What Is Class G Amplification?
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).

Equally at home with high-resolution surround sound or two-channel music, it delivers stunning realism with everything from heavy-weight blockbusters to your concert videos. Together with Arcam's legendary amplifier technology, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X deliver captivating sound that places and moves audio anywhere in the room, including overhead, to bring entertainment alive all around the audience.
