Brand: Arcam

The Arcam Alpha 3 is a high-performance integrated amplifier from the British audio manufacturer Arcam. It offers a total output power of 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms, which makes it suitable for driving a wide range of speakers, from sensitive in-ear monitors to high-sensitivity floor-standing models.One of the standout features of the Alpha 3 is its activation of a low-noise, fully discrete, power amplifier stage. This ensures that the music signals are handled with incredible precision and detail, with low distortion and high power output.Another key feature of the Arcam Alpha 3 is its range of digital inputs, including USB (supporting high-resolution audio up to 24bit/192kHz), S/PDIF (1 x RCA and 1 x coaxial BNC), and Toslink (optical) inputs. There is also a MM/MC phono stage, which can accommodate the input of a turntable, as well as standard line-level inputs on RCAs.The Alpha 3's analog and digital signal processing is engineered to maintain the highest possible audio performance, with the introduction of innovative technologies such as Ferrofluid-cooled output devices, known for their near-unlimited lifespan, and low noise, low distortion amplifier circuits.The amp is fitted with a high-quality headphone output with dedicated circuitry for superior audio performance.The Alpha 3 has a full-color display for both input selection and setup menus, which can be controlled using the included handeld remote control. With its exceptional audio quality, extensive connectivity options, and sleek modern design, the Arcam Alpha 3 is an outstanding integrated amplifier for audiophiles looking for a high-performance all-in-one solution.
