The Radia series is a ground up new design from Arcam with a distinctive new look thats true to their roots of affordable, musical amplifiers. The A5 is the entry point to the Arcam journey and boasts a healthy 50wpc Class A/B amplifier, Digital and Analogue inputs, MM Phono Stage, aptX™Adaptive Bluetooth and wired or wireless headphone listening. Yes, you heard that right, you can pair your Bluetooth headphones to the A5 and listen wirelessly. 

One of the nicest touches of the new design is the rear cowl. Not only does it shield from view  all the connections on the back, it also houses the Bluetooth antennas. 

In typical Arcam fashion, the amplfier is musical and full of control. The Radia series heralds a new dawn and one that will put Arcam back on the 2 channel map.

The ARCAM A5 is for those intimate listening experiences with your favourite music. 

The "A" in ARCAM stands for Amplification - this is our core competance. The A5 is the latest in more than 45 years of amplifier design and manufacture, going back to our first product in 1976 - the A&R Cambridge A60 amplifier. New components and materials have been painstakingly analysed and reviewed to ensure brilliant sound quality.

So you can play music straight out of the box, the ARCAM A5 includes a Bluetooth solution with Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology. This provides up to 24-bit HD audio for the best sound quality from your phone or tablet, no matter what you are playing. It can also connect to Bluetooth headphones so your listening experience can continue sensitively after dark. 

Hi-res audio is included with high resolution digital audio inputs included.

Like any ARCAM integrated amplifier, we pay particular attention to the built in phono stage to ensure your records sound as lush and engaging as possible.
