Technology

Creating a life like audio experience in a cinema or at home has always presented a challenge. DTS:X makes sound move around you like it would in real life – without requiring specific speakers or custom configurations. Moviemakers can now immerse you deeper in the experience than ever before. The Concert AVR-9 supports DTS:X and will bring the mix designed for movie theatres into your home.

The Concert AVR-9 uses a built in proprietary automatic loudspeaker setup function from Dirac Research. Using a PC/MAC based application, Dirac Live® determines the essential speaker settings for all the speakers in your system. It also calculates room equalisation (Room EQ) filter values to remove some of the worst effects of resonant frequencies in the listening room. The result is improved staging, better clarity and intelligibility in music and vocals and deeper, tighter bass without resonance.

The Concert AVR-9 is ready for the next generation of digital media entertainment. The AVR-9 supports both HDMI 2.0 for 4K 50/60 Hz playback and HDCP 2.2 copy protection. Current standard definition and 1080p content benefit from beautiful upscaling to 4k Ultra HD. Featuring 7 HDMI inputs and 3 HDMI outputs, the AVR-9 supports multiple displays in zone 1 and full HD video and audio for the second zone.
