Scheduled for Decemeber 2009, Arcam launch the AVR500 AV Amplifier.
The AVR500 is based on Arcam’s all new high definition AV platform that was crafted in
Cambridge, UK over three years of intensive research and development. The outstanding
reception already given to the first two products using the platform, the AVR600
Receiver and AV888 Pre-Amp Processor, suggests that the AVR500 will also set new
world standards for audio quality in its price range.
The massive feature set provided by the bigger AVR600 is not required for every home
cinema installation and so the AVR500 is able to preserve the core performance of the
AVR600 by deleting some of the less used connectivity. Removing the network card for
Internet Radio, streaming and IP control capability has reduced construction complexity
and cost. In addition the number of legacy video and audio outputs and multi-room
connections have also been reduced recognising the move in many systems to
predominantly digital connectivity.
The AVR500’s seven-channel amplifier is rated at 100 watts (all channels driven) but its
massive power supply ensures that it can drive even highly demanding loudspeakers
without strain. Being fully equipped for the high definition world the AVR500 decodes all
the latest Dolby and DTS high definition audio standard with phenomenal precision.
The AVR500 offers customers the highest level of Arcam performance and sound quality
at a lower price by reducing the feature set and absolute power output. However, no
compromise has been made in the essential ability of all Arcam AV electronics to produce
a level of sound quality that will bring movies and music to life like no other
manufacturer.
The AVR500 designed and manufactured in the UK and is available in black and silver
finish. RRP £2499
