Denon AVR-X2900H DAB

The Denon AVR-X2900H DAB is a seven-channel AV receiver engineered to deliver genuinely immersive home cinema sound — with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced support built in, 8K-ready HDMI connectivity, and the addition of DAB+ digital radio for those who want the full breadth of broadcast audio alongside their home cinema system. Precise, powerful, and uncompromising, the AVR-X2900H DAB sets a new standard for what a seven-channel receiver can achieve.

Seven Channels, Full Immersive Audio

The AVR-X2900H DAB delivers seven channels of discrete amplification, supporting full 5.1.2 and 7.1 Dolby Atmos configurations with up-firing or ceiling-mounted speakers for genuine three-dimensional height sound. Where a full height speaker installation is not possible, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation Technology and DTS Virtual:X deliver a compelling simulation of overhead sound from a conventional speaker layout — ensuring the AVR-X2900H DAB delivers an immersive soundstage regardless of room constraints. IMAX Enhanced certification ensures that IMAX-mastered content is reproduced with the precise tonal balance and spatial accuracy the format demands.

DAB+ Digital Radio — Built In

The inclusion of DAB+ digital radio makes the AVR-X2900H DAB a uniquely versatile proposition — a full-featured AV receiver that doubles as a high-quality digital radio tuner without the need for an additional component. Over 40 presets allow instant recall of favourite stations, whilst the clear on-screen display makes station browsing effortless. For those who listen to radio as much as they watch films, the AVR-X2900H DAB eliminates the compromise between home cinema and broadcast audio.

8K-Ready HDMI Connectivity

The AVR-X2900H DAB features six HDMI inputs — three supporting 8K pass-through and 4K/120Hz — alongside two HDMI outputs, ensuring complete compatibility with the latest display technology. HDCP 2.3 copy protection is supported throughout, as is Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, Dynamic HDR, and HLG broadcast HDR — delivering images of extraordinary depth and colour fidelity from every source. Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and Quick Frame Transport (QFT) add gaming-grade performance to the AVR-X2900H DAB's already comprehensive feature set.

Audyssey MultEQ XT Room Correction

Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction technology analyses your listening environment using the supplied calibration microphone and applies precision speaker timing and equalisation across the full frequency range. Dynamic Volume and Dynamic EQ maintain tonal balance at every listening level — from late-night low-volume listening to full cinematic output — whilst the optional MultEQ Editor App unlocks advanced manual adjustment for the dedicated enthusiast who wants complete control over every parameter of the room correction process.

HEOS Multiroom and Wireless Streaming

HEOS built-in connects the AVR-X2900H DAB to your home network via dual-band Wi-Fi, enabling wireless music streaming and synchronisation with HEOS-enabled speakers throughout your home. Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, and internet radio are all accessible via the dedicated HEOS app, with Apple AirPlay 2 adding Siri voice control and multiroom audio synchronisation with other AirPlay 2 devices. Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility completes an unrivalled suite of wireless control options.
