DENON POA-A1HDCI

Denon’s eagerly anticipated new 10-channel amplifier

The Denon POA-A1HDCI 10-Channel Amplifier is a THX Ultra2-certified powerhouse that’s the perfect mate for the new AVP-A1HDCI pre-amp/processor.

• 150 watts x 10 channels 8 ohms
• 300 watts x 10 channels 4 ohms
• 500 watts into 4 ohms, bridged
• 10-channel mono-block design
• XLR and RCA inputs for all 10 channels

Audiophiles have been waiting for Denon to get back into separates ever since the company exited the category ten years ago. Well, the wait is finally over. The POA-HDCI 10-Channel Amplifier shown here and the AVP-A1HDCI A/V Controller make a formidable claim to offering the best audio/video performance available today.

The POA-HDCI boasts a mono block design with fully separated construction for each of its 10 channels to eliminate cross-channel interference. Eight individual transformers supply power to each discrete circuit, to keep your system’s power supply as pure as possible. A new amplifier circuit shortens audio signal paths, and the Direct Mechanical Ground minimizes vibrations from the transformers and radiators.

It’s good to be balanced
Each channel has balanced connections for professional-grade signal transfer, and there are also traditional consumer-grade unbalanced connections if you prefer. The speaker terminals are the wide-pitch, gold-plated variety for the ultimate speaker hook-up.
