Pure Processing — No Compromises
Unlike an integrated AV amplifier, the AVP45 dedicates every circuit to signal processing and conversion — with no amplifier stage to introduce noise or compromise. All 16 channels feature both balanced XLR (5V RMS) and single-ended RCA outputs, ensuring pristine signal integrity when connected to external power amplification. Pair with the Arcam PA9 Class G power amplifier for the ultimate Radia system.
Full Matrix Channel Assignment — 16 Channels, Total Flexibility
The AVP45 offers complete matrix channel assignment across all 16 channels, giving you total freedom to configure the most ambitious speaker layouts imaginable — from conventional 7.1.4 to exotic 9.1.6 and beyond. Subwoofer assignment to channels 4 and 11–16 gives full flexibility for multi-sub configurations.
Every Immersive Format
Full decoding of Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, DTS HD Master, MPEG-H, IMAX Enhanced, AURO-3D and AURO-2D, with height virtualisation via Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation and DTS Virtual:X.
Dirac Live Room Correction
Included Dirac Live with measurement microphone — upgrade with optional Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment for reference-level acoustic precision across all channels.
HDMI 2.1a — 8K, 4K/120Hz & Multi-Zone
Seven HDMI 2.1a inputs and three outputs (HDCP 2.3) — two Zone 1, one Zone 2 — with VRR, ALLM, eARC, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG. Resolutions up to 8K/60Hz or 4K/120Hz.
