Denon AVR-X2900H DAB

The Denon AVR-X2900H DAB sets a new standard for immersive home cinema at its price point — a seven-channel AV receiver engineered to deliver Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced surround sound with authority, alongside 8K-ready HDMI connectivity, DAB+ digital radio, and a suite of wireless streaming that transforms your listening room into a genuine home theatre. Precise, powerful, and uncompromising in every respect.

Seven Channels of Discrete Power

Rated at 95W per channel (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD, 2 channels driven), the AVR-X2900H DAB delivers clean, controlled amplification across a full seven-channel speaker configuration — with the authority to drive even demanding loudspeakers with complete composure. Two dedicated subwoofer outputs allow flexible bass management, whether running a single subwoofer or distributing low-frequency energy across two positions for a smoother, more even response across the room.

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced

The AVR-X2900H DAB supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X natively — immersive audio formats that place sound in three-dimensional space above and around the listener with extraordinary precision. IMAX Enhanced certification ensures that IMAX-mastered content is reproduced with the exact tonal balance and spatial accuracy the format demands. 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 an immersive soundstage regardless of room constraints.

DAB+ Digital Radio — Built In

The AVR-X2900H DAB includes a built-in DAB+ tuner, bringing high-quality digital radio directly into your home cinema system without the need for a separate component. Over 40 presets allow instant recall of favourite stations, making it effortless to move between broadcast audio and cinematic surround sound from a single, elegantly integrated unit.

8K-Ready HDMI Connectivity

Six HDMI inputs — three supporting 8K pass-through and 4K/120Hz — and two HDMI outputs ensure complete compatibility with the latest display technology. HDCP 2.3 copy protection is supported throughout, alongside Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, Dynamic HDR, and HLG broadcast HDR — delivering images of extraordinary depth, contrast, and colour fidelity from every source. Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and Quick Frame Transport (QFT) add gaming-grade performance, ensuring the AVR-X2900H DAB is equally at home in a dedicated gaming setup as in a cinema room.

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. The optional MultEQ Editor App unlocks advanced manual adjustment for the 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. Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility completes an unrivalled suite of wireless control options. Bluetooth headphone transmission is also supported — ideal for late-night listening without disturbing others.

Technical Specifications

Who Is It For?

The AVR-X2900H DAB is the natural choice for anyone building a capable, flexible home cinema system who also wants DAB+ digital radio built in — eliminating the need for a separate tuner and simplifying the entire system. It suits those stepping up from a soundbar or entry-level receiver who want genuine Dolby Atmos performance, 8K video readiness, and the ability to expand over time. Those ready to move to nine channels and Audyssey MultEQ XT32 should consider the Denon AVC-X3800H, whilst those seeking Dirac Live room correction as standard will find the Denon AVC-X3900H a compelling step forward.
