best in their class for balancing sound with features.
It was way back in the mid 1970s when Doug Brady showcased the first amplifier from Arcam (A&R Cambridge as the company was called then) the A60 which featured in many of our magazine adverts. Since then Arcam has produced many well regarded amplifiers, so the new Arcam A15 has a lot to live up to.
With its wide range of connectivity, sleek style and richly detailed sound, the Arcam A15 continues this success story. From a turntable to a TV and even taking in your smartphone via Bluetooth HD, this Arcam plays it all.
Perfectly balanced sound
Painstakingly developed, the Arcam A15 features a highly optimised Class AB amplifier. With new components and materials, the sound quality is cleaner and more precise, while still retaining the smooth and richly detailed sonic signature that has made Arcam so popular over the past decades. As well as delivering more power than the A5 model, the A15 also produces lower distortion, giving you a more natural and true-to-life sound.
Features
- ARCAM Class AB amplification - provides brilliant musicality
- 80W per channel (8 ohms) - powers loudspeakers with ease
- Bluetooth with aptX™Adaptive Technology - for the best sound with the most convenience
- Specially selected components and materials - to deliver on sound quality
- Wired or Wireless Headphones - connect your headphones for quiet listening with, or without wires
- All new Radia design - Purposeful yet playful
- MM phono stage - ready for Turntables
- Hi-Res Digital Audio Inputs
- Plastic Free Packaging - for easy disposal of natural materials
Ample power
Outputting 80 watts per channel, the A15 has ample power to drive most speakers in a typical living room environment. With vanishingly low levels of distortion, it maintains higher volume levels without sounding strained or harsh.
A treat for your turntable
Much more than just a box-ticking exercise, the Arcam A15’s built-in phono stage makes a top quality connection for your turntable. Suited to turntables with MM (Moving Magnet) cartridges, the high spec phono stage draws a deep seam of information from your vinyl, letting you hear subtle details from the music that might previously have been missed.
Stream from your smartphone in Hi-Res audio
For simple yet high quality music streaming, the A15 features Bluetooth with Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology. When used with a compatible source device such as tablets, phones or PC, this delivers up to 24-bit Hi-Res music streaming, giving you better than CD-quality, from a wireless connection.
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.
