Description

Product Information

”Yamaha’s RX-A6A is a great premium AVR with exhaustive features and expansive sound.”’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.

9.2 channels for enveloping sound

With no fewer than 9.2 channels of sound, the Yamaha RX-A6A opens up a new realm of possibilities. With a 5.2.4 configuration, you can use four ceiling speakers for the ultimate in Atmos and DTS:X sound. 7.2.2 gives a wider spread of sound around the room yet still retains twin ceiling speakers. For the largest rooms and non-Atmos systems, 9.2 channels gives totally immersive sound.

Upgrade to 11-channel sound for cinematic immersion

Add an extra stereo power amp for next level surround sound. Configure four ceiling or Atmos-enabled speakers as well as full, 7-channel surround sound. Alternatively, use two Atmos speakers and enjoy a broad soundstage with ‘front wide speakers’ forming a 9.2.2 system. If you don’t fancy a Dolby Atmos-specific system but want the most immersive sound possible, go for an 11.2 configuration. This offers 7.2 sound with the addition of front width and front height speakers.

High power output

Backing up the multi-channel output is a high-power amplifier. Punching out a mighty 150 watts per channel, the RX-A6A fills the largest rooms with effortless, dynamic sound. If you want to be kept on the edge of your seat with cinema thrills, this is the AV receiver for you.

Adaptive sound courtesy of Surround: AI

Surround: AI gives the ultimate surround sound – scene by scene. Powerful processing from the DSP (Digital Sound Processor) analyses scenes in real-time and then adjusts the surround effect in real-time. By focusing on distinct sounds, such as dialogue, background music, and sound effects, the RX-A6A automatically optimizes the sound for incredible realism.

Aventage quality

This Aventage AV receiver boasts exceptional construction quality. Anti-Resonance Technology (ART) makes this AVR exceptionally resistant to mechanical and electrical interference. ART encompasses a more rigid, H-shaped Cross Frame chassis, anti-vibration construction and even a fifth damping foot, helping give the RX-A6A its superb detail and resolution.

High-quality digital components

It’s not just the mechanical side of the RX-A6A that has received Yamaha’s attention, the digital components are also of exceptional quality. The Qualcomm QCS407 system chips offers industry-leading compatibility, digital signal processing and seamless integration. Partnering this are SABRE ES9026 PRO and ES9007S premium DACs (Digital to Analogue Convertors). These offer exceptionally high signal-to-noise ratios, giving you ultra-low levels of distortion and crystal-clear sound – even at low volume levels.

Wide-ranging surround sound – including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D*

With wide-ranging surround sound support, the RX-A6A is all about immersive sound – however many speakers you use. Compatible formats include Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization Technology, DTS:X, DTS Neural:X and Auro-3D. This wide range of options means you can adapt your surround sound speaker system from the simplest system with ‘virtual height’ speakers to full-blown 11.2 systems that truly bring the cinema home.

Professional connections – XLR balanced

Featuring an XLR-balanced interface, the RX-A6A is capable of pro-level connectivity. XLR connections feature additional shielding, making them more resistant to electrical interference. A further benefit is being able to run longer cables with minimal loss of quality. For the best audio connection, go XLR.

Connect more – including a turntable

As well as seven HDMI inputs, this Yamaha AVR also has a wide range of other AV connectivity. Component and composite inputs cover classic video sources.
