You can also connect to Bluetooth headphones for those more private listening sessions.
Powerhouse performance
With a rated output of 2 x 80w RMS the Arcam A15 will drive the vast majority of speakers with ease, comfortably filling larger spaces with dynamic, life-like sound. This impressive power combined with ultra-low levels of distortion enables the A15 to play at high volume levels for extended periods without sounding harsh or strained.
Vinyl Lover
Re-energise your cherished vinyl collection with the A15, the high-quality built-in phono stage has been carefully designed to extract the absolute most from your record collection and is suitable for turntables with an MM (moving magnet) cartridge.
Versatile connectivity
The A15 makes connecting your external sources simple, a premium built-in DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), enables effortless connection to digital audio sources. Boasting two coaxial and one optical input you can easily connect your TV, games console, music streamer etc. The audiophile ESS DAC ensures the best possible sound quality for any digital source. For connecting more traditional analogue sources like an FM tuner, there are three RCA phono inputs available.
