The A5 stereo integrated amplifier offers outstanding value, providing best in class sound quality, versatile connectivity and sleek, premium styling.
Arcam have been building top quality amplifiers for more than 45 years and it’s clear to see (and hear) that this expertise has been put to great use with the new A5. Arcam’s engineers have spent countless hours analysing and reviewing new components and materials to ensure the best possible performance.
Hi-Res Streaming
The Arcam A5 is more than just a stereo amplifier, it also features Bluetooth with Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology – capable of providing up to 24-bit HD audio when streaming music from your phone or tablet, just add a suitable pair of speakers and you have a ready made Hi-Fi system. You can also connect to Bluetooth headphones for those more private listening sessions.
Generous Power
With a rated output of 2 x 50w RMS the Arcam A5 has sufficient power to drive the vast majority of speakers in a typical living room environment. With ultra-low levels of distortion, the A5 will play happily at high volume levels without sounding harsh or strained.
Vinyl Lover
Re-energise your cherished vinyl collection with the A5, 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 A5 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.
Optional matching source components
Arcam offer the CD5 CD player and ST5 streamer should you wish to expand your system further. Both a perfect match aesthetically and sonically.
