The end of the road: the AVC-A1H as the new flagship AV amplifier. It comes with 15 amplifier channels for 6,999 euros and is already aimed at professional cinema equipment. In addition to 3D sound, many other technical delicacies are housed here. In addition to the fully 8K-compatible HDMI inputs, up to four subwoofers can be powered via corresponding outputs, optionally also XLR. As with the little brothers from the X series (AVC-X4800H and AVC-X3800H), a software update for Dirac Live is also promised here via software update.
