Arcam has a policy of continual improvement for its products. This means that designs and specifications are subject to change without notice.

All specification values are typical unless otherwise stated.

Radio interference

The P1000 is an audio device which has been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility.

The unit can radiate RF (radio frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause interference with FM and AM radio reception. If this is the case, keep the P1000 and its connecting cables as far from the tuner and its aerials as possible. Connecting the P1000 and the tuner to different mains sockets can also help to reduce interference.
