Arcam exists for one simple reason: to bring the best possible sound into people's lives, whether from movies or their favourite music. We're committed to engineering products able to deliver audio performance so lifelike it connects you straight to the heart of music, and wraps you in the world of movies.

Arcam have been developing and making CD players for almost 30 years, and for 40 years the descendants of the amplifier with which the company started in consumer electronics, and as far back as 1995 expanded into home cinema electronics, developing a world-class reputation for making some of the best-sounding AV electronics.
