Yamaha RX-A6A 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 immediately analyzes scenes by focusing on specific sound elements such as dialogue, background music, ambient noise and sound effects and 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. AI technology creates a convincingly realistic impression with expressive performance that goes beyond traditional sound field effects, giving you the most immersive entertainment experience possible. Qualcomm® QCS407 with high-precision 64-bit processing delivers precise surround sound.

CINEMA DSP HD3 for films, music and gaming

Yamaha's cutting-edge 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.

Dolby Atmos® with height virtualization

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, or use all seven channels to effectively simulate 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 with the Dolby Surround upmixer for older content.

DTS:X®

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.

AURO-3D* with Yamaha RX-A6A

The magic of AURO-3D® technologies lies in their ability to transform any space and any content. AURO-3D delivers a completely transformative, breathtaking and immersive sound experience every time. AURO's unique vertical stereo field allows sound to move around us as we are used to in everyday life, creating a powerful soundscape that transports us into the world of the content we select.

Escape into history, lose yourself in music, experience every moment and emotion as nature intended.

Hear more, feel more with AURO-3D.

Sound improvement for digitally compressed music (Compressed Music Enhancer)

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.

Advantages of high slew rate amplifiers

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 high slew rate with stable signal transmission.

High quality digital components

Qualcomm® QCS407 is designed to deliver outstanding audio performance. It supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for an immersive home audio experience. Additionally, it has a special high-performance audio DSP.

The Yamaha uses ESS' state-of-the-art 32-bit SABER PRO Premier DAC ES9026PRO. This DAC minimizes noise levels through the patented 32-bit Hyper Stream Total Distortion (THD) compensation feature.

Combined with Yamaha's original DOPG (DAC on Pure Ground) concept, which eliminates the potential difference between audio stages, ground noise is reduced. This improves silence and resolution across the entire audio range, enabling rich and expressive reproduction of even the finest nuances.

Wedge with anti-resonance technology

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

Redesigned mechanical structure on RX-A6A

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. A

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+*

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.

8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz*

The Yamaha RX-A6A supports end-to-end 8K/4K resolutions as well as higher refresh rates via a redesigned HDMI cable to ensure seamless integration into the HDMI ecosystem. With 8K you get a highly immersive moving image with twice the horizontal and vertical resolution compared to 4K and four times as many pixels. Combined with a refresh rate of 60 Hz, this provides a smooth and crisp motion image, even with rapid image changes.

With support for 4K/120 Hz, ultra-fast moving images can be played back in higher contrast and razor-sharp UHD quality. This makes sports broadcasts, action films, powerful gaming systems and VR experiences much more enjoyable and impressive.

Yamaha RX-A6A offers special gaming function (ALLM, VRR, QMS, QFT)*

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 (with 3D, multi-point measurement and high-precision 64-bit EQ)

The Yamaha system's YPAO-RSC (Reflected Sound Control) uses the included YPAO microphone to analyze room acoustics and tune the system for the ultimate sound in each room. RSC corrects early reflections, resulting in studio-quality sound.

YPAO 3D automatically adjusts sound parameters to maximize the effectiveness of the 3D sound field with CINEMA AI 3D, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The high-precision 64-bit EQ calculation ensures absolutely natural room acoustics.

Compatible with the wireless rear speakers

Combine the Yamaha RX-A6A with the 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.
