Unlock your AV41: The Arcam AV41 is AV processor without built-in amplification. Pair with the Arcam PA720 power amp and you've instant, high-end, 7-channel cinema sound. Add additional Arcam power amps to give you the precise channel configuration you're looking for. As well as being highly modular, there's a sonic advantage in that all the Arcam products have been developed to complement one another, giving you perfect system synergy throughout the amplification.
Supercharge your Arcam AVR: Taking surround sound to the ultimate level, the AVR21 and AVR31 let you add a PA720 power amp, for sensational 7.1.6 or 9.1.4 surround sound. This gives you seven or nine speakers around the room and four or six in the ceiling – ideal for larger rooms and the most immersive sound around.
Mighty Power for Cinematic Thunder: Packing a meaty 140 watts per channel (100 watts with 7 channels driven), there's power enough for every eventuality. From the largest rooms to the least efficient speakers, the PA720 always has the power to impress. As well as high volume, the power also gives action movies and stadium concerts the dynamics they deserve – making you feel more like you're 'there', at the concert itself.
Innovative Class-G Technology: Arcam's pioneering Class-G amplifier technology gives the PA720 the best possible sound in all circumstances. The first 20 watts of its power is delivered in pure Class-A. Class-A is renowned for a rich, smooth sound that makes instruments and vocals sound incredibly life-like. Once you go beyond this point, efficient digital amplification kicks in – delivering plenty of power without the huge reserves of power and inefficiency that pure Class-A all the way would demand. Sweet and refined yet a beast when unleased – the Arcam PA720 gives you the best of all worlds.
Balanced XLR Inputs: For the highest, studio quality connection, the PA720 features balanced XLR inputs. These not only lock firmly in place but also help resist electrical interference, especially when used over longer distances. They make the perfect connection for the Arcam AV41 which comes equipped with balanced XLR outputs.
Perfect for Installations: A wide range of sockets make this power amp ideal for professional installations. RS232 control, along with 12V in/out triggers make it easy to integrate with the most sophisticated systems. Firmware updating via USB or Ethernet connections also make it possible for installers to keep the amp at its full potential.
