“Arcam of Cambridge UK, make some of the world’s finest Home Cinema components at prices up to £5000 each. This level of skill and technology, is combined in the Solo’s aluminium enclosure to deliver quality and facilities previously only possible from large separate black boxes” says the company’s latest press release.

The Solo Plus features six high-quality drivers and 100 watts of ‘Real-Power’ amplification with Bass, mid-range and high-frequency drivers flanking the clear central display. The bass and mid-range receive 40w and the high-frequency tweeter gets 10w with the tweeters being angled out by 5 degrees to create a greater dispersion into the room.

At the heart of the bar is a high-performance Arcam AV receiver with HD Format decoding including Dolby True-HD and DTS-HD. There’s 4 into 1 4K HDMI switching, plus integrated auto setup and EQ.

All of the Plus changes have been made in software and any existing Solo bar can be upgraded, by

downloading and installing Firmware V1.19.
