Includes: Preamplifier/Processor Printed Instruction Manual 3-BT/WIFI Antennas Remote Control AC Power Cable Build the surround sound system of your dreams A good home theater system is a feast for the eyes and ears. If you're looking to go all-out and get the most accurate, immersive sound, you'll need components that possess serious processing power. Arcam's new AV41 has all the audio and video processing one's home theater could ever need. This potent home theater preamplifier boasts an incredible 16 channels of output, advanced surround sound decoding, plus balanced and unbalanced outputs for connecting amplifiers. Why use a separate preamp/processor? Traditional home theater receivers are all-in-one solutions. Typically, the amplifier and preamp sections can't be upgraded, meaning you have to buy a whole new receiver to get the latest and greatest features. Separates like this Arcam, on the other hand, let you swap out only what you need to. If you have an amplifier you adore and you'd hate to get rid of, you can upgrade your preamp without replacing anything else. There's also the wide open system flexibility and sheer performance that separates provide. The AV41 has sixteen independent audio outputs to work with, plus two subwoofer outputs. And you aren't limited to just unbalanced RCA connections, either; this bad boy has balanced XLR outs too. You can go pedal-to-the-metal and run a 9.2.6 system right out the gate, or you can start small and expand later down the line. Immersive sound and video The AV41 brings enveloping cinematic experiences into your living room. It supports an incredible 16 channels of decoding for object-based sound formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and AURO-3D. This preamp does a phenomenal job of reproducing sounds in their exact intended positions. There are seven HDMI inputs on the rear panel, and all support 8K at 60 frames per second and 4K at 120 frames per second. There are also three HDMI outputs, including an eARC output for your TV and a zone 2 output for feeding signal to a separate display. Reference quality digital-to-analog converters This pre/pro has your sound quality covered on the music side of things as well. There are two reference ESS Sabre ESS9026PRO audiophile-grade DACs inside that tastefully unveil the detail and nuance in your music. Each DAC has its own reference ESS voltage regulator, which drastically improves how each chip handles the incoming audio signal. Streaming albums made easy The AV41 offers plenty of ways to get your music going. It supports streaming through Apple AirPlay® 2, Google Chromecast, Bluetooth®, Spotify Connect®, and TIDAL Connect. It supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) too, which lets you access high-res files stored on your home network. You can select streaming sources through the free MusicLife app (available on Android™ and iOS®). The app also lets you use your phone as a Wi-Fi remote control.

Using the unbalanced RCA outputs, you can configure up to a 9.2.6ch surround system. Note: The Arcam AV41 is an AV preamplfier/processor and does not have a built-in amplifier. Separate amplifier or amplifiers will be required to power your loudspeakers. Dirac Live Room Correction: There is a proprietary automatic loudspeaker setup function, known as Dirac Live, built into the Arcam AV41. Using a computer application (for Windows & Mac), Dirac Live attempts to set all the essential speaker settings for all the speakers in your system. It also calculates room equalization (Room EQ) filter values to remove some of the worst effects of resonant frequencies in the listening room. The AV preamplifier/processor comes with a calibration microphone which should be inserted into the microphone input of the supplied USB sound card and then into a USB socket on a Windows PC or Mac computer that connected to the same network as the Arcam AV preamplifier/processor and positioned at the main listening position. This microphone picks up the special calibration tones generated by the speakers when Dirac Live is run. The AV preamplifier/processor then analyses the signal and computes - Speaker Type, Speaker Distance, Speaker Level, and Room EQ. You can store up to 3 Dirac Live EQ curves. To download the Dirac Live for Arcam application (for Windows & Mac), please visit www.arcam.co.uk. The Arcam AV41 model comes with Dirac Live Room Correction Full Bandwidth installed, but you can go a step further and improve your connected powered subwoofers with Dirac Live Bass Control (Liscense sold separatey). You can also choose to manually enter Speaker Sizes, Speaker Distances, and Speaker Levels. Dual ESS 9026PRO Audiophile DACs: The Arcam AV41 AV preamplifier/processor utilizes two ESS 9026PRO DACs (digital-to-analog converter) with ESS reference voltage regulators that support up to 24-bit/192kHz multichannel audio for audiophile-grade