YAMAHA RX-A2A 7.2 Channel Dolby Atmos Av Receiver With Musiccast Black

Yamaha RX-A2A Dolby Atmos & DTS:X AV Receiver – Premium Aventage Performance

Engineered for Excellence with Aventage Quality

The Yamaha RX-A2A stands as a testament to the renowned Aventage build philosophy. Its Anti-Resonance Technology (ART) ensures exceptional structural rigidity, minimising vibration and electrical interference. With a reinforced chassis, anti-vibration engineering, and Yamaha’s signature fifth damping foot, the RX-A2A delivers a cleaner, more accurate soundstage. Backed by 100 watts of power (8 ohms), it is well-equipped to drive a wide range of speakers with authority and clarity.

High Slew Rate Amplifier for Dynamic, Detailed Audio

Designed to master high-resolution sources, the RX-A2A’s high slew rate amplifier achieves fast, precise signal response. The result is audio that feels more dynamic, transparent, and lifelike—especially during demanding musical passages.

Dolby Atmos & DTS:X for True Immersion

Step into the heart of the action with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. These advanced formats use ceiling or upward-firing speakers to create a three-dimensional sound field, placing you at the centre of every scene—from rainfall to cinematic explosions. DTS Neural:X further enhances the listening experience with a heightened sense of realism.

Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization – Cinematic Elevation Without Extra Speakers

For homes where extra speakers aren’t an option, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization provides expanded height effects using your existing setup. Enjoy a more immersive experience with no additional hardware required. (Feature enabled via firmware update.)

8K and Next-Gen HDMI Support

Ready for the future of home entertainment, the RX-A2A features several HDMI inputs with support for 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz passthrough. Upscaling to 4K ensures crystal-clear visuals even from non-4K sources. (8K features available via firmware update.)

HDR10+, Dolby Vision & HLG Support

The receiver’s 7-in/1-out HDMI design ensures full system compatibility. HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG support provide deeper contrast, richer colours, and improved picture realism—ideal for the latest TVs and streaming content.

Optimised Gaming with Next-Level Responsiveness

Designed for modern gaming setups, the RX-A2A supports 4K/120Hz, VRR, QFT, and ALLM (via firmware update). Enjoy smoother visuals, reduced latency, and faster frame transitions—perfect for competitive and fast-paced gaming.

Cut the Cables with Wireless Surround

Pair the RX-A2A with Yamaha MusicCast 20 or MusicCast 50 speakers to create a wireless surround environment. It’s the ideal solution for rooms where running speaker cable isn’t practical or for anyone wanting a cleaner aesthetic.

Versatile Connectivity Including Phono Input

A generous range of inputs—digital optical, coaxial, HDMI, and analogue—ensures compatibility with all your AV components. Vinyl enthusiasts will appreciate the dedicated MM phono input, while Zone 2 output allows audio playback in an additional room.

MusicCast – Multi-Room Audio Made Simple

The RX-A2A integrates effortlessly into Yamaha’s MusicCast ecosystem. Stream music throughout your home, control playback via smartphone, and enjoy voice assistant compatibility via Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.*
