Arcam Launches its FMJ CD36 Reference Quality Audiophile CD Player at CEDIA UK Expo 2005 (27/5/2005)

CEDIA UK Expo 2005

FMJ CD36 Reference Quality Audiophile CD Player £1400.00 - The best CD Player Arcam have ever made and one that is shockingly good

Arcam goes 'Back to Stereo.' Remember that under 1% of the music available on CD is on the 'new' surround formats, their future is unclear and UK CD sales are on the rise. If you want great music you need a great CD player and with the CD36 Arcam lays down a challenge to competitors restating its position as one of the world's finest hi-fi manufacturers.

- unique 'Stealth Mat' EMC damping - 10 power supplies - Acousteel chassis - best in class performance

Having developed its multi-award winning CD players for nearly 20 years, Arcam is proud to introduce the CD36, the highest performing CD player ever from Arcam. This player is the accumulation of everything the company has learnt about CD replay.

- New technology unique to Arcam. 'Stealth Mat' material from stealth fighter technology diffuses EMC within the player to reduce interaction, lowering noise floor and removing detail-masking hash and sibilance
- ultra-high quality components throughout
- compare to any high-end competitor - this is a world-class component

Extensive re-engineering of the power supply and control electronics means the CD36 delivers a cleaner, more musical performance than previous players. Proven upsampling techniques and quad Wolfson DAC technology ensure the CD36 is one of the best dedicated CD players in the world. Four layer circuit boards, ultra low jitter clocks and a dual toroidal transformer power supply are some of the key features. Mechanical design incorporates Acousteel technology, which dampens mechanical vibration in critical areas and isolates it from critical circuitry.

The CD36 represents a thoroughly modern approach to replaying the world's favourite music medium, enthralling the listener with every nuance of detail and passion of their favourite music. The combination of industry leading component suppliers and the specialist knowledge of the Arcam design team has produced a CD player that has to be rated as the class leader.

- All new power supply using dual toroidal transformers gives exceptionally low noise floor - Quad Wolfson DACs per channel for superb linearity - Upsampling to 192kHz at 24-bit resolution for best DAC / filter performance - Ultra low jitter 3rd overtone clock for precise soundstage and imaging - Mechanically shielded construction dramatically reduces induced interference - 10 separate power supplies minimise interaction between circuit blocks - Critically damped Accousteel chassis to ensure rejection of mechanical vibration

The CD36 is designed and manufactured by Arcam in the UK
