Yamaha RX-A2A

The Yamaha RX-A2A is an AV receiver from the Aventage series, designed to meet the needs of movie and music enthusiasts. It incorporates advanced technologies and delivers refined sound quality, while adopting a design that is both understated and durable.

Controlled power for a cinematic experience

The RX-A2A is equipped with a 7.2-channel amplifier delivering 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 20 Hz – 20 kHz, 0.06% THD). This configuration allows you to create an immersive sound environment, ideal for 7.1 or 5.1.2 home theater setups with Dolby Atmos speakers. The audio processor supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X formats, offering three-dimensional sound spatialization for a highly realistic at-home cinematic experience.

Yamaha’s Cinema DSP 3D technology reproduces the most suitable sound field for your entertainment, while the powerful digital signal processing (DSP) can distribute a stereo soundtrack across all 7 speakers, including Atmos speakers, for optimal immersion.

Cutting-edge connectivity for gamers and 4K/8K cinema

The RX-A2A is future-ready with its HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 8K/60 Hz and 4K/120 Hz. It features 3 HDMI 2.1 inputs and 4 HDMI 2.0 inputs, offering maximum flexibility to connect your high-resolution video sources. These connections support the latest HDR technologies, including HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG, ensuring vibrant, detailed images.

For gamers, the RX-A2A includes essential features such as VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), QMS (Quick Media Switching), and QFT (Quick Frame Transport). These technologies ensure a smooth, responsive gaming experience, perfectly suited to next-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

A connected multimedia hub for all your content

Thanks to its advanced network connectivity, the RX-A2A becomes the heart of your home multimedia system. It includes Wi‑Fi, bidirectional Bluetooth, and is compatible with AirPlay 2 and Yamaha’s MusicCast. This versatility lets you easily stream your music from popular services such as Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, or access thousands of Internet radio stations.

The MusicCast Surround feature allows you to use compatible wireless speakers as surround speakers, simplifying the setup of your home theater system. In addition, voice control via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri makes everyday use of the receiver even more convenient and intuitive.

Audiophile design for impeccable sound quality

True to Yamaha’s Aventage philosophy, the RX-A2A benefits from meticulous design aimed at optimizing audio performance. Its reinforced chassis and five feet, including the fifth A.R.T. Wedge foot, help reduce vibrations and improve signal stability. The generous power supply and high-quality components, such as the 10,000 µF capacitor, contribute to rich, detailed sound reproduction.

The YPAO-RSC (Reflected Sound Control) acoustic calibration system analyzes your room’s acoustics and automatically adjusts audio settings to achieve the best possible sound in your specific environment. This technology ensures an optimal listening experience, regardless of your room layout.

Compatible with wireless rear speakers

Combine this AV receiver with the MusicCast 50 or MusicCast 20 wireless streaming speakers to create a Home Theater system with wireless surround sound.
