Arcam AVR11

The AVR11 is a high-performance audio/visual receiver that delivers stunning realism for the ultimate home cinema experience. With native 12-channel decoding of immersive audio from Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, the AVR11 can deliver incredible theatre experiences.

The Arcam AVR11 is designed with a passion for music and movies, bringing both to life with truly high fidelity. The AVR11 features an over-engineered power supply and transformer for real world power with low noise. The 7 channels of Class AB amplification are based upon those in Arcam stereo amplifiers, guaranteeing musicality otherwise not heard from other AV receivers.

The performance and musicality can be accessed immediately with integrated streaming using Apple Airplay2, Google Chromecast, Bluetooth with aptX®HD, Spotify Connect, and UPnP with the MusicLife app.

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X and Auro-3D
With support for the key digital surround sound formats, the AVR11 gives you more choice than ever. For fully immersive sound, Dolby Atmos is standard. Classic DTS:X is on board, as is DTS Virtual:X for 3D sound without all the speakers. Auro-3D, meanwhile, gives you the intensity of immersive, 3D sound, from all formats – including TV, gaming and music – without the need for Dolby or DTS encoding.

Ready for 8K TV and next-gen gaming
Featuring 8K compliant HDMI sockets, this Arcam AVR is ready for the next generation of TV and gaming. The amp passes through 8K/60Hz signals, ensuring you get the full benefit from your 8K TV and video source. The sockets are also compatible with 4K/120Hz signals. You’ll find these on the latest gaming consoles and, when combined with compatible games, they help reduce lag and promote smoother game play.

Supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+
As well as supporting 8K, the AVR11 also supports a wide range of High Dynamic Range video formats. These include Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. It also supports HDR10+, which enhances picture realism by sending dynamic Meta data to your TV. In short, whatever the format used by the film, game or stream, this Arcam supports it.

Still putting sound first
Despite its high level processing support, the AVR11 hasn’t forgotten about sound quality. With a premium, Class A/B amplifier at its heart, the Arcam sounds equally as impressive with music as it does movies. With a true 60 watts per (7) channels, the AVR11 is suitable for use in all but the largest rooms. Punchy and dynamic with action movies but still smooth and refined with music when needed, the Arcam always gets the perfect balance.

Made for High Resolution music – including support for MQA and ROON Ready
More proof that the AVR11 is designed for music lovers comes from the wide range of High Resolution audio format support. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) – as used by TIDAL Masters – is compatible, and the Arcam is also ROON Ready. This status means it’s compatible with the award-winning ROON music player – including Hi-Res file playback.

Your Arcam AVR11 comes Dirac Ready, fully prepared to run Dirac Live, the world’s most advanced room correction software. Dirac Live® is available at an additional cost via the Dirac website: https://www.dirac.com/online-s...

Dirac Live® Bass Control aggregates measurement and location data from a subwoofer and the main speakers to determine how a system’s bass is best reproduced throughout the room.

Be even more immersed
With processing for 7.2.4 channels, you can add a 4-channel power amp (or two stereo power amps) and not only double the ceiling speaker count but also add additional effect speakers – giving total sound immersion. For the best results, match with the Arcam PA410 power amp.

Full networking control
With Ethernet, wi-fi and UPnP, it’s easy to connect to your network and get streaming content. Once connected, you can take advantage of a whole host of streaming options, including Google Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2 and UPnP (Universal Plug ‘n Play). Link to your control app of choice and enjoy streaming music services, Internet Radio, Podcasts and even your stored music collection via the UPnP.

Built-in Chromecast
Featuring Google’s Chromecast, the AVR11 is perfect for music streaming. Working in conjunction with streaming services such as Spotify, Google Play and Deezer, this lets you hook up with your favourite music from your smartphone or tablet. With TuneIn, you also get access to a massive range of Internet radio and podcasts – all easily accessible.

MusicLife control app
Take full control of streaming music to your Arcam device with the MusicLife control app (available on Apple iOS devices, Android UPnP app also available). Working with the wireless system, it lets you stream music directly from your device as well as servers or computers connected via UPnP (Universal Plug n’ Play). The latest version brings Internet Radio, Podcasts plus streaming from TIDAL and Qobuz. Advanced features, such as library searching, sorting, shuffle and repeat playback are also catered for.

High quality Bluetooth aptX HD
Perfect for parties and when friends are over, Bluetooth provides quick and easy, wireless connectivity for your guests’ smartphone. Simply pair the device and stream any audio from the smartphone or tablet. When used with a compatible source, Bluetooth aptX HD delivers premium sound quality that’s the best yet from Bluetooth technology.

Internet, DAB and FM – all the radio you need
Internet radio opens up access to a choice of hundreds of radio stations from around the world. Backing this up, the built-in DAB and FM tuners give wide-ranging access to all your favourite stations, including popular digital only stations, such as BBC 6 Music and 4 Extra.

Connect it all
With seven HDMI inputs and twin outputs, the AVR11 effectively handles the most complex AV systems. The HDMI 2.1 sockets are compatible with HDCP2.3 and eARC, making them suitable for use with the latest TVs and video sources. Six digital and six analogue inputs are ample for a wide range of audio components – such as CD, streamer and pre-amp equipped turntable. There are also optical digital and analogue outputs – ideal for recording or looping sound through the Arcam.
