What Is Class G Amplification?

Honed to perfection at Arcam from years of testing and implementation by the company's engineers, Class G uses Class A technology exclusively for low-level signals and an additional power supply for larger sections of the audio waveform, an engineering solution that eliminating crossover distortion (caused by Class A/B) and any potential power shortages during extreme swings (suffered by Class A). The result: Truly, the best of both worlds.

Dirac Live Room Correction Technology

Dirac Live is a mixed-phase room correction technology used in cinemas, studios, and luxury cars. With Dirac Live you can easily measure the acoustic characteristics of your loudspeakers and room, and calibrate the sound system to reproduce sound as intended. It corrects not only the frequency response but also the impulse response, a factor critical for accurate staging, clarity, and bass reproduction.
