{"product_id":"arm-av41","title":"Arcam AV41 Preamplifier\/Processor","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe AV41 is Arcam's statement on what a surround processor should be when the engineering isn't compromised for price. 15.4 channel processing — Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, DTS:X Pro, and Auro-3D handled natively. Dirac Live room correction built in at the full license level, not a stripped version. HDMI 2.1 inputs with 8K\/4K HDR passthrough. Balanced XLR outputs across all 15 channels, because Arcam built this to feed serious amplification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe DAC implementation uses ESS Sabre converters throughout — one per channel, not a shared chip handling multiple outputs. The analog output stage reflects the Cambridge engineering background: quiet, resolved, with the dynamic headroom that separates a real processor from a receiver's preamp section dressed up and sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a component separate, not a receiver. It does one thing: process and route audio at a level that justifies the amplifiers you put downstream. For a system built around multi-channel separates — Arcam's own PA240 blocks, or anything else worth feeding — the AV41 is the correct center of gravity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNo remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(253, 183, 22);\"\u003e$6,999 MSRP\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Arcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47657236693129,"sku":"AV41","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4557\/0185\/files\/Arcam_aaef7f0e-f99d-4831-934a-e93a40343fc0.png?v=1784647104","url":"https:\/\/echohifi.com\/products\/arm-av41","provider":"Echo Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
