Arcam’s P429 four channel amplier represents another major
step forward for Arcam’s audio engineering.
Drawing on the many years of amplier design experience
at Arcam, the P429 uses the best quality components and
engineering practice to develop a product that will give many
years of musical pleasure and reliable service.
With a class G amplier, toroidal transformer based power
supply, acoustically damped chassis, complementary
transistor output stages, exceptionally low levels of distortion
and noise the P429 is capable of reproducing music with all its
original authority and detail. Rest assured you will be hearing
the music just as the artist intended.
A versatile amplifier
for a wide variety of
uses that also offers
Arcam’s amazing
class G amplification.
Alex Sandulescu, Product Manager, Arcam
The P429 has been designed to offer impressive exibility for
a variety of uses as well as using our latest generation class
G topology that is both clever and efcient. During normal
operation, distortion is measured in less than one part per
million so that this massive power is delivered with total
control and nesse.
AV enthusiasts will love the ability to add matching class G
amplication to their AVR550 / AV850 for a full 7.1.4 Dolby
Atmos setup.
Stereo fans will appreciate the bridged mode of operation,
which allows up to 270W power output per channel.
Installer-friendly features like IP & RS232 control, 12V In/Out
triggers, individual channel trims make the P429 the perfect
choice for the installer.
There have been great strides made in improving audio
sources and loudspeakers in recent years and the time is right
to match them in the eld of amplier design. This ground
breaking amplier is a “must audition” amplier for music
lovers who understand that power is nothing without control.
