Three Integrated Amplifiers, a CD Player and a High-Resolution Music Streamer, developed to stay true to Arcam’s British heritage, while contemporary design features and affordability aim for younger customers and aficionados alike.
The new series consists of the A5, A15 and A25 integrated amplifiers, the ARCAM CD5 CD player and the ARCAM ST5 high-resolution streamer.
The new product family — meticulously crafted with a unique combination of bold aesthetics and state-of-the-art audio technology — sets new standards for design and sound quality the company says. The Radia Series is the first family of Arcam products designed under the brand’s new industrial design and marketing refresh.
According to the press release, Radia family products offer a subtle symmetrical design that compliments their aluminum shells. They are adorned with seamless front fascias, redesigned knobs, and gentle lighting effects, creating a sense of power and finesse. The products showcase a smooth, matte black surface cut through with the new signature Radia yellow highlights. On the top, ventilation cutouts are masterfully hidden within a pattern of dynamic lines, ensuring a flawless aesthetic. The rear sports a connector cowl, reminiscent of ornate rear diffusers found in performance cars, that effectively hides unsightly connector housings from view. And, to ensure optimal user interaction, the redesigned knobs are elegantly curved, finished in satin black, and textured to mask fingerprints.
Arcam equips the new Radia amplifiers with Bluetooth aptX Adaptive receivers, internal antennas, digital inputs, and Arcam’s signature MM phono stage. The 2x50W A5 and 2x100W A15 Class AB amplifiers include new digital circuitry based on the ESS ES9018 DAC. The 2x100W A25 steps up to a Class G amplifier and the ESS ES9280AQ DAC, in addition to USB-C inputs, LED illuminated highlights, and a seamless OLED display on the front panel.
Sporting an internal Wi-Fi antenna, the ST5 music streamer supports an impressive list of music services, including Amazon Music Unlimited, Qobuz, Internet radio, podcasts, Tidal Connect, and Spotify Connect. In addition, the streamer offers support for Google Chromecast, Apple Airplay2, and Roon. The CD5 CD player offers CD, CD-R, and CD-RW playback; playback from USB mass storage; and support for FLAC, WAV, and MP3 formats. Both the ST5 and CD5 feature an ESS ES9018 DAC and boast 24-bit/192-kHz resolution.
