Engineered in Cambridge, UK, the AVP45 is built for systems where maximum flexibility, signal integrity and expandability are essential. Matrix Channel Assignment allows all sixteen processing channels to be configured around the specific speaker and subwoofer layout, while Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, AURO-3D and MPEG-H provide comprehensive immersive-audio support. Dirac Live Room Correction, HDMI 2.1a with 8K/60 and 4K/120, advanced network streaming and ARCAM's Radia AV Control app make the AVP45 equally suited to dedicated theaters, premium media rooms and high-resolution music systems. Highlights & Benefits 16-Channel Immersive Audio Processing — Provides extensive flexibility for large Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, AURO-3D and IMAX Enhanced speaker configurations. Balanced XLR Outputs on All Channels — Sixteen balanced outputs support low-noise, high-integrity connections to external power amplifiers. Matrix Channel Assignment — All processing channels can be reassigned, with designated channels available for subwoofer duties, allowing highly customized system layouts. Dirac Live Room Correction — Advanced room optimization is included, with optional upgrade paths to Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment. HDMI 2.1a with 8K & 4K/120 — Seven high-bandwidth HDMI inputs support current cinema and gaming formats including VRR, ALLM, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and eARC. Technology & Design High-Performance DAC Architecture — The AVP45 uses the same premium digital-to-analog architecture developed for ARCAM's flagship stereo components, emphasizing low noise, detail retrieval and musicality. Fully Balanced Multichannel Output Stage — Sixteen XLR outputs provide a balanced connection option for every processed channel, making the AVP45 a natural partner for ARCAM PA-series power amplifiers and other high-performance external amplification. Matrix Channel Assignment — Processing channels can be reassigned around the system rather than being locked to one fixed speaker layout, giving installers greater flexibility for surround, height, subwoofer and second-zone configurations. Expandable Dirac Platform — Dirac Live Room Correction provides system calibration as standard, while compatible upgrades to Bass Control and Active Room Treatment offer increasingly advanced control over low-frequency behavior and room interaction. FAQ — Arcam AVP45 Does the ARCAM AVP45 include built-in power amplification? No. The AVP45 is a dedicated AV preamplifier/processor and requires external power amplifiers to drive the loudspeakers.
