Arcam AVR21 9.1.6 Multi-Channel AV Receiver, Grey

Absolute sonic realism with the Arcam AVR21 receiver

The Arcam AVR21 is a high-end audio/video receiver that combines power, precision and realism to deliver a superior home cinema experience. Designed to handle up to 16 channels and compatible with the most advanced audio formats — Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro 3D — it guarantees complete and three-dimensional sound immersion.

Impeccable construction: the excellence of the AVR series

The AVR21 is born from Arcam's historic audiophile philosophy, always oriented towards realism, high fidelity and dynamics.

Every detail has been carefully considered: the oversized toroidal transformer ensures extremely low background noise, while the 7 Class AB channels based on Arcam's proprietary technology offer a musicality and natural timbre that are difficult to find in products in the same category.

All this is completed by Dual ESS 9026PRO digital-to-analog converters, guaranteeing top-level signal processing.

Next-generation HDMI

Equipped with HDMI 2.1 ports with HDCP 2.3, the Arcam AVR21 supports video up to 8K at 60fps and 4K at 120fps, delivering ultra-smooth images and a stunning gaming experience.

Advanced acoustic calibration with Dirac Live

For optimum performance in any environment, the Arcam AVR21 integrates the Dirac Live calibration system in its free basic version.

With our Professional Calibration Service, you can also rely on specialist measurement tools and technical expertise to extend the correction to low frequencies.

Complete connectivity for a world of content

The Arcam AVR21 offers maximum versatility, integrating all the major streaming and connectivity platforms:

Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Bluetooth aptX HD, Spotify Connect, UPnP and Tidal Connect.

Whatever the source, the music and entertainment is always at your fingertips.
