Denon's AVC-A11XV THX Ultra2 Certified 7-channel AV Surround Amplifier (6/6/2005)

AVC-A11XV - £2499.99
- Upconversion to HDMI and DVI/HDMI switching
- Denon Link 3 ratified for SACD - best digital sound

The AVC-A11XV owes much of its design to its more technologically advanced, critically acclaimed sibling, the AVC-A1XV and it delivers incredible performance from a compact, more affordable package. Key features of the A1 are there, including the advanced MultEQª XT room correction and calibration technology that is capable of minimising the effects of room acoustics for multiple listeners. The sound has not been forgotten and the A11 has every Denon digital technology, the very latest codecs and everything necessary to deliver powerhouse movie and music performance with finesse.

This is a world-class component that offers unprecedented features and capabilities for a price significantly lower than might be expected. To enhance flexibility, the AVC-A11XV features seven discrete amplifiers and multiplechannel output, with independent audio and video processing capabilities allowing a multi-source/multi-zone home entertainment system from a single component.

New features, over and above the A1XV

- HDMI upconversion - while many competitors haven't even implemented HDMI switching yet, the A11XV goes one step further to introduce Upconversion of all sources to HDMI. Only one cable to plasma or projector - Denon Link 3, now SACD capable allows the Amplifier to receive high-resolution, multi-channel digital audio data directly from the DVD-A1XV, DVD-A11 and DVD-3910 DVD players (and future / past Denon products) for the absolutely best sound from all disc formats

Stunning Audio Performance and Huge Power - THX Ultra2

- 7 x 140 watts of full-bandwidth high-current power, into each of its seven channels - 7 x 195 watts into 6 ohms, 1kHz, 0.7% distortion - the spec some competitors use

The AVC-A11XV is compatible with every popular surround format, from Dolby, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic IIx to THX Ultra2 Cinema and Music, to THX Surround EX. It also features THX 4.0/5.1/6.1 post processing, and offers additional DSP modes. Audio performance is maximized through Denon's newly improved DDSC-D (Dynamic Discrete Surround Decoder-Digital) and Advanced AL24 Processing circuitry, which utilizes advanced Texas Instruments, Analog Devices 32-bit floating point processors and Burr-Brown 24-bit/192kHz audio DACs

New MultEQ Auto Set-Up/Room EQ: A Sweet Spot For Every Listener

The MultEQ XT state-of-the-art Auto Set-Up and Room Correction goes well beyond conventional auto routines. This is the first technology capable of generating a 'sweet spot' for every listener or viewer, no matter where in the room they're sitting. During Auto Set-Up MultEQ XT automatically determines how many loudspeakers are connected, whether they are in phase, and whether they are sats or subs. It then analyses and calibrates speaker level, size, and distance. In addition, MultEQ XT detects the proper crossover point and determines correct frequency response for up to eight listener positions simultaneously.

Denon's implementation of MultEQ XT utilizes multiple Aureus high-performance DSP processors, along with the finest Digital to Analogue converters, to define optimum sound quality. Additionally, both the Room EQ and Auto Set- Up can be disabled for those who prefer to calibrate in the traditional manner.

Custom Installation-Friendly Features, Plus Upgradeability

In addition to its extensive complement of digital and analog audio and video connections, the AVC-A11XV also includes a full array of custom installation AV Amplifier features, such as assignable high current DC trigger outputs and an RS-232C port for integrated system operation with Crestron or AMX. Via built-in Ethernet port, the amplifier offers TCP/IP control capability, and can accommodate future software / firmware upgrades.

The AVC-A1XV is also supplied with a new, improved EL programmable remote control.
