A&R Cambridge Ltd

A&R Cambridge Ltd is a British manufacturer of hi-fi equipment based in Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, England. It was formally established in 1976 by science and engineering students from the University of Cambridge. A&R Cambridge’s first product was the A&R Cambridge A60 integrated amplifier, released in 1976. It soon became a classic product, admired for both restrained, sleek appearance and its high-end sound performance. These days Arcam products range from integrated stereo amplifiers through to high performance AV processors, Blu-ray players and a successful range of smaller lifestyle products. In the 1980s, the formal company name of A&R Cambridge Ltd was shortened on the products themselves to “ARCAM”, although the company's trading name remained A&R Cambridge Ltd. Well-known Arcam brands include the Alpha and Delta separates of the 80's and 90's, the FMJ series and the DiVA range of stereo and AV separates. As of 2012 the range consists of FMJ for the full size hi-fi and Home Cinema components, Solo for stereo music systems and rSeries for the lifestyle computer and streaming components such as the rBlink and the irDAC.
