Features

The Denon AVR-X2500H AV receiver provides further development of a more affordable model and has advanced features. In addition, this unit has more powerful amplifiers and a power supply, so it develops up to 95 watts on each of the seven channels in nominal mode (8 Ohms). Denon AVR-X2500H also has decoders for all multi-channel audio recording formats, including Dolby Atmos / DTS: X, as well as DTS Virtual: X for 3D sound generation in 5.1 systems. The receiver has an Audyssey MultEQ surround sound auto-calibration system, which allows you to fine-tune the surrounding sound space exactly at the listening point using the included measuring microphone.

Design and build

Not much has changed physically, with the exception of a small permutation and optimization, but this part has never been a problem with these amplifiers. We want them to be neat and, more importantly, reliable - and Denon adhered to these desires. To achieve the highest sound quality in all Denon AVR-X2500H channels, the AK4490 EQ DACs are used.

Connectivity

The device is equipped with six HDMI inputs on the rear panel and one on the front, as well as two HDMI inputs. This option, which was previously found only in higher-end models, is welcome. Supports HDMI switching of signals with a resolution of up to 4K, including with the conversion of lower-resolution digital video to Ultra HD, as well as with support for HDR and Dolby Vision. There is a full range of analog and digital inputs, including for connecting an MM-pickup of a turntable. As additional features for signaling to the AV receiver, the built-in Bluetooth module can be noted, as well as support for the new generation of AirPlay 2 wireless technology.

Setup

Denon AVR-X2500H owns the possibility of inclusion in the proprietary multi-room system HEOS. You can control the AV receiver using the remote control and on-screen graphics, or through a convenient branded mobile application.
