Reference-Grade Amplification
The AVC-A1H’s massive custom transformer and 15 discrete power amplifier channels deliver 210W per channel with vanishingly low distortion. AL32 Processing Multi-Channel — Denon’s proprietary analogue waveform reproduction technology — is applied across every channel, recovering fine musical detail that lesser amplifiers discard. The result is a soundstage of extraordinary depth, precision, and authority.
Ultimate Immersive Audio
With support for a 9.4.6 speaker layout, the AVC-A1H can drive six height channels simultaneously for the most enveloping Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Pro experience possible. IMAX Enhanced and Auro-3D are also natively supported, ensuring compatibility with every premium content format available today and tomorrow.
8K Video & Gaming
All 7 HDMI inputs are HDMI 2.1 with 40Gbps bandwidth, supporting 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz passthrough and upscaling. HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, ALLM, VRR, and QFT ensure both cinematic and gaming performance at the highest level. HDCP 2.3 guarantees compatibility with all current and future protected content.
Made in Japan
Every AVC-A1H is engineered and assembled by hand at Denon’s Shirakawa factory in Japan — the same facility that has produced Denon’s finest components for decades. Premium components are individually selected and the finished unit undergoes rigorous quality inspection before leaving the factory.
