The A18 represents an ideal introduction to true Hi-fi amplification.
It’s sleek design, flexible connectivity and powerful amplifier
stages deliver a level of reproduction far beyond that of “budget”
separates systems. Using the latest in amplifier technology plus
over thirty years of audio design experience the A18 is an astounding
amplifier, true to Arcam’s tradition of affordable excellence.
Using very high
quality components and carefully designed multi-layer PCBs the
A18 is designed for performance from the ground up. Connectivity
is highly flexible allowing direct connection of seven line level
sources including a dedicated 3.5mm front panel jack socket for
portable music players.
Operation of the
A18 is simplicity itself. A rotary encoder allows precise control
over volume and other selections such as tone controls and balance.
This means delicate audio signals need not travel to and from
the front panel or through potentially noisy mechanical potentiometers
or switches.
The A18s large power supply uses a toroid
transformer which ensures an extremely quiet backdrop to music and
superb stability during large bass transients. The chassis features
a damped “Sound Dead Steel” construction virtually eliminating
mechanical influences on the electronics.
As part of Arcam’s
FMJ line of high performance separates, the A18 is an ideal partner
for the new CD17 CD player and is available in black or silver
finish.
