Yamaha Debuts AVENTAGE RX-A 80 Series Of AV Receivers With Artificial Intelligence (AI) In India

Yamaha Music India, a subsidiary of Yamaha Corporation, Japan, announced the India debut of its revolutionary AVENTAGE RX-A 80 series of AV receivers equipped with SURROUND:AI™, a proprietary, next -generation artificial intelligence technology that promises to deliver the best in class home theater experience. The RX- A80 series comprises 4 receivers – RX-A1080, RX-A2080, RX-A3080 and RX-A880 and Pre-amp CX-A5200.

SURROUND:AI™, a next-generation artificial intelligence technology, which makes for a clearer, more engaging listening experience by automatically adjusting surround field effects on the fly to match the scene setting. SURROUND:AI™ automatically tailors audio performance to match individual scenes in a movie or TV show. In real time and on a scene-by-scene basis, SURROUND:AI™ analyzes a scene's audio characteristics, including dialog, sound effects and channel balance. The AV receiver then compares the scene's audio characteristics to a reference database of movie scenes and automatically processes the scene's sound field to enhance the audio experience.

For example, SURROUND: AI™ makes dialog more intelligible in scenes with lots of background noise, it delivers massive, full-bodied sound for scenes with big sound effects and it ensures that viewers can hear softly spoken dialog and faint background sounds. For movie enthusiasts, all receivers play back immersive 3D object-based Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X™ soundtracks, which add height channels to traditional surround sound systems. Individual sounds move seamlessly up and down, from left to right and from front to back, adding realism to scenes in which planes fly overhead, rain pounds down on the roof, or insects buzz around and over listeners.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Keegan Paes, Asst. Manager Marketing, Yamaha Music India Pvt Ltd, said, ‘The AVENTAGE RX- A 80 series of AV receivers is a breakthrough offering from Yamaha Music that combines our proprietary, next generation artificial intelligence technology SURROUND: AI™ to deliver the most advanced cinematic surround sound experience in homes. Its state-of-the-art configuration options and unparalleled versatility satisfy the most demanding whole-of-home applications while being intuitively simple to use. Music and movie enthusiasts will certainly love our new offering."

Born from the Yamaha legacy of tonal quality and craftsmanship, AVENTAGE receivers are built with the highest-quality components that are meticulously matched to provide the ultimate sonic experience. Refinements include a choice of electronic components that suppress digital noise and vibrations that reduce audio quality, a sturdy frame-and-beam chassis with a fifth foot to dampen sound-degrading resonances, and an aluminum front panel that shields sensitive internal circuitry from electronic noise generated by dimmer switches and other home electronics.
