The Denon PMA-800NE is a high-performance stereo integrated amplifier designed for audiophiles seeking a balance of power, clarity, and versatility. It delivers 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 85 watts per channel into 4 ohms, powered by Denon's Advanced High Current (AHC) single push-pull circuit amplifier. It supports high-resolution digital audio playback with a built-in 24-bit/192kHz DAC and features three optical and one coaxial digital inputs for connecting modern digital sources such as TVs, Blu-ray players, and network music players. The amplifier includes a built-in phono equalizer compatible with both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, enabling direct connection of turntables. An Analog Mode disables digital circuitry to reduce noise and enhance analog source purity. The design incorporates vibration-resistant construction with a rigid steel plate supporting the power transformer to minimize interference and preserve sound clarity. Additional features include front-panel tone controls, A/B speaker switching for two pairs of speakers, a headphone amplifier with a 1/4-inch jack, and a remote control. The chassis uses Denon's proprietary Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC) to separate audio circuits and reduce crosstalk. The PMA-800NE is compatible with speaker loads from 4 to 16 ohms and includes outputs for recording devices. Dimensions are approximately 17-1/8" W x 4-13/16" H x 12-1/8" D, weighing 16.5 lbs. It comes with a 3-year warranty and is available in black.
