Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Your State-of-the-Art Denon Solution for Maximizing Content Quality

The POA-A1HDCI is a 10-channel high-output power amplifier with 300 watts (4 ohm) of uniform-quality current for each channel. To ensure maximum performance as an audio amplifier, this model has been designed with a discrete monaural configuration where each channel is endowed with its own parts and radiator. Interference between channels has been eliminated to produce highly pure sound with a realistic sound space.

When paired with the Denon AVP-A1HDCI Network-Streaming Pre-Amplifier, you've got the strongest foundation possible for the ultimate home theater experience.

Pure Amplifier Design for Incomparable Quality

With 150 W x 10 channels (8 ohms) or 300 W (4 ohms) x 10 channels, the Denon POA-A1HDCI amplifier is capable of driving low-impedance speakers. With fully separated construction for all ten channels and separate winding in each power circuit in a pure mono-block design with shortened audio signal paths, you're assured of ensuring complete consistency even at room-shattering peak performance. A Direct Mechanical Ground design minimizes mechanical vibration from the eight individual transformers and radiators, eliminating mechanical noise in your home theater setup. The main power unit for the power amp is configured of four large transformers dedicated to the power amp section, large-capacity block capacitors, and large-capacity rectifying diodes, to provide a stable supply of current from the main power supply block. This highly reliable current allows listeners to freely enjoy high-quality sound even during dynamic playback of surround sound or multi-channel sources. The power unit also has two independent pairs of large transformers, one for each stereo channel, and each channel is independently configured from a secondary coil on each transformer to suppress interference between circuits and ensure superior sound quality.

Designed to Take Full Advantage of the Matching Denon AVP-A1HDCI

The AVP-A1HDCI with 10 pre-amp channels is equipped with a power amp assignment function capable of taking efficient advantage of the POA-A1HDCI’s power amp to support a variety of situations in the listening environment. Since the 10 speaker terminals can be freely assigned to any channel, the combination of one AVP-A1HDCI and a POA-A1HDCI permits the enjoyment of home theater entertainment in a variety of environments. The front channels can also be used as a bi-amp, or as a bridged connection for higher power output through a single channel. You could also purchase two POA-A1HDCI power amps to bridge-connect 10 output channels that would let you enjoy incredible dynamism on the level of a movie theater.

Control Link Allows POA-A1HDCI and AVP-A1HDCI to Be Configured from One Remote

With the POA-A1HDCI, it is possible to switch among XLR, RCA, and OFF for the input signals and among Bi-Amp, NORMAL, and BRIDGE for the types of output, for each channel. The POA-A1HDCI is also equipped with Control Link to enable communication with the AVP-A1HDCI. When connected with a Control Link Cable, these settings can be made using the remote control unit that comes with the AVP-A1HDCI. (When the POA-A1HDCI is used on its own, switches on the rear panel is used to change the settings.)

RCA and XLR Input for Each Channel

Bridged or bi-amp connections are possible by setting a switch on the rear panel that will enable the connection of a 2-channel unit to a single-channel input. Settings are made individually for each channel so that the front and centre channels can be bridged and the surround and back surround channels can be used singly. During linked control from the AVP-A1HDCI, the connection method can be selected from the AVP-A1HDCI's remote controller.
