The Denon AVC-X2850H is a 7.2 channel AV amplifier delivering 150 watts per channel at 6 Ohms with 8K video pass-through, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive audio, and HEOS built-in for wireless whole-home streaming. It is the successor to the popular AVR-X2800H, now in Denon's updated amplifier chassis design.
Six HDMI inputs (three 8K capable) and two HDMI outputs (including eARC) connect every source in a modern home cinema setup. 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz pass-through, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, VRR, ALLM, and QFT make it fully compatible with current gaming consoles and premium streaming content. ProHiFi is an authorised Denon dealer in India.
Audyssey MultEQ XT room calibration uses the included measurement microphone to analyse speaker placement and room acoustics, automatically optimising each channel for the best sound in the space. The Denon Setup Assistant provides step-by-step on-screen guidance for first-time users.
HEOS built-in enables wireless multi-room audio across Denon Home speakers and other HEOS-enabled products. AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, and Roon Ready provide streaming from every major platform. Hi-res audio playback supports FLAC, ALAC, and WAV up to 24-bit/192kHz, and DSD 2.8/5.6MHz.
