Yamaha introduces a new benchmark audio streaming for home theater receiver performance: the RX-Z11. The new flagship takes high end receiver evolution to another level with an enormous range of exciting features, capabilities and cutting edge technologies. The RX-Z11 performance sets a new standard in home theater experience.
When it comes to top-shelf stereo receivers, Yamaha’s new RX-Z11 sets a high bar for feature-rich high definition amplifiers. Sure, it’s got your XM-HD, HD Radio, Dolby True HD, and neural surround. Yeah it’s Made for iPod, XM Ready, and it’s got network connectivity for getting your Windows Media Player on. But those are all just table stakes for modern HD-capable receivers, and the RX-Z11 is a high roller. It’s got support for HDMI 1.3a, and it can upscale video all the way to 1080p, or drop the res down to 480. It’s also the first receiver on the market to use THX Loudness Plus — a back-end audio feature designed to let you play movies at low volumes without sacrificing any surround sound details. (Typically, movies are optimized for theater-level volumes — not living room.) Although we were initially skeptical, this worked quite well, letting us pick up intricate spatial details of our favorite flicks without blowing out our eardrums or making enemies of the new neighbors.
But when you are ready to pump the volume, the RX-Z11 can handle just about any speaker configuration you want to throw at it. The rig supports up to 11 total speakers: six surround, center channel, and two presence speakers in both the front and rear. And that little .2 designation? It means you can pump your bass across dual stereo subwoofers. Best yet, the manual has clear diagrams on how to set up everything from a full 11.2 party mover to a puzzling-given-the-price-tag 2.1 bare bones setup.
Yamaha takes receiver evolution to a new peak with an enormous range of exciting capabilities.
