The HEOS AMP is a stereo power amplifier with built-in HEOS streaming from Denon, a well-established Japanese manufacturer, built for genuine multi-room audio distribution without requiring a separate preamplifier or streaming component. The HEOS AMP brings Denon's considered engineering to a comprehensive networked amplification solution.

Key specs that matter

Input sensitivity is 150mV, with input impedance at 47k ohms single-ended. Output power is 70W into 8 ohms. Frequency response spans a wide 10Hz to 40,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 86dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.5% with full global feedback. At 93 x 221 x 214mm and 2.8kg, the HEOS AMP maintains a compact footprint for a complete networked amplification solution.

Sound and use context

Expect dependable, straightforward amplification combined with Denon's HEOS multi-room streaming platform built directly into this compact chassis, letting a buyer add a capable networked zone anywhere in a home.

Pairing

The built-in HEOS platform lets the HEOS AMP stream directly from compatible services without needing a separate source component, connecting directly to any passive loudspeaker pair.

Alternatives

Denon's broader HEOS-equipped catalogue, including the PMA-900HNE integrated amplifier and HEOS Link HS2 preamplifier, offers alternatives for buyers wanting HEOS streaming in a different product category.
