Arcam A15 + PMC prodigy1 + Chord C-screenX Cables
The A15 sits between the A5 and A25 in the Arcam Radia range, offering 60% more power than the A5 it is well suited to larger rooms and for pairing with larger floor standing or less sensitive speakers.
Arcam have been building top quality amplifiers for more than 45 years and it’s clear to see (and hear) that this expertise has been put to great use in the new A15. Arcam’s engineers have spent countless hours analysing and reviewing new components and materials to ensure the best possible performance – the result is an amplifier that offers best in class sound quality, versatile connectivity and sleek, premium styling.
Hi-Res Streaming
The Arcam A15 is more than just a stereo amplifier, it also features Bluetooth with Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology – capable of providing up to 24-bit HD audio when streaming music from your phone or tablet, just add a suitable pair of speakers and you have a ready made Hi-Fi system. You can also connect to Bluetooth headphones for those more private listening sessions.
Powerhouse performance
With a rated output of 2 x 80w RMS the Arcam A15 will drive the vast majority of speakers with ease, comfortably filling larger spaces with dynamic, life-like sound. This impressive power combined with ultra-low levels of distortion enables the A15 to play at high volume levels for extended periods without sounding harsh or strained.
Vinyl Lover
Re-energise your cherished vinyl collection with the A15, the high-quality built-in phono stage has been carefully designed to extract the absolute most from your record collection and is suitable for turntables with an MM (moving magnet) cartridge.
Versatile connectivity
The A15 makes connecting your external sources simple, a premium built-in DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), enables effortless connection to digital audio sources. Boasting two coaxial and one optical input you can easily connect your TV, games console, music streamer etc. The audiophile ESS DAC ensures the best possible sound quality for any digital source. For connecting more traditional analogue sources like an FM tuner, there are three RCA phono inputs available.
Sleek style & premium build quality
The Arcam A15 boasts a sleek, attractive design without distracting from the sound. The all-aluminium casing and satin black finish with subtle yellow accents give a high-quality look and feel. A compact remote control is also included.
Optional matching source components
Arcam offer the CD5 CD player and ST5 streamer should you wish to expand your system further. Both a perfect match aesthetically and sonically.
PMC prodigy1 Compact Bookshelf Speakers
With the prodigy range, PMC have introduced their performance-led design ethos to a more affordable price point whilst maintaining the outstanding sound quality that they are known for. The compact Prodigy1 bookshelf/standmount model delivers staggering clarity and depth of bass seemingly beyond its size, thanks to PMC’s ATL technology – just one of the innovative technologies packed into these speakers, as with all PMC designs.
With its diminutive size the prodigy1 speaker is ideal for small to medium-sized rooms, yet still fully capable of producing a rich, dynamic sound.
It’s easy to see and hear that the prodigy1 is closely related to PMC’s compact nearfield monitors, a reference in recording and broadcast facilities worldwide: the prodigy1 is more than capable of resolving detail that puts you in touch with the original performance.
The sweet, open top end and natural midrange brings you vivid vocals and instrumental timbres, with a wide, focused soundstage and nimble, cohesive presentation to draw you into the music and make you smile. And small though the speaker may be, it still contains a full-size Advanced Transmission Line along with Laminair technology, that delivers deep, fast, hard-hitting bass.
The smooth silk black finish will suit any room, with optional sculpted grilles available if required.
Package includes a Free 3m pair of pre-terminated Chord C-screenX speaker cables (see below)
