Denon PMA-800NE 2-Channel Integrated Amplifier – B-Stock

Denon PMA-800NE Integrated Stereo Amplifier – B-Stock

The Denon PMA-800NE Integrated Stereo Amplifier is a compact 2-channel integrated amplifier designed for home hi-fi systems that need both analog and digital source support. This Denon PMA-800NE Integrated Stereo Amplifier offers vinyl listeners and music enthusiasts a single, affordable component that handles turntables, line sources, and multiple digital inputs in a traditional hi-fi form factor.

Integrated solution for analog and digital sources

The PMA-800NE combines the power amplifier section with tone controls, a built-in MM/MC phono preamplifier, and an 192 kHz/24bit DAC. Therefore, it can connect a turntable, CD player, network player, TV, or other media sources without needing separate external boxes.

• Built-in MM/MC phono equalizer for direct connection of turntables, including support for low-output MC cartridges.
• Multiple digital inputs (3 optical and 1 coaxial) with on-board D/A conversion for TVs, streaming boxes, and other digital sources.
• Line inputs for CD, network players, AUX, and recorder connections.
• Headphone jack and recorder output for flexible listening and recording options.

Designed for focused, analog sound

This amplifier includes features that support more purist listening modes when desired. Because Source Direct and Analog Mode are available, users can bypass or shut down unnecessary digital and processing circuitry to prioritize the analog signal path.

• Source Direct mode for a more direct signal path from the selected input.
• Analog Mode that disables digital circuitry and inputs
• Tone controls with bass, treble, and balance adjustments for tailoring the sound.

Power and control for a range of speakers

The PMA-800NE is a 2-channel integrated amplifier powered by a Denon Advanced High Current (AHC) single push-pull circuit power amp. It is rated at 50 W + 50 W into 8 Ω and 85 W + 85 W into 4 Ω, which suits many bookshelf and small floor standing speakers.

• Advanced High Current (AHC) single push-pull circuit featuring transistors with 2-3x the electrical current supply capacity of conventional audio power transistors.
• Rated output power of 50 W + 50 W (8 Ω, 20 Hz–20 kHz, THD 0.07%) and 85 W + 85 W (4 Ω, 1 kHz, THD 0.7%).
• Two speaker terminal pairs (A/B) for switching between two sets of speakers or bi-wiring.

Noise-reduction and chassis design technologies

Denon incorporates several internal design elements in the PMA-800NE to help protect audio signals from interference. These technologies are intended to reduce noise from digital circuits and mechanical vibration.

• Signal Level Divided Construction (S.L.D.C.) chassis and Direct Mechanical Ground Construction to isolate and protect delicate audio signals from mechanical and electrical interference.
• Microprocessor Stop Mode that stops microprocessor clock oscillation when not required for playback, reducing microprocessor-related noise during listening.

Practical form factor for home hi-fi

The Denon PMA-800NE is designed as a compact, affordable, musically focused integrated amplifier for desktop and small living room hi-fi systems. It can sit as the central component in a system that includes a turntable, digital sources, and speakers.

• Remote control included for convenient operation.
• Power consumption of 200 W in operation with 0.3 W in standby.

Frequently Questions

• Can the Denon PMA-800NE connect both a turntable and digital sources?

  Yes. It includes a built-in MM/MC phono equalizer for turntables and multiple digital inputs (3 optical and 1 coaxial) with an internal D/A converter for digital sources such as TVs, streaming boxes, and CD players.

• What kind of speakers can the PMA-800NE drive?

  The amplifier is rated at 50 W + 50 W into 8 Ω and 85 W + 85 W into 4 Ω, with Advanced High Current (AHC) single push-pull circuitry. It is targeted at home hi-fi systems with moderately efficient bookshelf or small floor standing speakers and supports speaker impedances from 4–16 Ω for a single pair and 8–16 Ω for A + B operation.

• How does Source Direct / Analog Mode affect listening?

  Source Direct and Analog Mode allow the PMA-800NE to bypass or shut down unnecessary digital and processing circuitry. Source Direct Mode bypasses the tone control circuits for higher fidelity, and Analog Mode closes power to all digital circuitry to act as a purely analog amp.

• Does the PMA-800NE include any noise-reduction technologies?

  Yes. It features Microprocessor Stop Mode, which ceases microprocessor operations when not required for playback, and uses Signal Level Divided Construction and Direct Mechanical Ground Construction to help isolate audio signals from mechanical and electrical interference.

• Is the Denon PMA-800NE suitable as a one-box solution for an entry- to mid-level system?

  The PMA-800NE is an affordable, musically focused integrated amplifier aimed at entry- to mid-level audiophiles and music enthusiasts who want a simple one-box solution with both analog and digital inputs, including MM/MC phono support.
