Yamaha RX-A4A with SURROUND:AI™

The AI ​​technology built into the DSP analyzes the entertainment content scene and then creates the optimal surround effect to reproduce it with the ultimate impact. This AI analyzes scenes immediately by focusing on specific sound elements such as dialogue, background music, ambient noise and sound effects. This automatically optimizes the surround effect in real time.

Imagine a Yamaha sound engineer tuning the best sound live and specifically for you while you listen to music. The AI ​​technology creates a convincingly realistic impression with expressive performance. Conventional sound field effects are supplemented and optimized. It offers you as deep an entertainment experience as possible. Qualcomm® QCS407 with high-precision 64-bit processing delivers precise surround sound.


Yamaha's highest quality 3D sound field reproduction technology was developed by combining actual measured sound field data with state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology. The redesigned CINEMA DSP HD3 features new signal processing algorithms and maximizes movie theater sound effects, creating a new dimension of realism.

This creates a sound field with an intense feeling of presence and without the impression of boundaries. By using front, center and surround speakers to create a virtual rear speaker, CINEMA DSP HD3 playback of up to 11.1 channels is possible even with a 7.1 channel speaker configuration*.

* Requires connection of a front presence speaker.


If you don't have ceiling speakers or upward-firing speakers, there is Dolby Atmos with height virtualization. This system simulates the Atmos sound experience with front-facing speakers. You can configure up to five speakers to have the same effect as two ceiling speakers. Alternatively, you can set all seven channels for an effective simulation of four overhead speakers.

Feel Dolby Atmos in every dimension. Combine a 5.1 surround system with two additional overhead speakers or two Dolby Atmos height speakers to create dramatic overhead effects with a truly room-filling soundstage. All this with the Dolby Surround upmixer for older content.


The immersive audio formatting DTS:X maps the sound where it would naturally occur in the room, creating a lifelike, multi-dimensional sound experience. With DTS Neural:X™'s built-in spatial remapping engine, immerse yourself in your favorite films and enjoy even more realistic movie viewing.


When encoding music into a digital, compressed format, such as MP3, the frequency response is affected. Yamaha's Compressed Music Enhancer uses exclusive algorithms in digital signal processing that restore lost quality. This way the music sounds the way it should! Fresh and balanced.


A new circuit that doubles the slew rate produces precise signal transmission and is particularly suitable for high-resolution audio signals. Often, high slew rate amplifiers cause unstable signal transmission, but Yamaha's newly developed circuit achieves a high slew rate with stable signal transmission.


Qualcomm® QCS407 is designed to deliver outstanding audio performance, with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for immersive home audio, as well as a dedicated high-performance audio DSP.

The Yamaha RX-A4a uses the SABER ES9007S Premier Audio DAC to achieve professional sound reproduction of digital audio signals with an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and a dynamic range of up to 120 dB.


The newly developed Anti Resonance Technology (ART) wedge forms a fifth foot in the center of the chassis base. This dampens much more of the vibrations generated by power transformers, power transistors and heat sinks, as well as the vibrations that can be caused by the sound emitted by the speakers, providing dynamic sound and focused, precise reproduction.


The highly logical and symmetrical internal layout of components and completely redesigned boards are designed to keep the signal paths on each board as short as possible. The new H-cross frame improves the rigidity of the receiver body and sound stability, enabling clearer, sharper and more transparent reproduction.

In addition, the newly designed mechanical structure helps to avoid the transfer of vibrations from the transformer to the amplifier circuit. Noise is reduced to improve clarity.


HDR10+ not only stands for a dynamic spectrum (light-dark ratio) in video content from scene to scene (or even from frame to frame). With a small amount of metadata, it also represents the scene characteristics between light and dark, preserving important details. This allows the images - and therefore the filmmaker's intentions - to be reproduced more realistically on the screen.

* This feature is available via firmware update.


Supports end-to-end 8K/4K resolutions and higher refresh rate solutions with a single redesigned cable for seamless integration into the HDMI ecosystem. 8K creates a super-immersive moving image with twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of 4K and four times as many pixels.

In combination with the refresh rate of 60 Hz, the result is a smooth, sharp motion image even when changing images quickly. Thanks to 4K/120 Hz, ultra-fast moving images in UHD can be reproduced with high contrast and razor-sharp, making sports, action films, high-performance gaming systems and VR much more pleasant to watch.

* This feature is available via firmware update.


The expanded gaming and media functions ensure even more seamless movements and transitions when playing games, films and videos. The Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) enables the ideal latency to be automatically set for a smooth, delay-free and uninterrupted motion image with interactivity. Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) reduces or eliminates lag, stuttering images and screen tearing to create a smooth, detailed gaming experience.

Quick Media Switching (QMS) for movies and videos eliminates delays that can result in black screens before content playback. Quick Frame Transport (QFT) reduces gaming latency to enable smooth, lag-free gaming with real-time interactive VR.


YPAO-RSC (Reflected Sound Control) analyzes room acoustics with the included YPAO microphone to tune your system for the ultimate sound in a given room. RSC corrects early reflections to achieve studio-quality sound. YPAO 3D provides automatic adjustment of sound parameters, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of the 3D sound field with CINEMA AI 3D, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The high-precision 64-bit EQ calculation achieves room acoustics that appear absolutely natural.


Combine the Yamaha RX-A4A with the MusicCast 50 or MusicCast 20 wireless streaming speakers to easily set up a home theater with wireless surround sound. Experience immersive, realistic sound with intuitive, hassle-free setup. How to transform your living room into an entertainment room where you can enjoy films and music to the fullest.


Yamaha's design and craftsmanship create a visual and aural work of art.

The flawless chassis construction ensures even more stable performance.

A beautiful shape that deepens the uniqueness of AVENTAGE and further reinforces the important acoustic authority.

The visually improved AVENTAGE continues to reflect tradition while implementing new design principles. He demonstrates the most innovative and inspiring engineering work.
