Design and Architecture
The Arcam Radia AVA15 AV Receiver integrates multi-channel amplification with audio/video processing in a single chassis. Its design focuses on efficient power delivery, flexible signal routing and compatibility with contemporary home cinema components.
A robust enclosure supports heat management and electrical stability for sustained multi-channel operation.
Audio and AV Processing
The AVA15 supports multi-channel audio formats commonly used in home cinema, including discrete surround and object-based audio where applicable. Integrated audio processing handles decoding, bass management and channel distribution for connected speaker configurations.
Video signal routing is managed via HDMI inputs and outputs to support current resolution formats and display connectivity.
Power Amplification
The integrated amplification section is designed to provide power across multiple channels, enabling direct drive of surround loudspeakers without requiring external amplifiers. Balanced and unbalanced inputs facilitate sources from AV processors and line-level devices.
Speaker outputs are configured in a standard home cinema layout to match common surround setups.
Connectivity and Integration
The rear panel of the AVA15 includes multiple HDMI inputs and outputs for video sources, balanced and unbalanced audio inputs, digital audio connections and pre-amplifier outputs where applicable. Control interfaces may include network or IR control options for integration into larger system automation.
This range of connectivity supports flexible installation within modern AV environments.
System Compatibility
The AVA15 is designed to function as the central amplification and routing unit in home theater systems. It can interface with display devices, dedicated AV processors, network sources, disc players and other line-level sources, providing integrated system control over both audio and video domains.
