The Arcam P49 is a high-performance power amplifier that reflects nearly four decades of audio engineering expertise. It employs a Class G amplification topology, capable of delivering 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 400 watts into 4 ohms. The amplifier also features a 50-watt pure Class A operation mode that ensures smooth, high-fidelity sound reproduction. It utilizes a toroidal power supply and acoustically damped chassis to minimize distortion and noise, achieving a distortion level measured at less than one part per million during normal operation. This design provides the control and finesse necessary for authentic musical reproduction. The P49's flexibility allows it to be configured as a traditional stereo amplifier, in bridged mode, or in dual mono mode to suit various system setups. It boasts a range of features, including a phono input configurable for line or MM, an ergonomically designed aluminum control knob, and an onboard power supply for rSeries products.
