Product details

ARCAM A5+ brings 50 watts per channel of Class AB amplification to a versatile stereo system. An upgraded power supply supports its analogue and digital sections, with connections for records, digital sources and wireless listening.

Wireless listening and sharing

Bluetooth 5.4 supports Snapdragon Sound and aptX Lossless with compatible sources. Auracast can broadcast audio to multiple compatible headphones or speakers, while a wired headphone output provides another listening option.

Vinyl and digital sources

Three stereo RCA inputs and a moving-magnet phono stage accommodate analogue sources. An ESS ES9018 DAC handles digital playback.

Radia design

A black chassis with yellow accents carries the Radia design language. The supplied remote provides convenient control, and ARCAM uses plastic-free packaging.
