Denon POA-5200 User manual

NEW MODEL INFORMATION
The POA-5200 dual monaural power amplifier provides superb stereo reproduction, and is an ideal choice for adding additional
amplifier channels to a multi-channel system. For example, when combined with Denon’s AVR-4800 THX Surround EX A/V receiver,
the POA-5200 can be used as the stereo front channels (left and right) amplifier, or the surround center back channels amplifier.
The POA-5200 meets Lucasfilm’s stringent THX Ultra certification requirements, and provides 120 watts of power per channel, RMS
into 8 ohms, and 200 watts of power per channel, RMS into 4 ohms.
THX Ultra Certified 2-channel Power Amplifier.
■THX Ultra Certified
Lucasfilm’s stringent THX Ultra certification for power amplifiers includes
dozens of tests and specification requirements, all to ensure accurate
reproduction of motion picture soundtracks and musical performances. All
aspects of power amplifier performance are thoroughly verified, to ensure
inaudible noise, wide dynamic range, extended frequency response with
accurate spectral response, and the ability to drive any modern loud-
speaker regardless of impedance or efficiency.
■Dual Monaural Configuration
Unlike conventional stereo power amplifiers, which rely upon a shared
power supply for both amp channels, the POA-5200 features Denon’s
perfect Dual Monaural Configuration, with a separate high current power
transformer and DC storage supply section for each amplifier channel.
This provides the widest dynamic range, along with tremendous reserve
capacity, compared to conventional stereo amplifiers.
■Stabilized DC Characteristics
The use of a FET for difference input of one package type with superior
direct current (DC) temperature characteristics and the ability to fine-adjust
each channel individually have realized a high precision of 1 mV or less
(standard value) in the output DC voltage of the POA-5200. This high-
precision voltage is approximately one tenth that of conventional models
and is the main reason these models are able to reproduce low-level
signals with such exceptional fidelity.
■A-B Speaker switching for each channel
One or two pairs of speakers can be connected to the POA-5200, and
each pair can be activated or deactivated via front panel A-B speaker
switching. Both pairs can be driven at once, if desired.
■Strictly Selected Parts for High Sound Quality
A large number of high-performance parts, such as the electrolytic
capacitor customized for high sound quality, OFC wiring material, film
capacitor and resistors, have all been subject to stringent listening tests
during their selection process to ensure unfettered, high-grade sound
reproduction.
■Remote Power ON/OFF
Rear panel mounted remote power on/off terminals are provided, for
connection to Denon components such as the AVR-4800, for one-button
power turn-on and turn-off convenience. This allows the power amplifier
to be mounted in an out-of-the-way location, thereby saving valuable
shelf space for more importantly accessible source components, for
example.
