Features

The premium 7.2-channel model of the AVENTAGE series, power 770W (4 Ohms) includes support for advanced Surround: AI technology and the latest networking features. Dolby Atmos and DTS: X are able to revive movie soundtracks like never before. Enhanced Cinema DSP HD3 technology adds depth and richness to music and soundtracks. There are assignable bi-amp amplifiers as well as Speaker Zone B.

Design and build

The AVENTAGE Series RX-A1080 features a smart, minimalist design with an elegant aluminum front panel. More importantly, the device is exceptionally strong - from the inside it is reinforced with stiffeners in the form of the letter “H”. The device is also equipped with anti-resonance technology Anti Resonance Technology (A.R.T.), which is the fifth leg in the center of the device, which absorbs vibrations from a power amplifier and other sources. The RX-A1080 AV receiver is equipped with ESS Saber ES9007S Premier high-performance DACs and supports almost all advanced audio and video processing technologies.

Connectivity

Since the YAMAHA RX-A1080 is equipped with three HDMI outputs, you can connect a TV, LCD projector and other devices to the device at the same time.

Setup

YPAO-R.S.C. analyzes the acoustic configuration of the room and measures the various characteristics of the speakers, and then selects the sound parameters so as to ensure optimal quality in any of the eight positions of the listener. It uses accurate equalizer calculation to create the most natural room acoustics possible. Reflected sound control is used to correct early reflections and provides studio-quality sound. DAC effects are also normalized so that the CINEMA DSP parameters match the reflected sounds.

Pros and Cons
