Class G Amplification
The AVR31 is powered by Arcam's advanced Class G amplification, which is renowned for delivering high power and efficiency while maintaining audiophile-grade sound quality. Unlike traditional amplifiers, Class G switches between power supplies based on demand, allowing it to provide the dynamic power needed for demanding passages while operating efficiently during quieter moments. This results in a powerful, clean, and detailed sound that remains free from distortion, even at high volumes. The AVR31 delivers 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, ensuring it can drive even the most demanding speakers with ease.
Immersive Audio Formats: Dolby Atmos, DTS, and Auro-3D
The AVR31 supports the latest immersive audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, DTS, and Auro-3D. These formats allow for a multi-dimensional sound experience by placing audio objects in a three-dimensional space around the listener. The AVR31 supports up to 9.1.6 or 7.1.4 speaker configurations, providing the flexibility to create an immersive soundstage that envelops you from every direction. This capability makes the AVR31 ideal for home theaters where immersive, lifelike audio is a priority.
Dirac Live Room Correction
Dirac Live is one of the most sophisticated room correction technologies available, and it is integrated into the AVR31 to optimise audio performance in any environment. Dirac Live measures the acoustic characteristics of your room and compensates for any anomalies, such as resonances and reflections, that could degrade sound quality. The result is a more accurate and balanced sound that is tailored specifically to your listening environment, ensuring that your audio experience is as close to the original recording as possible.
High-Resolution Audio and Roon Ready Certification
The AVR31 supports high-resolution audio formats, including FLAC, WAV, and DSD, allowing you to enjoy music with the highest fidelity. The receiver is also Roon Ready, which means it can seamlessly integrate with the Roon music management and streaming platform. Roon offers an unparalleled level of control and quality for music playback, making the AVR31 an excellent choice for audiophiles who demand the best from their digital music libraries.
8K HDMI Connectivity and Future-Proofing
The AVR31 is equipped with 7 HDMI inputs and 3 HDMI outputs, all of which support 8K resolution at 60Hz and 4K resolution at 120Hz. This ensures compatibility with the latest video sources, including next-generation gaming consoles, streaming devices, and Ultra HD Blu-ray players. The HDMI ports also support advanced features such as HDCP 2.3, eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel), and HDR (High Dynamic Range), providing stunning video quality to complement the AVR31’s superior audio performance.
