The Arcam AVP45 is the definitive hub for uncompromised home cinema performance — a pure 16-channel AV processor engineered in Cambridge, UK, powered by the same high-performance DAC architecture found in ARCAM's flagship stereo hi-fi systems. Every detail, every nuance, every cinematic moment reproduced with breathtaking clarity and precision. Pure Processing — No Compromises Unlike an integrated AV amplifier, the AVP45 dedicates every circuit to signal processing and conversion — with no amplifier stage to introduce noise or compromise. All 16 channels feature both balanced XLR (5V RMS) and single-ended RCA outputs, ensuring pristine signal integrity when connected to external power amplification. Pair with the Arcam PA9 Class G power amplifier for the ultimate Radia system. Full Matrix Channel Assignment — 16 Channels, Total Flexibility The AVP45 offers complete matrix channel assignment across all 16 channels, giving you total freedom to configure the most ambitious speaker layouts imaginable — from conventional 7.1.4 to exotic 9.1.6 and beyond. Subwoofer assignment to channels 4 and 11–16 gives full flexibility for multi-sub configurations. Every Immersive Format Full decoding of Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, DTS HD Master, MPEG-H, IMAX Enhanced, AURO-3D and AURO-2D, with height virtualisation via Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation and DTS Virtual:X.
