Each year, dozens of European journalists gather to select the best electronic products of the year. Awarded by a diverse and impartial jury, the EISA (Expert Imaging and Sound Association) awards recognize exceptional products for their performance, design, or ergonomics.
The audio-video amplifier Onkyo TX-RZ50 is a 9.2-channel model capable of delivering 215W of power at 6 ohms. This product carries IMAX Enhanced and THX Certified Select certifications, attesting to its ability to deliver an unforgettable entertainment experience. Thanks to this technology, 8K HDR videos are optimized for video games and transmission is latency-free, allowing you to enjoy superior-quality entertainment.
Thanks to its high-current power supply, it delivers exceptional Dolby Atmos or DTS:X sound to your 5.2.4-channel speaker system. You can easily move through different spaces while continuing to enjoy your music with the three-zone amplified audio function. In addition, with the voice-controlled SMART AV Receiver suite, you can easily access streaming services. The amp is also compatible with the Sonos system and can stream music to headphones via bidirectional Bluetooth wireless technology.
With 75 years of hi-fi expertise and the design of custom RZ Series amplifiers certified THX Select and IMAX Enhanced, this model offers exceptional sound quality that will move you with emotion when listening to music, movie soundtracks, or video games. Dirac Live room correction further optimizes sound quality.
The HDMI 2.1 standard offers a wealth of features, such as 8K/60p signal transmission to a compatible display. HDR10 and HLG, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision optimize the picture by adjusting brightness, contrast, and colors on a frame-by-frame basis. The HDCP 2.3 standard is supported on all HDMI terminals, while the main eARC output enables multichannel audio (including Dolby Atmos or DTS:X) to be sent from the TV to the amp for decoding and amplification. In addition, the QMS (Quick Media Switching) function reduces blank screens that can occur when switching HDMI sources.
Treat yourself to an immersive entertainment experience using the Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio formats, which faithfully reproduce sound origins as you perceive them in real life and place them around your audience. With a 5.2.4 or 7.2.2 setup, you can enjoy 3D sound, or expand the system to 7.2.4 channels by connecting a stereo amplifier. You can also rediscover your favorite classic tracks with your height-capable system using Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X. These technologies analyze existing soundtracks to extract spatial cues and blend them for immersive 3D playback.
Enhance your gaming experience using cutting-edge HDMI features for gamers, including 3D audio, VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), and QFT (Quick Frame Transport). By eliminating lag, stutter, and screen tearing, these features help you gain an edge over your competitors by playing more smoothly and responsively in immersive virtual worlds.
Onkyo makes a successful return to the AV receiver segment with the TX-RZ50. This device has unique strengths, offering surround sound enthusiasts a different choice from what can be found elsewhere. The combination of a full Dirac system, numerous streaming options, a clear and precise interface, and fast reproduction of sound effects make this device an excellent choice for creating a better surround setup at home.

What can I say? If there were 10 stars to give, I would have given it 11. An amp I had wanted to buy for a very long time—now done—and perfect delivery, I recommend it 3,000 percent.
