Denon Black Ultra-Reference 10 Channel AV Power Amplifier - POA-A1HDCI

Denon Black Ultra-Reference 10 Channel AV Power Amplifier, Model POAA1HDCI

A fitting companion to the reference AVP-A1HDCI Controller, the POA-A1HDCI multi-channel power amplifier sets the standard for power and precision, with unparalleled configuration options. Each of the 10 amplifier channels features a discrete power amplifier assembly to eliminate interference between channels, and each is equipped with a dedicated DC power supply that ensures optimum fidelity without interference from other channels. High current DC rectifiers and companion high current filter/storage capacitors ensure stable performance with low impedance (4 ohms) speaker loads, even in bridged mode. Each amplifier channel also features A/B speaker outputs that allows tremendous flexibility with sophisticated multi-zone installations in addition to bi-amping capability, along with our exclusive Control Link connectivity for seamless configuration and switching via the A/V controller. The rugged chassis features direct mechanical grounding that eliminates microphonically-induced distortions, along with extensive shielding to prevent mutual interference between individual amplifier channels and low and high power circuits.

Features:

• 10-Channel Equal Power
  10-Channel Equal Power is a feature in some of Denons high-end receivers and power amplifiers. These fully configurable amplifiers provide many combinations. Some examples are: o Dual 5.1 Discrete Zones with DVD-A/SACD o 5.1 Main Zone all channels Bi-Amplified o 5.1 Main Zone, Z2 & Z3 Stereo, Z4 Mono o 6.1 Main Zone, Zones 2 and 3 Stereo o 7.1 Main Zone, Zone 2 Stereo, Z3 Mono o 7.1 Main Zone, Front L/C/R Bi-Amplified o 9.1 Main Zone, Zone 2 Mono
• Custom Integration
  Custom Integration "CI" is Denon's certification to custom installers that models marked with the CI stamp have advanced connectivity and control features often required for custom home integration and theater applications using premium control systems
• Multi-Room Entertainment System
  Denons Multi Source function lets you select different audio sources for listening in different locations (some models may have volume adjust only for zone 2). Different sources can thus be enjoyed in the main room (MAIN) and sub-room(s) – ZONE 2, ZONE 3 or ZONE 4 – simultaneously (number of zones is model dependent). For additional information, check the instruction manual of the A/V receiver or power amplifier of interest for complete functionality
• THX Ultra2
  THX Ultra2 Cinema Mode produces appropriate sound field effects when 5.1 channel movie sources (without Dolby EX or dts-ES encoded effects) are played in a 7.1 channel system. With the advent of very high speed digital processing, more sophisticated trimming is applied to accurately recreate a large theatre-type sound in a conventional home cinema size room. Advanced processing widens the rear soundstage, which allows the side surrounds to deliver predominantly ambient information, the surround-back channels directional information. Likewise, the THX Music Mode produces appropriate sound field effects for Dolby Digital, dts, and other 5.1 channel music sources when they are played in a 7.1-channel system
