Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)

    • High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)
    • Number of Audio Zones: 2 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
    • Number of Audio Zone Source Outputs: 2 (Multiple source outputs from the receiver mean different speakers are able to receive different sound sources from the receiver or preamp/processor. For every output, a different sound source can be accessed simultaneously in different zones. For example, two source outputs could be a streaming media player in one room and a Blu-ray player in another.)
    • Surround Sound Supported: Dolby Digital, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, Auro 3D (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener.

    Great surround and music

    This unit is truly hi-fi for music as well as surround. The internal amps are powerful enough to drive the most demanding speakers. If you’re looking for an upgrade for both music and movies Arcam gives you both.

    Arcam AVR31 - Feels Like You’re Inside the Movie

    The Arcam AVR31 produces amazing sound quality with its G Class amplification, it produces details I never heard with my previous Denon 4800XH avr. The immersive and crystal clear audio makes you feel like you’re inside the movie. Make sure Dirac is used for the calibration, as it improves the soundstage and bass a lot. Overall, it’s the best AVR I’ve ever tried

    Outstanding

    The best you can get. Absolute pristine two channel music and clarity in movies. Pricey but that what you pay for premium. This is a high end audiophile receiver. Not the most user friendly like Marantz/ Denon etc. but if you prioritize sound quality, this thing is a beast!
