Arcam FMJ A19

The FMJ A19 will delight music lovers of all generations. It delivers exceptional transparency, a rare level of detail with ultra-low distortion. It’s the perfect amp for users seeking high-quality sound at an affordable price.

Incorporating the latest amplification technologies, the A19 includes components found in the brand’s high-end products. Although based on the A18, the amplification design and performance have been completely revamped to achieve an exquisite musical level. This obsession with sound quality led to integrating an intelligent and flexible power supply scheme. The A19’s power supply section is designed to power two Arcam rSeries products. This allows the A19 to become a digital receiver with a wide range of connection options, including USB and Bluetooth (rPac & rBlink). For example, by pairing the A19 with an rBlink, you can stream tracks directly from Deezer or Spotify apps via Bluetooth in very high quality!

While the music world becomes essentially digital, analog sources are not forgotten. The popularity of vinyl has compelled Arcam to equip the A19 with an ultra-low noise moving magnet (MM) phono stage. The same goes for headphones, and Arcam’s engineers have improved the amplifier’s headphone sections to a rarely achieved level. The A19 uses an entirely new circuit that delivers exceptional sound quality.

The A19 is built to the same standards as other FMJ products. Each component is carefully selected and measured, then assembled following an optimized circuit to obtain the very best performance. The A19’s audio circuits are combined with separate silent power supplies built around an oversized toroidal transformer. This state-of-the-art electronics is housed in an acoustically damped chassis that combines quality and metal perfection to harmonize with the sound quality of this admirable Arcam amplifier.
