In recent years the Arcam AV receiver range has captured the
imagination of a whole new generation of movie and music enthusiasts.
For the first time these products successfully bridged
the gap between stereo music systems and multi-channel receivers
delivering the perfect balance between performance and features.
Building on this success, Arcam introduces the AVR350, the
company's highest performing receiver to date.
At its heart the AVR350 is a high performance 7.1 channel home
cinema and music receiver. Offering sound quality far beyond that
of ordinary mass market products, the AVR350 will thrill even
the most discerning listeners. Arcam has long delivered innovative
features in its products and has been a front runner in the adoption
of the HDMI interface standard. The AVR350 continues these traditions
adopting two-way HDMI switching for automatic selection of digital
video source.
Audio performance is outstanding with digital or analogue inputs
presenting an immersive listening experience from any source.
The pre amp stage features ultra high performance OP2134 op amps
from Burr Brown in circuits taken from the company's range topping
AVP700 pre-amp/processor. In addition, much use has been made
of Arcam's "Mask of Silence" technologies including
the Stealth Mat previously only seen in its high end FMJ components.
Embracing a full complement of decoding standards the AVR350
processes Dolby Digital EX, DTS ES, DTS24/96 and the very latest
Dolby Pro Logic IN algorithms. All video switching is HDTV compatible
and analogue video stages include up-conversion from composite
or s-video to component or RGB to minimize the number of cable
runs to a display.
Featuring ultra-low distortion power-amps, the AVR350 drives
seven 8 ohm speakers with a continuous 100wpc. A direct signal
path for stereo and 7.1 multi-channel analogue inputs is included,
plus preamplifier outputs for use with external power amplifiers.
For second rooms, zone 2 outputs feed stereo line level audio
and composite video independently from the main room. In addition
two-way RS232 and IR control are built in as standard allowing
future system software updates.