sound quality. It supports a variety of high-resolution and multichannel audio formats and codecs - including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, DSD, and MQA. Compatible Digital Audio Formats: The Arcam AV preamplifier/processor supports the following stereo & multichannel digital audio formats through its HDMI jacks and optical/coax digital inputs. Digital Audio ConnectorAudio Signal TypeAudio Signal Format HDMI (7 Inputs/3 Outputs)High Definition Audio BitstreamDolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD DTS:X, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution BitstreamDolby Digital, DTS, DTS ES, DTS 96/24 PCM2ch to 8ch (32-192kHz, 16/20/24-bit) Optical/Coaxial (2 Optical Inputs/4 Coaxial Inputs)BitstreamDolby Digital, DTS, DTS ES, DTS 96/24 PCM2ch to 6ch, (32-96kHz, 16/20/24-bit) Dolby Atmos: Dolby Atmos surround sound technology dispenses with channel-based coding in favor of more advanced object-based coding, giving the soundtrack designer the ability to precisely place sounds anywhere in the 3-dimensional space. Dolby Atmos creates powerful, immersive audio with sound that comes from all directions (including overhead) to fill your home cinema with astonishing clarity, richness, detail, and depth. Dolby Atmos brings to life a movie's soundtrack with sound that flows all around you in three-dimensional space to completely immerse you in the action, heightening your cinematic experience. The AV41 also allows you to upmix 2ch and Dolby Digital soundtracks with Dolby Surround, as well as create virtual height effects using Dolby Virtual Height mode. Dolby Surround: Dolby Surround offers an enhanced cinema experience to your 2ch or multichannel movie soundtracks using your existing 5.1ch, 7.1ch, or Dolby Atmos speaker setup. Dolby Surround enhances audio definition by improving the spatial dimension and overall audio definition of movie soundtracks. It does this by using four distinct surround zones that provide greater control over the exact placement of each detail in a movie sound track, so audio can be matched more accurately to the video on screen; this means more depth and greater realism for your movies. As a result, individual sounds are clearer and more distinct. It also improves the surround sound experience across the entire theater by widening the listening sweet spot. Dolby Virtual Height: Dolby Virtual Height provides immersive audio without height-channel or overhead speakers, creating virtual height effects in a 5.1ch, 7.1ch or even 2.1ch speaker arrangement. Dolby Virtual Height applies carefully designed height-cue filters to the overhead audio components of your content's soundtrack before they are mixed into your loudspeakers to create the sensation of sound above you. DTS:X: DTS:X features object-based audio coding that lets the soundtrack designer place sonic elements anywhere in the 3D acoustic soundspace, and provides for overhead speakers to deliver a stunning surround sound experience. DTS:X places sound in a movie soundtrack where it would occur naturally in space, creating a truly lifelike, multi-dimensional audio experience. DTS:X replicates a real-world sound environment that transports you (the audience) into a new dimension of sound immersion by delivering a truly captivating home cinema experience. The AV41 also allows you to upmix 2ch and DTS soundtracks with DtS Neural:x, as well as creat virtual height effects using DTS Virtual:X mode. DTS Neural:X: DTS Neural:X is an advanced spatial remapping technology from DTS, which provides a fully immersive output for all types of source content; this includes DTS bitstreams and non-encoded (PCM) data. DTS Neural:X delivers a thrilling sense of immersive sound to your speaker layout regardless of the original source format. DTS Virtual:X: DTS Virtual:X bridges the gap between DTS:X and the reality of so many consumers' homes that cannot accommodate overhead speakers, allowing you to enjoy multi-dimensional sound regardless of room size, layout, or speaker configuration. DTS Virtual:X can be used with any content (from 2ch to 7.1.4ch soundtracks), while delivering virtual height & virtual surround processing based on psychoacoustics (not reflective surfaces). AURO-3D Audio: The Arcam AV41 preamplifier/processor is equipped with an Auro-3D decoder. With Auro-3D, Front Height, Surround Height and Top Surround are added to a conventional 5.1-channel system to achieve a natural and realistic soundfield that is three-dimensional and fully immersive. You will be able to fully enjoy Auro-3D playback if you properly place the speakers for Auro-3D. Auro-3D does not support a Dolby Atmos configuration using Top Front, Top Middle, Top Rear, or any Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers. But it is possible to support both an Auro-3D and Dolby Atmos by adding Front Height and Rear Height speakers to