Denon POA-A1HDCI

The Denon POA-A1HDCI is an ultra-reference 10 channel A/V power amplifier offered by Denon. This high quality power amplifier has discrete power to each of its 10 channels,  each of which is equipped with a dedicated DC power supply for optimum fidelity with minimum interference between 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 channel also features A/B speaker outputs allowing tremendous felixibility for multi-zone and bi-amping situations. Control Link connectivity gives 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. This is an ideal match for the Denon AVP-A1HDCI A/V home theater/multimedia preamplifier.
