Arcam PA240 Class G Power Amplifier

Arcam PA240 Class G Power Amplifier: Exceptional Power and Flexibility for Audiophiles

The Arcam PA240 is an expertly designed 2-channel power amplifier, delivering 380W per channel of Class G amplification for refined, high-output performance. With its ability to operate in Stereo, Dual Mono, or Bridged mode, the PA240 is adaptable for various audio setups, offering a versatile and powerful solution for those seeking exceptional clarity and dynamic range. The advanced Class G architecture ensures that it achieves the rich, distortion-free sound associated with Class A amplification while maintaining the power efficiency of Class AB.

Unleash High Fidelity Audio with Class G Amplification

The PA240 delivers precise and clean sound at any volume level, thanks to its Class G circuitry with 50W of Class A operation before shifting to Class AB. This design not only provides remarkable efficiency but also maintains audio integrity for an immersive listening experience. The toroidal transformer further enhances performance, supplying clean power and minimizing noise interference.
