MM and MC phono equalizer
The PMA-900HNE includes a phono equalizer that supports input from both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges. The simple, straightforward design significantly improves sound quality. Denon Moving Coil (MC) phono preamps feature a low-noise circuit design for minimal signal distortion, and a high-precision equalizer circuit to restore the warmth and natural sound of vinyl. Denon Moving Magnet (MM) phono preamps feature a high-precision equalizer circuit to restore the warmth and natural sound of vinyl, and a low-noise signal path for improved fidelity.

110+ years of firsts in audio technology
Founded in 1910, Denon has a deep heritage of “firsts” in audio technology. This focused investment in audio R&D ensures you get the latest technology and highest quality with every listening experience.

Build integrity with thoughtfully selected components
With a more than 110-year legacy of designing premium audio components, trust that your Denon product is built to last.

Advanced High Current single push-pull circuit
The PMA-900HNE incorporates Advanced High Current (AHC) single push-pull circuitry adapted from high-end models to produce powerful sound with musical fidelity. The circuit patterns have been engineered to make signal paths as short as possible, reducing interference to reproduce sound that’s clean, highly transparent, and faithful to the original recording.

High precision electrical volume control with variable gain
The PMA-900HNE embraces electrical volume control while preserving the analog feeling of operation. The unique mechanism offers a smooth and absolutely channel-linear control of the master volume.

Vibration-resistant design for pristine sound
Vibration-resistant design reduces the adverse audio effects of heavy components within amplifiers resulting in pristine sound quality that meets Denon standards. Power transformers are fitted near the bottom and immediately above the insulators to prevent unwanted vibration.

Main transformer with individual wiring
Separate coiled wires for the audio and control circuits of the PMA-900HNE’s main power transformer eliminates interference and maintains exceptional sound quality.

Signal Level Divided Construction
The audio circuit uses the Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC) chassis developed by Denon to ensure that delicate
musical signals are faithfully amplified and transmitted to the speakers.

TV auto standby (digital input)
The PMA-900HNE includes auto-sensing to automatically switch the unit on when it senses digital audio signal from an external source like your TV.

Dedicated subwoofer output
Filtered (150Hz) subwoofer output performance if smaller speakers are used.

Pure Direct
Pure Directmode turns the display and the digital outputs off to minimize interference that might color the audio signal. What you hear is clean, detailed, accurate sound.

Roon Tested
Get more out of your digital music library with searchable, surfable information about your favorite artists and songs. Find lyrics, concert dates, photos, bios, reviews and more.

Josh.ai
Josh.ai offers flexible voice control for nearly any aspect of your entertainment environment. Use voice commands to control the thermostat, lights, home appliances, speakers, AV receiver, and more.