a 5.1 configuration. For an optimum Auro-3D experience Surround Height speakers are strongly recommended. IMAX Enhanced Technology: Get the most premium at-home entertainment experience with IMAX Enhanced; the latest technology program from IMAX that sets a new standard for image, sound, scale and content quality. This new certification and licensing program combines IMAX digitally re-mastered 4K HDR content and DTS audio technologies to offer a new level of quality in immersive sight and sound experiences in the home. IMAX Enhanced lets you experience premium content digitally remastered by IMAX, so you can watch the highest-quality 4K movies with immersive audio delivered by DTS. Not only will IMAX Enhanced content look and sound amazing, but other audio/video content will also look and sound great too. Remastered 4K/HDR Video: It utilizes a sophisticated, advanced algorithm designed to produce the highest-quality, sharpest 4K HDR images. This advanced process accurately reduces noise and grain under the filmmaker's guidance to best optimize the content for a much higher quality, higher brightness 4K HDR display format. Select IMAX Enhanced titles that were shot with IMAX cameras or specially formatted for IMAX theaters will also include an expanded aspect ratio for the film's home release to show you more picture on your TV. IMAX Enhanced certified TVs must be at least 65 with support for HDR10 and dynamic, as well as specific calibration, resolution, color, brightness, contrast, and scale of image capabilities. Remastered DTS:X Audio: IMAX and DTS will also partner with award-winning Hollywood sound mixers to use a special variant of its DTS:X codec technology integrated in home audio equipment to deliver an IMAX signature sound experience that is dynamic, immersive, theatrical, and powerful. IMAX Enhanced supports both 5.1 and 11.1 formats, but the recommended speaker layout for an IMAX Enhanced system is 7.2.4 with seven horizontal speakers, two subwoofers and four height speakers; 5.1.4 is the minimum layout for IMAX Enhanced. However, due to various constraints you may opt to install only a 5.1ch speaker system. In such cases, DTS Virtual:X is required to properly render and remap audio to the available speakers. Available IMAX Content: IMAX is working with its global studio and other content partners to build a steady stream of IMAX Enhanced versions of movies and other programming using the newest, proprietary post-production process developed by IMAX. IMAX will be announcing and releasing IMAX Enhanced versions of a wide range of films both for 4K/HDR streaming and Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs. Notes: To take full advantage of IMAX Enhanced, you need an IMAX Enhanced certified 4K/HDR TV (65-up) or Projector and an IMAX Enhanced certified DTS:X enabled AV preamplifier/processor or soundbar. IMAX and DTS developed the IMAX Enhanced program out of their decades of combined expertise in image and sound science to make it easier for consumers to select the products and content that will deliver the highest-quality, sharpest 4K HDR images and powerful, immersive sound at home. To qualify and carry the IMAX Enhanced logo, the highest-end TVs, AV preamplifier/processors, projectors, sound bars, and must meet stringent performance standards established by IMAX, DTS and Hollywood's leading colorists in order to create a consistent and higher bar for image and sound performance on premium devices. Master Quality Authenticated (MQA): The Arcam AV41 will playback and decodes MQA content from UPnP network audio sources. Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) is a revolutionary end-to-end technology that captures and delivers master quality audio. At this level of playback you are hearing what was created in the studio ,with precise file and platform-specific DAC compensation and management. MQA is supported via a wired or wireless UPnP network connection only. HiFi Stereo: In addition to home theater applications, the Arcam AV41 can be utilized for HiFi stereo sound when critically listening to your music library. It offers 2ch Stereo and All-Channel Stereo modes, as well as Direct modes that turns off necessary DSP and surround sound processing for a purer music listening experience. Stereo Modes: In Stereo mode, the Arcam AV41 works as a high-quality 2ch amplifier for stereo playback from the two connected front left and right loudspeakers. In Multichannel Stereo mode (5ch or 7ch), the AV41 produces an output from all speakers by copying the left output to all left speakers and the right output to all right speakers. The center speaker outputs a mix of left and right. The powered subwoofer can be enabled or disabled in Stereo or Multichannel Stereo modes. Direct Modes: The Stereo Direct mode automatically bypasses all of the preamplifier/processor's processing and any surround functions. In