The ARCAM AVA25 is an audio-video amplifier for home cinema systems where movie sound, multi-channel music, and streaming are to be combined in one device.

The device was developed in Cambridge, UK, and relies on Class AB amplification, designed for richer and more musical reproduction.

The ARCAM AVA25 directly powers immersive setups such as 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 with its nine integrated amplifier channels.

For larger systems, the AVA25 processes up to 16 channels. Additional channels are integrated via external amplification, for example, for further subwoofers, additional height speakers, or extended surround configurations. This is particularly interesting if a home cinema is not only to be powerful immediately but also to be able to grow specifically later.

The ARCAM AVA25 supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, AURO-3D, and other decoders for multi-channel playback.

This makes it suitable for modern movie soundtracks as well as immersive music formats. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X not only place sounds on a horizontal plane but also include height. AURO-3D adds another possibility for spatial reproduction, provided the source material and speaker setup are compatible.

The ARCAM AVA25 offers HDMI 2.1a with seven inputs and three outputs, including two outputs for Zone 1 and one output for Zone 2.

The HDMI section supports up to 8K/60 Hz or 4K/120 Hz, as well as HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, HDR10+ Gaming, Dolby Vision, and HLG. For game consoles and compatible picture sources, Variable Refresh Rate and Auto Low Latency Mode are also available. Sound can be returned from the TV to the AVA25 via eARC/ARC on Zone 1 Output 1.

The ARCAM AVA25 is comprehensively prepared for network streaming and wireless playback.

Music from various sources can be integrated via the ARCAM Radia Control App and services and standards such as Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, Roon Ready, Apple Airplay, Google Cast, Internet Radio, Podcasts, and UPnP. Hi-res media formats such as FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AIFF, AAC, MP3, and OGG with up to 192 kHz are also supported.

Bluetooth 5.4 is available with A2DP Sink/Source, Snapdragon Sound, AAC, LE Audio, and Auracast. Auracast enables Bluetooth broadcast audio to compatible speakers or headphones. For late-night listening, the AVA25 can also use Bluetooth output to suitable hearing aids, headphones, or speakers.

The ARCAM AVA25 is set up via on-screen menus, the 6.5-inch color display, and the ARCAM Radia Control App.

When first started, the AVA25 guides you through a quick setup routine, including network connection and checking for available software updates. The front shows playback status, input, internet radio presets, as well as audio and basic settings. The included Bluetooth remote control operates the AVA25 even when the device is not directly visible.

Additionally, Dirac Live Room Correction is included and measures the room with the supplied measurement microphone. The extensions Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment are supported but require separate licenses via Dirac. We are happy to assist you with the measurement.

The ARCAM AVA25 is designed for classic hi-fi sources, digital players, HDMI components, and external power amplifiers.

In addition to HDMI, coaxial and optical digital inputs, analog RCA inputs, RCA pre-amplifier outputs, Ethernet, USB-A, RS-232, and trigger connections are available. The Zone 2 function can be used via HDMI and RCA. For installations with additional power amplifiers or active components, the trigger outputs are helpful, as connected devices can be switched on and off synchronously.

The ARCAM AVA25 should be placed on a level, solid surface with good ventilation.

The casing can become hot during prolonged use at high volume. Therefore, do not place the AVA25 in an enclosed compartment without adequate air circulation and do not place any other components on top of the device.

• Nine integrated Class AB amplifier channels for direct 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 setups.

• 16-channel processing for later expansion with external amplification.

• Support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, AURO-3D, MPEG H, and other decoding formats.

• HDMI 2.1a with 8K/60 Hz, 4K/120 Hz, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, VRR, and ALLM.

• Dirac Live Room Correction including measurement microphone in the scope of delivery.

• Extensive streaming support including Roon Ready, Apple Airplay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Qobuz Connect.

• Additional external power amplifiers are required to use all 16 processed channels.

• Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment are supported but require separate Dirac licenses.

• The AVA25 requires well-ventilated placement as it gets warm during operation.

• Bluetooth headphones cannot be used with the Bluetooth input source.

• Home cinema systems with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, or AURO-3D.

• 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 setups that are to be driven directly with the integrated power amplifiers.

• Users who want to expand to up to 16 processed channels later.

• Music and home cinema listeners who want to combine streaming, Roon Ready, Airplay, Google Cast, and classic connections in one device.

• Systems with a TV or projector where HDMI 2.1a, eARC, and modern HDR formats are important.

• Setups where all 16 channels are to be actively amplified without additional power amplifiers.

• Enclosed furniture or tight compartments without sufficient ventilation.

• Customers who absolutely need an integrated AM/FM tuner.

From our perspective, the ARCAM AVA25 is a very coherent AV amplifier for home cinema and music systems that value Class AB amplification, modern HDMI functions, comprehensive streaming, and room correction. It is particularly interesting for customers who currently operate a powerful 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 system and want to keep open the option of a larger 16-channel configuration. It is important to note: external power amplifiers must be planned for the full expansion.
