Immersive 3D Audio

In comparison to the Denon AVC-X4700H, which only has two independent outputs, the Denon AVC-X-4800H supports the connection of four subwoofers. Similar to the AKM4458, the Texas Instrument PCM5102A (384 kHz/32 bits, 8 channels) is replacing the AKM4458 as the DAC. The models' capacitors have a capacity of 15,000 microfarads, and the DSP is an Analog Devices ADSP-21593 Shark+ specimen (like on the AVC-A1H, see photo below).

The Denon AVR-X4800H supports immersive 3D audio, allowing for a more realistic and immersive audio experience in home theatre configurations.

The use of surround sound technology to create the illusion of sound coming from multiple directions, including above and behind the listener, is referred to as 3D audio. The AVR-X4800H supports several surround sound formats, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D, to create a 3D audio experience.


Dolby Atmos, for example, adds a vertical dimension to the sound with height channels to create a more immersive audio experience. It enables the placement and movement of sounds in three-dimensional space, including overhead, resulting in a more realistic and immersive audio experience. DTS:X employs comparable technology to create a 3D soundstage with height channels.

Auro-3D is a surround sound format that creates a three-dimensional soundstage by adding a vertical layer to the sound. It improves the realism and immersion of the audio experience by adding depth and height to the soundstage.

The AVR-X4800H must be paired with a compatible speaker system that includes height speakers in order to fully experience the immersive 3D audio. These speakers are installed in the ceiling or angled throughout the room to reflect sound off the ceiling and create the overhead effect.

Overall, the Denon AVR-immersive X4800H's 3D audio provides a more realistic and immersive audio experience in home theatre setups by adding depth and height to the soundstage. It's a fantastic feature for users who want to enjoy the latest in surround sound technology while watching movies and listening to music.

9-Channel Amplifier With High Output

Apart from the absence of a DAB tuner, there are nine total amplification channels (11.4 processing), a 125 W power output into an 8K audio system, and other features (200 W into 6 ohms). Additionally, there is compatibility with Imax Enhanced and a Pre-Out 11.4 output. The third HDMI output, Odyssey MultEQ XT 32, and Odyssey LFC processing are also still required (allowing you to enjoy a different source from the one assigned to the main room in another room).

AVR With Multiple Channels

With its 9.4 channel system, multi-channel processing, clock jitter reducer, and pure sound from your music files and streaming services, the Denon receiver offers incredibly rich, pure sound. Enjoy your music as "original" as possible, as it was intended to be. Additionally, with a staggering 125 watts per channel (2-channels driven), you will get windows-rattling volume as well as incredible detail at lower volumes.

A multi-channel AV receiver (AVR), such as the Denon AVR-X4800H, provides a surround sound experience by distributing audio to multiple speakers. The number of channels refers to the number of speakers that can be powered by the receiver.

The Denon AVR-X4800H, for example, has 9.4 channels. This equates to 9 full-range speakers and 4 height or surround speakers. In a surround sound setup, each channel corresponds to a specific speaker or group of speakers.

The front left and right channels, for example, power the front left and right speakers, while the centre channel powers the centre speaker, which is responsible for reproducing dialogue. Surround channels provide power to speakers placed to the sides or behind the listener to create the illusion of surround sound.

The AVR-X4800H, with its ability to power multiple channels, can provide a more immersive and dynamic audio experience by dispersing sound evenly throughout the room and providing a sense of surround sound.
