The Arcam A5 integrated amplifier has the signature Arcam sound, full-bodied and smooth but with a little more sparkle in the higher frequency range, along with a striking new look and brand new amplification design, we think this budget amplifier is something special. The Arcam A5 has 50 watts of power and is suitable for powering smaller to medium size rooms.
Paired with the award winning PMC Prodigy1 Bookshelf/Standmount Speakers, you will get an outstanding audio experience for small to medium-sized rooms. Drawing from PMC's acclaimed nearfield monitors used in recording and broadcast studios worldwide, the Prodigy1 reveals intricate details, immersing you in the original performance regardless of space limitations.
For those with larger rooms, and want a larger sound with more bass, as well as keeping the budget down, we would recommend the larger PMC prodigy5 package with the Arcam A5.
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 A5 has a lot to live up to.
With its wide range of connectivity, sleek style and richly detailed sound, the Arcam A5 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 A5 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.
Features
- ARCAM Class AB amplification - provides brilliant musicality
- 50W 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 50 watts per channel, the A5 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 A5’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 A5 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.
Inside the Prodigy1
PMC's commitment to delivering natural, uncolored sound is evident in the Prodigy1. The Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading is a cornerstone of PMC's renowned sound quality. ATL intelligently and efficiently utilizes the energy generated by the bass driver, outperforming traditional ported or sealed box designs. The addition of PMC Laminair airflow technology further refines ATL, enhancing clarity, timing, and eliminating unwanted air noise.
A Compact/Bookshelf Speaker
The PMC Prodigy1 Bookshelf/Standmount Speakers exemplify the perfect blend of compact design and robust sound, providing an outstanding audio experience in small to medium-sized rooms. Drawing from PMC's acclaimed nearfield monitors used in recording and broadcast studios worldwide, the Prodigy1 reveals intricate details, immersing you in the original performance regardless of space limitations.