Stereo Direct mode, digital processing is shut down to improve the sound quality and reduces digital noise with the preamplifier/processor to an absolute minimum. When Stereo Direct mode is selected, no digital output is available and no bass management is performed (no audio will be output from a connected powered subwoofer). CD Direct turns off the compressed audio detection mute delay and should only be used for sources that will only transmit PCM audio (such as a CD player). eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel): This feature of the AV preamplifier/processor's main HDMI monitor output allows audio to be sent from your compatible TV to the preamplifier/processor through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio and video to your TV. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to your television. eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) will support uncompressed audio formats like Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, & DTS HD Master Audio - where as the previous ARC (Audio Return Channel) was limited to only Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS HD, and PCM. Note: Supported content will be dependent on whether your TV features a HDMI eARC or ARC jack. Level Controls: The Arcam AV41 allows you to adjust the preamplifier/processors Bass & Treble, Input Trim, Maximum Volume levels to your desired preference. Bass & Treble: The Arcam AV preamplifier/processor offers independent Bass & Treble tone control for all connected speakers and for each individual source input, allowing you to set up different Bass & Treble tone setting for different source content. The Bass & Treble settings range is -12 to +12 dB. There is also a Balance control to adjust the left and right balance between the front and left speakers. Input Trim: Input Trim allows you to set the maximum analog input signal level (sensitivity) for each analog input before the ADC (analog-to-digital converter) signal path clips. This helps maximize signal-to-noise performance of the preamplifier/processor and also helps keep the various analog sources sounding about the same level for any given preamplifier/processor volume control setting. The Input Trim can be set to 1, 2, or 4 volts. Maximum Volume: You can limit the maximum volume setting the system can be turned up to; this is a useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low power-handling speakers. It is stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up (can be set independently for the Main Zone and Zone 2). You can also limit the maximum volume the system operates in when it is switched on or comes out of Standby. The system comes on at this stored volume setting if the last used volume exceeds this value. It is stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up (can be set independently for the Maine Zone and Zone 2). The volume range of this preamplifier/processor is 0-99dB. Analog & Digital Audio Inputs: The Arcam AV41 is equipped with analog & digital audio inputs. There are four coaxial (RCA) digital inputs, two optical (toslink) digital inputs, and six stereo line-level (RCA) inputs. There is a also a front-panel 3.5mm Aux input for temporary connection of an external audio source, such as a portable MP3 player. Note: This preamplifier/processor is not equipped with a Phono input to connect a turntable. To connect a turntable, you'll need an external phono preamp or a turntable with a built-in phono preamp. See Accessories Tab for phono preamps (sold separately). Line Out & Digital Out: The Arcam AV41 is also equipped with a stereo line output and optical (toslink) digital output for the output of an analog or digital audio signal. Headphone Jack: The Arcam AV41 features a front-panel 3.5mm headphone jack for connecting a set of headphones (impedance rating between 32-ohm and 600-ohm. The headphone jack is always active, except when preamplifier/processor is muted. When a set of headphones is connected to the headphone jack, the preamplifier/processor's speaker outputs and preamp outputs are automatically muted. FM Tuner: The Arcam AV41 AV preamplifier/processor features a built-in FM tuner (there is no AM tuner) and comes with an FM wire antenna. You can store up to 50 FM station presets. Video Section HDMI 2.1: The Arcam AV41 is equipped with seven HDMI inputs and three HDMI outputs. All seven HDMI inputs and the three HDMI outputs feature the latest HDMI 2.1 specification; including support for 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz Ultra-HD video, HDCP 2.3, BT.2020 Wide Color Gamut, High Dynamic Range (HDR), and 4:4:4 Pure Color sub-sampling. 8K/60Hz & 4K/120Hz Passthrough: All seven of the HDMI inputs and the three HDMI outputs support up to 8K (7680x4320 pixels) @ 60 frames pers second and 4K (3840x2160 pixels) video @ 120 frames per second - up to 40Gbps bandwidth.

