Nine amplifiers deliver 105 W per channel into 8 ohms and 135 W into 6 ohms at 1 kHz. More than 70 % of rated power remains available with five channels driven. Four independent subwoofer outputs accept up to four subwoofers.
Processing goes beyond the nine amplified channels: it handles 11.4 channels, with a full 11.4 preamp output. An external amplifier can thus add two height speakers. Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro-3D, IMAX Enhanced and 360 Reality Audio are decoded, and Auro-Matic and DTS Neural:X expand stereo tracks into 3D.
The supplied microphone measures each speaker, and the Audyssey suite corrects the response for the room. The optional Dirac Live licence, full suite included, takes correction further. Settings hold over time, with no manual adjustment at each session.
Six HDMI inputs and two outputs accept 4K and 8K, with Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and eARC. VRR, ALLM and AMD FreeSync keep 4K gaming smooth. HEOS Built-in, Spotify Connect and Josh.ai voice control connect the unit to the home, with a second zone controlled separately.
