HARMAN Luxury Audio Group has introduced three new additions to its ARCAM Radia Series.
The popular audio company explains the ST25 digital audio player is designed to maximize the performance of separates-based setups as ARCAM’s new flagship streamer, building on the legacy of HARMAN’s ST60 with a new high-resolution streaming platform. Succeeding the SA30, the new SA35 and SA45 represent the next evolution of ARCAM’s integrated amplifiers, utilizing the company’s new fifth-generation Class G amplification technologies to deliver quality audio from single-chassis designs for a fun listening experience.
“The latest additions to the Radia Series are making their debut at the HIGH END audio show in Munich, and we are blown away by the overwhelming response they are receiving from both consumers and audio industry professionals,” comments Jim Garrett, senior director, product strategy and planning, HARMAN Luxury Audio.
“Our engineers worked tirelessly to develop the ST25, SA35, and SA45, and the results are exceptional: impeccable design, sleek aesthetics, user-friendly features, and outstanding performance. They are worthy additions to the ARCAM family, and we can’t wait for listeners to be the center of the music with these exciting new products.”
HARMAN Luxury Audio Group points out that ARCAM‘s top-of-the-line music streamer, the ST25 maintains the distinctive style of the Radia Series while offering a host of new technologies, including the latest Hyperstream IV DAC topology from ESS and a redesigned linear toroidal transformer power supply that helps maintain lower noise levels throughout the unit. In addition, the digital audio player’s circuit layout includes a ground plane that spans the entire board, effectively wicking noise and interference away from the sensitive audio components.
As a custom integrator, lighting is in demand. Effective communication, education and showcasing the value proposition of LED light fixtures in conjunction with integrative control systems are the keys to overcoming challenges and closing sales in this specialized market.

Enhancing the user experience, the ST25 is equipped with a front panel 6.5-inch high-resolution, full-color display. The unit offers integrators and their clients Wi-Fi connectivity via the ARCAM Radia setup app and the component offers a variety of playback options, including Apple Airplay, Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Roon. For a more powerful ARCAM-based listening experience, the ST25 can easily be paired with ARCAM Radia amplifiers such as the A25 through a control link.
Featuring the same high-resolution streaming platform as the ST25, the SA35 and SA45 add ARCAM’s fifth-generation G Class amplification to create a pair of high-performance integrated amplifiers. HARMAN asserts that all integrators need to add are loudspeakers for an instant hi-fi system that delivers high levels of performance. To integrate turntables, both models are equipped with a switchable MC/MM (moving coil/moving magnet) phono stage, while HDMI ARC support simplifies cable connections and device control when connecting compatible TVs. For wireless devices such as Bluetooth headphones, a two-way aptX Adaptive Bluetooth module ensures sound quality.
Offering homeowners a choice of interface capabilities, the SA35 is equipped with a 6.5-inch high-resolution display, and power rated at 120-watts per channel into 8 ohms and 220 watts into 4 ohms. The SA45 features an 8.8-inch high-resolution display and delivers a 180-watts per channel into 8 ohms and 300 watts into 4 ohms. HARMAN notes both ARCAM Radia integrated amplifiers include fully balanced digital and analog audio paths, redesigned power supplies, Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, subwoofer outputs, and Dirac Live Room Correction. The SA35 and SA45 each come with a measurement microphone and remote control to assist with room calibration.
The ST25, SA35, and SA45 will be available in the fall of 2024 at MSRPs of $1,499, $3,499, and $4,999, each respectively.
