The design of the HDA range draws upon all of Arcam’s experience as one of the UK’s most respected audio companies, to produce Arcam’s best performing range of audio products yet – using the best quality components and engineering practices, the HDA range is designed and built to give you years of listening enjoyment.

As an expert in producing amplifiers, its technical philosophy is different from most of the other manufacturers.
Arcam incorporates high-efficiency Class G amplification technology that draws attention in the home theater market which emphasizes high dynamics.

The PA240 is a high-performance power amplifier that delivers 2 channels of efficient Class G amplification. With an impressive 380W per channel, the PA240 is designed to offer the greatest flexibility and power without compromising on control.

Class G amplification is a variant design of Class AB.
More efficient and ideal than Class AB, making best use of every bit of the amplifier’s power supply.

Exceptional Power, Immersive Sound

Featuring the best-in-class components including a toroidal based power supply, acoustically damped chassis, paralleled transistor output stages and exceptionally low levels of distortion, the PA240 masters the reproduction of music with all its originality and detail for an unmatched level of sound quality and clarity.

3-dimensional circuitry structure.
Current comes in and passes through the power supply board which is connected to the custom toroidal transformer by Noratel, that is as thick as the chassis height.

Two pairs of filter capacitors of low voltage (50V-22000uF) and high voltage (80V-10000uF)

The largest area at the bottom of the chassis sits the Class G power amplifier circuitry, where it adapts a split design, uses 6 pairs of power MOSFETs of 5-pin crystals that provides stable output quality.

Rich features for a stereo power amplifier.
*Accepts balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs
*Stereo, bridge (mono), Dual Mono (bi-amp) modes to choose from
*Gain select of 31dB and 25dB, to match the speakers accordingly.

Other than high-thrust, large dynamic sonic characteristics, PA240’s Class G amplification is worthy of expectations in terms of musicality.

“Neutral sounding yet not tasteless, it’s warm, mellow, without losing resolution that one can feel the PA240 has excellent control.
It clearly expresses the sonic character of the pre-amp, brings a better sense of speed of it, with subtle performance dynamics.
Sounding detailed, with soft highs extension, rich and full harmonics, showing a direct yet invisible string friction and dazzling luster.”

“Vocal seemed particularly neutral without exaggeration, stable and supple, it’s just right, natural sounding, closer to the listener’s sense of intimacy, extremely delicate.”

“PA240 has warm sound base, quiet music background and free of impurities, extremely 3D sense of positioning.
Faithfully reproduce the “original flavor” of music, allowing people to comfortably integrate into the live music atmosphere.”

“If you are looking for a power amplifier that is comfortable, durable and has no aggressive sound, this Class G amp is a good piece that can stay with you for long time.”
