Move on up from a soundbar and enjoy the thrill of cinema sound, with the Yamaha RX-V4A.
Fully immersive sound With multi-channel Dolby and DTS sound, the Yamaha RX-V4A delivers an enveloping sound that soundbars simply can’t match. Taking this further, Yamaha’s unique Cinema DSP 3D system offers 17 DSP programmes for a huge variety of soundscapes. From concert halls to music clubs around the world, Cinema DSP recreates unique acoustics for that feeling of ‘being there’.
Powerful precision For precise, dynamic sound, the Yamaha RX-V4A uses a high slew rate amplifier. Ideal for HiRes music and home cinema, the amp powers your music or soundtracks with gusto – keeping you on the edge of your seat during action movies or gaming, and totally bewitched by your favourite music. This design of amplifier can be tricky to optimise, but Yamaha’s unique design achieves dynamic scale while also maintaining a stable signal transmission.
Surround sound, untied For an easy way to reduce cabling, the RX-V4A offers the option of wireless rear speakers. Combine this receiver with the Yamaha MusicCast 20 or MusicCast 50 speakers and you can leave aside speaker cable connections. Perfect if you have a solid floor and struggle to hide speaker cable or if you simply want a cleaner style, wireless surround speakers cut down on the clutter.
Compatible with the next generation of high resolution – 8K* Featuring a dedicated, 8K compliant HDMI input and matching output, this Yamaha AVR is ready for the next generation of TV. If you’ve not yet made the jump to 8K TV, the socket also handles up to 4K/120Hz signals, for the highest quality pass through. Upscaling to UHD 4K is also standard. *via firmware update.
Supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+* Using a 4/1 (in/out) HDMI interface, the RX-V4A supports your full system. It also supports a wide range of High Dynamic Range video formats. These include Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. It also supports HDR10+, which enhances picture realism by sending dynamic Meta data to your TV. *via firmware update.
Game on* The latest HDMI support also marks a big improvement in gaming. 4K/120Hz and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support maximise resolution and clarity. Quick Frame Transport (QFT) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) help eliminate lag and frame tearing, giving you a smoother, more responsive gaming experience. *via firmware update.
MusicCast for music all around your home The Yamaha RX-V4A is part of Yamaha's hugely impressive network audio system, MusicCast. With MusicCast you control all your compatible Yamaha MusicCast products via your smartphone or even Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant by voice*. Play the same music on all the components or split the sound into different zones for different moods in each room; the choice is yours. The MusicCast CONTROLLER app lets you operate the system around your home and change settings quickly and easily. *requires third party Alexa or Google device.
Stream the best music services Compatible with Amazon Music, Spotify Premium, Pandora, Napster, Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz, the RXV4A is fully equipped for your favourite music streaming service. With Tidal and Qobuz already offering higher resolution playback, it’s now possible to find a streaming service that at least matches the quality of CD and, in some cases, even improves upon it.
Advanced networking including Apple AirPlay and Bluetooth As well as MusicCast, the RX-V4A is also compatible with Apple AirPlay 2, letting you stream music from your Apple iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad or other compatible Apple device, wirelessly, around your home. Just ask Siri where you want the music to play. For a quick and easy connection with your smartphone, use the Bluetooth connection for easy music streaming.
Sleek new style If you’re used to AV receivers being all bulk and buttons, the RX-V4A will come as a pleasant surprise. Rounded edges give a softer, less imposing style. Yamaha has also kept the button count to a minimum, giving this AVR a much cleaner and fresher aesthetic.
For the best in cinema-style entertainment, stay at home with the Yamaha RX-V4A.
”Wharfedale’s smallest home cinema speaker package delivers big sound.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 award-winner.
Award-winning heritage Following on from the DX-2, perhaps the most highly reviewed speaker package in its category, the DX-3 has an unbeatable heritage of excellence. The winning form continues with the latest speakers, which are closely related to Wharfedale’s equally renowned Diamond 12 series. With such a blend of talent in the mix, it’s little wonder that the Wharfedale DX-3 sounds so impressive.
Full-range satellite speakers for dynamic sound Based on Wharfedale’s Diamond 12 series technology, the four satellite speakers deliver a much fuller and more rounded sound than most satellite designs. Although slightly larger than some, the benefit to sound quality is huge. All four speakers are a two-way design with dedicated silk dome tweeter and woven polypropylene woofer. Along with the rigid cabinets, it’s these drivers that produce the precise, dynamic sound that’s perfect for delivering immersive soundtracks and special effects around your room.
Dedicated centre speaker delivers vocal clarity Designed specifically for the purpose, the DX-3’s centre speaker utilises an aperiodic layout for the clearest vocals. The horizontal format speaker uses twin woofers, giving you a broad spread of sound between the front speakers, without ‘gaps’ in the sound stage. The design also helps tie the sound to the screen, especially when used with a large screen TV or projector.
Powerful bass response For that edge-of-seat, cinematic thrill, a powerful bass response is a must, and that’s exactly what the DX-3’s subwoofer provides. With its 8” cone and 75 watt active amplifier, it masters every bass scenario with ease. From an energetic soundtrack to a stadium rock concert, the bass is always there to be felt as well as heard. Auto on/off means that you can place the subwoofer out of sight, without having to reach the controls. Phase inversion lets you position the subwoofer behind you, if needed.
Choice of finish Available in Black oak or Walnut finishes, the DX-3 speaker pack makes a great match for a wide range of decors. Should you choose to upgrade any of the speakers, such as swapping the front speakers for floorstanders, you’ll find the finishes and aesthetics tie in well with Wharfedale’s other speaker ranges.
For a home cinema speaker package that sparkles with talent, take a listen to the Wharfedale DX-3.
