The current 7.2 generation with digital radio
Seven 95W channels, Dolby Atmos, DAB+ and HEOS for a modern theatre without stepping up to nine power stages.
The AVR-X2900H DAB is the latest 7.2 step in the X Series, offering 95W per channel, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding, and DAB+ reception. It is intended for an up-to-date 5.2.2 or 7.2 system that does not require the nine power stages and 11.4 processing of the models above. It raises power over the X1800H DAB while remaining simpler than the X3900H tier.
Key features
- 7.2 architecture rated at 95W per channel into 8 ohms
- Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for surround and height channels
- 8K HDMI connectivity for current video sources
- Integrated FM/DAB+ radio reception
- HEOS for streaming, home-network playback and multi-room audio
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2 and eARC
The 7.2 choice for buyers wanting the current platform
Its position should not be read from price alone: it is the current alternative for listeners who want digital radio, 8K video and seven channels in one component. HEOS accesses music services and network content and can share audio with other compatible devices. Gaming-oriented HDMI functions preserve smooth motion and low latency with suitable consoles and displays.
It is the logical choice when the design stops at two height channels and does not require extensive multichannel pre-outs. Where four independently managed subwoofers, processing up to 11.4 channels or optional Dirac calibration are needed, the X3900H marks the real change of scale.
The DAB+ tuner avoids an external component for digital stations available locally, while eARC receives compatible soundtracks from television apps. The seven-channel architecture remains easy to understand and wire, making it appropriate for a complete system without separate power amplifiers or a larger processing matrix.
