Enveloping 3D audio

Feel like you're in the centre of the action with enveloping 3D sound.

Expert ready

Take advantage of the wide variety of configuration options to best fit your space.

Denon craftsmanship

Designed and manufactured at Denon facilities in Japan and tuned by the Denon Sound Master.

Optimize your room

Enhance performance with room correction options from Audyssey (installed) or Dirac Live (optional).

 

High-Performance Nine-Channel Amplifier

Discrete high-current amplifiers deliver up to 125W per channel (at 8 ohms, 20-20kHz, THD 0.08%)—enough power to drive any speaker.

Configuration Flexibility

AVC-X4800H offers many setup options and flexibility to adjust your home theatre to meet your needs. Supports 11.4 channel processing capability, Pre-Amplifier mode, and optional Dirac Live upgradability.

9-channel amplification does not mean you need to stop at max 11-channel speaker configuration. With external 2-channel amplification that can be assigned to either Front, Left, and Right, or a pair of height channels, you can set up an 11-channel speaker configuration such as 7.1.4, allowing you even more flexibility and an engulfing audio experience.

Pre-Amplifier Mode

Your Denon AV amplifier can work as a perfect AV preamplifier with the latest HDMI connectivity. Pre-Amplifier Mode provides a cleaner signal path and more tolerance in clipping level by disconnecting internal amplifiers. Add the flexibility to disconnect select speaker channels so that you can use the AV receiver's built-in amplification to drive non-critical channels to get a clearer signal path for the channels driven by external amplification.

Subwoofer outputs & settings

Blanket yourself in evenly distributed, accurate bass. Featuring up to four subwoofer outputs to smooth out low frequencies and provide better dispersion. No audible peaks or dips, just powerful, room-filling bass. Tweak your subwoofer settings to your preference when more than two subwoofers are connected. Select "Standard" if you want evenly distributed bass performance. Select "Directional" if you want more directional bass performance seamlessly integrated into the speaker channel closest to each subwoofer in the room.

Dirac Live Upgradeability

The interaction between your sound system and the physical layout of your room has a huge impact on sound quality. Dirac Live Room Correction applies state-of-the-art, patented algorithms to analyze and digitally reduce room impact and enhance speaker performance. Select Denon AV receivers support Dirac Live Upgradability. You can purchase a Dirac Live license key to unlock the functionality. Visit dirac.com/denon/ for more information. Upgradability will be supported via a future firmware update.

Immersive 3D Audio

Get enveloped in sound with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced and Auro 3D, along with Dolby Surround, DTS Neural:X and Auro-Matic upmixer to optimize legacy content.

Dolby Atmos

Feel every dimension in Dolby Atmos. Upgrade your home theatre with height speakers to unleash a fully immersive 3D audio experience from Dolby Atmos content. Dolby Surround upmixer engages all speakers to create 3D audio sensation from legacy content. Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization Technology creates the sensation of overhead sound even without height speakers. You can also enjoy Dolby Atmos music tracks available from Apple Music, Amazon HD and TIDAL and a compatible streaming device.

DTS:X

DTS:X immersive audio sound where it would naturally occur in space, creating lifelike, multi-dimensional audio. DTS Neural:X upmixer offers improved immersion and heightened realism for legacy content. DTS Virtual:X provides immersive audio without height channels, creating virtual height effects in a 7.1, 5.1, or 2.1 speaker setup.

IMAX Enhanced

Get the most premium at-home entertainment experience with IMAX Enhanced - the latest technology from DTS that sets anew standard for home theatre imaging, sound, scale, and clarity.
