ARCAM A15+ Amplifier + Q3 Meta

Arcam A15+ with KEF Q3 Meta

A powerful mid-tier system with greater depth, control, and room-filling performance for a more immersive listening experience.

Integrated Amplifier with Bluetooth and Auracast

The "A" in ARCAM stands for amplification, where our expertise lies. The A15+ is the latest in nearly 50 years of amplifier design and manufacture, dating back to our first product in 1976 —the A&R Cambridge A60 amplifier. Since the launch of the award-winning ARCAM Radia A15, we haven't rested. Our engineering team pushed further to create the powerful ARCAM A15+, an even better sounding and more versatile integrated amplifier.

The A15+ features an enhanced power supply design and cutting-edge wireless capabilities straight out of the box. Snapdragon Sound delivers uncompressed digital audio via Bluetooth, while Auracast enables multiple compatible headphones or speakers to share music wirelessly, with no pairing required.

With a wide array of analogue inputs, including a meticulously tuned phono stage, and digital inputs including HDMI eARC, the A15+ provides an impact for everything from vinyl to TV.
