Optimize your room

High-Performance Nine-Channel Amplifier

Discrete high-current amplifiers deliver up to 125W per channel (at 8 ohms, 20-20kHz, THD 0.08%)—enough power to drive any speaker.

Configuration Flexibility

AVC-X4800H offers many setup options and flexibility to adjust your home theatre to meet your needs. Supports 11.4 channel processing capability, Pre-Amplifier mode, and optional Dirac Live upgradability.

9-channel amplification does not mean you need to stop at max 11-channel speaker configuration. With external 2-channel amplification that can be assigned to either Front, Left, and Right, or a pair of height channels, you can set up an 11-channel speaker configuration such as 7.1.4, allowing you even more flexibility and an engulfing audio experience.

Pre-Amplifier Mode

Your Denon AV amplifier can work as a perfect AV preamplifier with the latest HDMI connectivity. Pre-Amplifier Mode provides a cleaner signal path and more tolerance in clipping level by disconnecting internal amplifiers. Add the flexibility to disconnect select speaker channels so that you can use the AV receiver's built-in amplification to drive non-critical channels to get a clearer signal path for the channels driven by external amplification.

Subwoofer outputs & settings

Blanket yourself in evenly distributed, accurate bass. Featuring up to four subwoofer outputs to smooth out low frequencies and provide better dispersion. No audible peaks or dips, just powerful, room-filling bass. Tweak your subwoofer settings to your preference when more than two subwoofers are connected. Select "Standard" if you want evenly distributed bass performance. Select "Directional" if you want more directional bass performance seamlessly integrated into the speaker channel closest to each subwoofer in the room.

Dirac Live Upgradeability

The interaction between your sound system and the physical layout of your room has a huge impact on sound quality. Dirac Live Room Correction applies state-of-the-art, patented algorithms to analyze and digitally reduce room impact and enhance speaker performance. Select Denon AV receivers support Dirac Live Upgradability. You can purchase a Dirac Live license key to unlock the functionality. Visit dirac.com/denon/ for more information. Upgradability will be supported via a future firmware update.
