Product Shot 2 High current DC rectifiers and companion high current filter/storage capacitors ensure stable performance with low impedance (4 ohms) speaker loads, even in bridged mode. Each channel also features A/B speaker outputs allowing tremendous felixibility for multi-zone and bi-amping situations. Control Link connectivity gives seamless configuration and switching via the A/V controller.  The rugged chassis features direct mechanical grounding that eliminates microphonically-induced distortions, along with extensive shielding to prevent mutual interference between individual amplifier channels and low and high power circuits. This is an ideal match for the Denon AVP-A1HDCI A/V home theater/multimedia preamplifier.
