ARCAM AVR31: Class G 7‑channel AV receiver with HDMI 2.1, 16‑channel decoding, Dirac Live and streaming

The ARCAM AVR31 is a high‑power HDA‑range AV receiver built for listeners who want reference‑level home cinema with a more genuine hi‑fi character. ARCAM designed the HDA series with quality components and careful engineering to deliver years of consistent performance for both movies and music.

The AVR31’s standout combination is native 16‑channel decoding paired with Class G amplification. For immersive cinema it supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro‑3D, enabling highly capable multi‑channel systems with striking realism. On the power side, it features 7 channels of high‑power Class G amplification, derived from ARCAM stereo amplifier designs to preserve musicality and dynamics—something ARCAM highlights as uncommon in AV receivers. For real‑world power with low noise, the AVR31 uses an over‑engineered toroidal transformer.

For room optimisation, the AVR31 includes Dirac Live room correction, a key tool for improving focus, coherence and integration in your room. For advanced bass management with subwoofers, Dirac Live Bass Control is available via an additional license. Connectivity is fully modern with HDMI 2.1, HDCP 2.3, eARC compatibility and support for 8K@60 and 4K@120, plus HDR formats (Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG). Streaming is built‑in with Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Bluetooth aptX HD, Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect, alongside MQA support and Roon Ready certification.
