Decoding surround sound has come a long way from where it used to be. The AVR31 supports decoding of 16 channels of surround sound for formats such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and AURO-3D.
Features:
- 7-channel amplifier
- 120W per channel at 8 ohms (20–20,000 Hz) with 0.02% THD with 2 channels driven
- Dolby® and DTS surround sound decoding
- Supports Dolby Atmos or DTS:X setup up to 9.1.6 with additional power amplifiers
- Dirac Live room correction adapts sound to your room's acoustics (microphone included)
- Dual audiophile-grade ESS 9026PRO digital-to-analog converters for ultra-clean sound from stereo and surround sound sources
You can set up a fairly large surround sound system using just the seven built-in channels of the receiver. You can also take advantage of the numerous preamp outputs on the back panel and use a separate amplifier to power a 15.2-channel system. In any case, this receiver accurately reproduces every detail of a movie soundtrack, from thunder above to explosions behind and action unfolding on the screen.

Clean Power for All Occasions
The AVR31 features a powerful class AB amplifier that delivers 120 watts per channel. This is enough to drive most bookshelf and floor-standing speakers. It starts with a high-tech toroidal power supply that helps reduce noise before it reaches the amplifier stage. Arcam's audiophile-approved amplifier design ensures extremely low noise levels and a high signal-to-noise ratio. In the real world, these specifications on paper provide excellent performance and optimal clarity.

You can select streaming sources through the free MusicLife app (available for Android and iOS). The app also lets you use your phone as a Wi-Fi remote control.
Industry-Leading Room Correction with Dirac
Dirac Live is one of the best room correction systems in the industry. Use the included microphone and run the Dirac software on your laptop to take precise sound measurements in your room. Once the software completes the test, it creates an individual EQ correction curve for all your speakers, tailored to overcome the specific acoustic characteristics of your room. By using Dirac, you allow your speakers to unleash their full sound potential.