HDPCP 2.3 Compliant: All of HDMI inputs and HDMI outputs support HDCP 2.3, which fully complies with the latest copyright protection standard for ultra-HD 4K and 8K video transmission. 4:4:4 Color Subsampling: All HDMI inputs and outputs support RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, and YCbCr 4:2:0 color subsampling (4K 60Hz/50Hz). With 4:4:4 color subsampling, luminance (brightness) and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate; resulting in an RGB color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image with more colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail. Wide Color Gamut (BT.2020): BT.2020 is supported on all HDMI inputs and outputs. The BT.2020 color standard delivers a much wider color gamut and represents about 75% of the total visual color spectrum, while the current Rec. 709 color standard selected as the color space for HDTVs and early generation 4K Ultra HDTVs covers only 35% of the total visual color spectrum. Notes: This preamplifier/processor does not upscale HDMI video. This preamplifier/processor is not equipped with analog composite or component video inputs/outputs. HDR (High Dynamic Range): HDR (High Dynamic Range) video provides enhanced picture quality by simultaneously enabling greater detail for both the dark and bright parts of an image. HDR reproduces a greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness levels, creating greater contrast. This increased contrast reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed blacks and shadows to the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth. This preamplifier/processor supports HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. HDR 10: HDR 10 is an open standard and currently the most popular HDR format on the market. It uses static metadata at the start of a movie to tell the preamplifier/processor and your TV that the video content is encoded using HDR. HDR10+: HDR10+ is a new open standard that leverages dynamic metadata to produce enhanced contrast and colors on an expanded range of televisions. HDR10+ incorporates dynamic metadata that allows the adjustment of brightness levels on a scene-by-scene or even frame-by-frame basis. By applying individualized tone mapping to each scene, HDR10+ delivers an incredible viewing experience. The picture quality offers an enhanced visual experience with more detailed expressions, brighter shadow areas and more accurate color renderings that stay true to the creator's original intent. Hybrid-Log Gamma: HLG (Hybrid-Log Gamma) is primarily designed for live video feed and over-the-air broadcasts. It uses no pre-encoded metadata and is backwards compatible with SDR. HLG's native compatibility allows much of today's existing SDR infrastructure to be re-used for HDR in the future. Dolby Vision: Unlike HDR 10 which contains static metadata and HLG which uses no metadata, Dolby Vision uses dynamic metadata technology which sets individual color and brightness levels for each and every scene. Dolby works directly with filmmakers at major Hollywood studios to create superior HDR video masters of blockbuster movies. Three HDMI Outputs: The Arcam AV41 is equipped with three HDMI outputs, a Main HDMI output, sub HDMI output, and a Zone 2 HDMI output. The Main and Sub HDMI outputs are parallel and distribute the same HDMI input signal simultaneously to two separate displays. The Zone 2 HDMI output allows you to enjoy a different HDMI audio/video source in another room. All three HDMI outputs can support up to 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz Ultra-HD video. Other HDMI Features: The Arcam AV preamplifier/processor's HDMI connectivity also offers HDMI Standby Passthrough, Lip Sync function, and 3D video pass-through,. HDMI Standby Passthrough: When the AV41 is in standby mode (power off), the HDMI Standby Passthrough feature allows HDMI source signals to pass through the preamplifier/processor to the TV. The HDMI input can be changed using the remote control. So, there's no need to turn on the AV preamplifier/processor in order to switch HDMI sources. Lyp Sync: Each input can have its own setting to add a time delay between the audio and video signals to compensate for the sound and picture not being synchronized. This is normally required when video processing is used in the system for scaling or de-interlacing video. The range of lip sync delay is 0 to 250 milliseconds. 3D Ready: The Arcam AV preamplifier/processor supports 3D video pass-through (1080p only) from connected 3D-compatible Blu-ray, games and broadcast devices to 3D-compatible HDTVs (all 3D components must be connected via HDMI).

For playback from a network device, the network device needs to running a universal plug and play (UPnP) service, such as Windows Media Player 11.

Note: To use Roon you will need a Roon Core running on the same network as the Arcam AV preamplifier/processor. The Core is media server software that runs on your computer, NAS, or player (sold separately) located on the network within your home. Bluetooth Audio w/ aptX HD: The Arcam AV41 features built-in Bluetooth 5.0 with support for wireless audio streaming (A2DP). You'll be able to wirelessly stream stored music, music apps, and other audio content from your Bluetooth-enabled source device (such as your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer) to the AV preamplifier/processor. Supported Codecs: In addition to support for Bluetooth's standard SBC audio codec, the AV41 supports AAC for higher quality playback from Apple iOS devices, as well as support of aptX HD for 24-bit/48kHz audio playback from compatible devices. aptX HD supports 48kHz/24-bit LPCM audio over a Bluetooth wireless connection for a better-than-CD listening experience.

