Download CD17 technical specification

Since the introduction of its multi-award winning "Alpha" CD player of the late 1980s, the Arcam name has become synonymous with affordable HiFi of outstanding quality. In the intervening years Arcam's CD playback technology has developed to a point that its players are often compete with considerably more expensive products. The CD17 is Arcam's new entry level CD player and draws on a wealth of experience in the field.

The CD17 offers astonishing musical reproduction from CDs. The all important Digital to Analogue conversion is carried out by the very latest Wolfson 8741 DAC driven by an extremely accurate digital clock and audiophile grade supporting components.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI), which would normally mask fine details in similar players, is dramatically reduced using Arcam's proprietary "Mask of Silence" technology. The use of "Stealth Mat" (unique metal fibre matting) further diffuses EMI to help reproduce every nuance of each recording.

The CD17s power supply uses a toroid transformer together with individually regulated supplies to digital, analogue and servo sections providing extremely stable power with minimal noise. Case construction uses a mix of aluminium and steel to reduce resonance and afford maximum electronic screening for the internal components.

The resulting sound quality ensures a truly thrilling insight even with complex recordings. As part of Arcam's FMJ line of high performance separates, the CD17 is an ideal partner for the new A18 and A28 integrated amplifiers and is available in black or silver finish.
