NEW PRODUCT - DiVA AVP700 and P1000
Having established itself as a leader in high performance products, Arcam has been delighted with customer reaction to the DiVA AVR300 and DiVA AVR250 Receivers introduced in 2004. To build on this success the designers were briefed to push the performance envelope even further. It came as no surprise that, as in high-end stereo audio systems, the sonic imropvements from separating the processing and amplification into separate units yielded big gains in clarity, neutrality and dynamics. In addition, a well-designed processor / power amplifier combination offers improvements in electromagnetic performance and current delivery, allowing an even more realistic and enveloping sound full of cinematic drama and musical passion.
The AVP700 builds on Arcam's impressive history and together with it's natural partner the P1000, allows a spectacular multi-channel sound system to be ceated. Drawing heavily on the design work of the world-renowned fmj AV8 Processor, the AVP700 offers the intensive feature set demanded by AV enthusiasts and custom installers alike. Video format upconversion, HDMI switching and full duplex RS232 allow the AVP700 to simplify typical home systems, and integrate into the most complex installs. World-class audio processing within the AVP700 delivers a sound quality that will enthral the most discerning of listeners regardless of the source material or decoding mode required.
When designing power amplifiers for home cinema there are many conflicting requirements. They must be powerful, but run cool. Their sound quality must be consistent accross the range from softest whisper to the loudest explosion. Arcam believes they should excel with both movies and music. With this in mind, the P1000 was designed.
To deliver a clean but dynamic sound field, the P1000 uses seven precisely matched channel modules to ensure consistency of sound from whatever direction it comes. With a rated power of 135wpc into 8 ohms, the P1000 is able to drive and control even the most difficult of speakers and it does this without breaking a sweat. Recognising the need for cool running technology, the P1000 uses an innovative rail switching power supply. All components are specified to audiophile tolerances to ensure the world-class sound quality Arcam customers have come to expect.