The preamplifier/processor's front-panel LCD will also display song/artist/album info (no album art). Song/artist/album info is not displayed on the connected TV. Multi-Device Pairing: Up to eight Bluetooth devices can be paired with the AV preamplifier/processor, but only one can be connected and used at a time. The Arcam AV41 does not support auto reconnection with previously paired Bluetooth devices. Note: Make sure to connect the included Bluetooth antenna. Multrioom Audio/Video Distribution HDMI Zone 2: The Arcam AV41 provides a Zone 2 HDMI output, so two different HDMI audio/video feeds can be sent to two different displays at the same time directly from the preamplifier/processor. HDMI Zone 2 will output up to 8K video and 2-channel audio for the HDMI input source selected. Video will be output at the highest resolution supported by both TVs. If you have the same HDMI source playing back in the main room and Zone 2, then the main room is also limited to 2ch PCM audio. The HDMI Zone 2 only supports HDMI audio/video sources. Zone 2 is not compatible with analog, optical/coaxial digital, network, or Bluetooth sources Line-Level Zone 2: The Line-Level Zone 2 allows stereo audio playback of an audio source connected to the preamplifier/processor in another room of your home via RCA line-level output. Analog audio input sources, the built-in FM tuner, the USB port, Bluetooth, and Network content (including UPnP, Chromecast built-in, and AirPlay 2) can be output in Zone 2. When using the preamplifier/processor's line output terminals for the second room, you need an additional amplifier to power your Zone 2 speakers. The volume of Zone 2 can be controlled by the Arcam preamplifier/processor or add-on amplifier. Unfortunately, you cannot select USB, Bluetooth, and Network sources exclusively for each Zone. For example, if you select a Network source for Zone 2 when a USB source is selected for the Main Zone, the input source in the Main Zone also switches to the same network source as Zone 2. HDMI & optical/coaxial digital input sources cannot be output in Zone 2.

It is pre-programmed for use with this AV preamplifier/processor and many other Arcam products (CD players, DVD players, etc). With its extensive built-in library of codes, it can also be used with thousands of other manufacturer's audio/video components (such as TVs, satellite/cable boxes, Blu-ray players, etc.). It is also a learning remote, so you can teach it almost any IR function from another component's remote control. A backlight comes on for eight seconds whenever a key is pressed on the remote, helping you use the remote control in low lighting conditions. HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control): The Arcam AV41 supports HDMI-CEC, which synchronizes the operation of this unit with other HDMI-CEC devices when connected via HDMI. When the AV preamplifier/processor is connected to a HDMI-CEC compatible TV, they will turn ON/OFF together and you can use the TV remote to control the volume of the preamplifier/processor. HDMI-CEC also provides playback functionality with other components, such as your Blu-ray player. For example, you can use the preamplifier/processor's remote control to operate player functions like Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind, Previous/Next Track, or Stop. Note: Not all HDMI-CEC compatible components and functions are guaranteed to work. MusicLife App: The free Music Life App (for Apple iOS 11.0+ and Android OS 5.0+) allows you to wirelessly stream music stored on your computer and your compatible smartphone or tablet device to the Arcam AV preamplifier/processor, as well control playback from your mobile device. You'll be able to effortlessly stream music stored on your Windows PC, Mac computer, NAS drive, or other UPnP compliant device directly to the Arcam preamplifier/processor and control playback from the MusicLife app on your compatible mobile device. You also get to stream content stored on your compatible Apple iOS or Android OS device to the Arcam preamplifier/processor using the MusicLife app with playback control functions. Note: Your music library must be stored physically on your computer or mobile device, not on a Cloud service.

Internet Explorer 9.x, 10.x, 11.x, or Safari 7.x is recommended for web browser. IP Control can be set to to work even when the preamplifier/processor is in Standby (Off) mode). RS232 Port: The AV preamplifier/processor is equipped with an RS232 Port that can be used to connect external control devices from Crestron and AMX (sold separately). IR Inputs: The two infrared inputs (3.5mm) allow the connection of external IR receivers, either when the preamplifier/processor's front-panel IR receiver is fully or partially obstructed, or when controlling Zone 2. Triggers Outputs: The two 12V trigger outputs (12V/70mA) can be used to switch on and off other components with a 12V trigger inputs in Zone 1 and Zone 2. Convenience Features On-Screen Menu: The Arcam AV41 features an on-screen user interface for the setup menus.
