Denon PMA-900HNE – Integrated Network Amplifier with HEOS® Built-in
The Denon PMA-900HNE is a 2-channel integrated network amplifier combining Denon's Advanced High Current amplification with extensive analogue, digital and wireless connectivity. It delivers 50W per channel into 8Ω and 85W per channel into 4Ω, while HEOS® Built-in provides network music streaming through Wi-Fi, Ethernet, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth. An integrated MM/MC phono stage, digital inputs and subwoofer pre-out make it a versatile centrepiece for a modern Hi-Fi system.

System Integration
The PMA-900HNE can serve as the central component of a modern stereo Hi-Fi system, combining amplification and network streaming in a single unit. Turntables with MM or MC cartridges, analogue sources, TVs and other digital sources can connect directly, while HEOS® Built-in, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth provide wireless streaming. A dedicated subwoofer pre-out also allows easy integration of an active subwoofer.
