Power Amp Assignment Function
The AVP-A1HDCI is equipped with a power amp assignment function capable of taking efficient advantage of the POA-A1HDCI's power amp to support a variety of situations in the listening environment. Since the 10 speaker terminals can be freely assigned to any channel, the combination of one AVP-A1HDCI and a POA-A1HDCI permits the enjoyment of home theater entertainment in a variety of environments. The front channels can also be used as a bi-amp, or as a bridged connection for higher power output through a single channel. You could also purchase two POA-A1HDCI power amps to bridge-connect 10 output channels that would let you enjoy incredible dynamism on the level of a movie theater
Ease-of-Use
Control link allows the POA-A1HDCI settings to be made. With the POA-A1HDCI, it is possible to switch among XLR, RCA, and off for the input signals, and among bi-amp, normal, and bridge for the types of output, for each channel. The POA-A1HDCI is also equipped with a control link to enable communication with the AVP-A1HDCI. When the POA-A1HDCI is used on its own, switches on the rear panel are used to change the settings
High Current and Separated Power Supply
8 individual transformers to supply power to each discrete circuit
4 main power transformers to drive 10 channel power amplifiers with separated coil winding for pure audio playback
High current diodes and capacitors to drive bridged speakers
Bi-Amp/Bridge Mode Select
Bridged or bi-amp connections are possible by setting a switch on the rear panel that will enable the connection of a 2 channel unit to a single channel input. Settings are made individually for each channel so that the front and center channels can be bridged and the surround and back surround channels can be used separately
