The Denon PMA-2000IVR teams up high-end circuitry, massive guts,...A dream come true for music lovers everywhere! The Denon PMA-2000IVR teams up high-end circuitry, massive guts, and ultra-sturdy construction for spectacular results. Because it incorporates an amplifier and a preamplifer into one chassis, you can plug your source components directly into this unit for breathtaking stereo sound. Or, if you prefer, theres also a power amp direct input that lets you employ the PMA-2000IVRs amplification in conjunction with a separate preamplifier.To ensure consistently stellar sound, Denons engineers have poured meticulous care into every aspect of the PMA-2000IVRs design and construction. First and foremost, an ultra-high-current UHC-MOS single push-pull circuit amplifies your music with a perfect balance of power and precision. Its capable of conveying the most delicate musical nuances while delivering 3 to 10 times the peak current of conventional MOSFET amplifiers. The amplifier blocks twin monaural configuration prevents any possible interference between the left and right channels.The chassis is divided into 6 heavily shielded blocks that rigorously isolate each dedicated set of circuits. Twin transformers employ a leakage-canceling mount to squash magnetic interference and flux leakage, ensuring low noise within the amp and transparent speaker output. Radiators dampened with elastic rubber are situated near the PMA-2000IVRs vibration-absorbing feet, to minimize music-muddying resonance from the power transformers and other sources.This integrated amplifier is designed to deliver superb sound from a wide variety of sources, digital and analog. Vinyl fans will love the care that Denon has lavished on the phono section — it accommodates both moving-magnet and moving-coil turntables, and the phono equalizer gets its own shielded, dedicated power supply. Wide-range frequency response lets you experience all the details on your LPs, CDs, and even high-resolution SACDs and DVD-Audio discs in stereo mode.Details:80 watts x 2 channels into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.07% THD — or 160 watts x 2 into 4 ohmsultra-high-current MOS single push-pull circuitrypower amp direct inputheavily shielded, 6-block chassis designadvanced anti-resonant constructiontwin transformers with leakage-canceling mountlarge-capacity electrolytic block capacitorswide-range frequency response (10-100,000 Hz)7 audio inputs (including phono)preamp-level outputgold-plated speaker binding posts2 sets of speaker outputs 17-1/8W x 7-1/8H x 19-5/8D FeaturesUHC-MOS: The ultra-high-current (UHC) MOS single push-pull amplifier technology drives difficult speaker loads while preserving the delicate details of high quality recordings. This amp is capable of delivering peak current as much as 3 to 10 times that of a standard MOS-FET device, resulting in a balance between the power to drive the speakers and the ability to maintain the integrity of delicate musical nuances.Twin Transformers: The Leakage Canceling (LC) Mounted Twin Transformers employ a large magnetic circuit with low magnetic flux density, this serves to eliminate interference caused by magnetic fields. The result is a transparent speaker output, low noise, and broad dynamic range.Dynamic Power Circuit: High-current Schottky barrier diodes in the rectifier circuit were selected for their low noise characteristics and high speed response to provide high power support for the UHC-MOS. This combined with Denons new large capacity block type electrolytic capacitor supplies plenty of clean current required by the speakers for the entire audible frequency range.Divided Chassis: 1.6mm steel plates divide the chassis into six blocks, separating the two mono amplifier blocks and the preamp sections to prevent any noise from leaking into the preamp signal.Wide Frequency Range: High end audio formats like DVD-Audio and SACD are supported by the 10Hz-100kHz frequency response of this amp.Precision Signal Ground: Carefully placing ground points throughout the power amp stage helps to maintain clean, transparent sound by amplifying the signal under ideal conditions.Mechanical Construction: The base of the chassis uses multiple vibration damping stages to minimize any effect power transformer or external vibration has on sound quality. The top plate and volume control are also impervious to vibration.Inputs: There are seven inputs and the tape 1 and tape 2 sections also include outputs for recording.Phono Equalizer: The high performance phono equalizer employs a first stage circuit in a discrete configuration with low noise FETs. A switch allows use of moving magnet or moving coil cartridges.Record Out Selector: While listening to any source, the record output selector can send any source to both tape 1 and tape 2 for recording, so you can listen to one source and record a different source simultaneously. By selecting tape 1 as the input source while recording on tape 1, the preamp acts as a tape monitor.Speaker Outputs: There are two pair of speaker outputs on the back panel. The two pair are wired in parallel and are simultaneously active, they can be used to power two pair of speakers or to bi-wire a single pair. The connections are gold plated binding posts that will accept bare wire, pin connectors, banana plugs, or spade connectors (they are not 5-Way binding posts because the positive and negative posts are too far apart for dual banana plugs).Tone Controls: Rotary knobs on the front panel control bass, treble, and balance.Source Direct: The bass, treble, and balance controls can be bypassed by engaging the source direct button.Headphone: There is a standard (1/4) headphone jack on the left side of the front panel. When headphones are plugged in, the speaker outputs are disengaged.Preamp Output: Stereo RCA preamp outputs allow connection to another amplifier or a powered subwoofer.Power Amp Direct: On the back panel there is a power amp direct switch which bypasses all preamp functions of this unit (bass, treble, volume, etc). Engage this switch when a separate preamp is used with this amp. The AUX-2 input is used with the power amp direct feature and the headphone output is disabled. When any input other than AUX-2 is selected, the unit operates just as if the power amp direct function were turned off.Remote: Like the amplifier, the remote is very basic. There is a power button, a mute button, a volume rocker button, and an input rocker button to scroll through the inputs. There are also transport functions for a Denon CD player.SpecificationsSpecifications:Power: 80 Watts x 2 at 8 ohms, 160 Watts x 2 at 4 ohmsInput S/N: Phono (moving magnet) 89dB, Phono (moving coil) 74dB, All other inputs 108dBBass: +/- 8dB at 100HzTreble: +/- 8dB at 10kHzCurrent Consumption: 6AFlexible and very well madeCasper from Albuquerque, NM on 4/25/2023Brilliant machine. It looks dual mono but it really isnt but, it doubles every Ohm load from 8 to 4 Ohms. High current. You can bi-wire one set of speakers with all the binding posts. One negative point to make: no speaker select option so no A & B. The phono stage is rather good. It also has a preamp out so you can send a signal to an amplifier or subwoofer. Which is what I did. Works just fine. Also you can cut out the tone controls. It sounds better without them. The remote is very easily list in rhe couch, clothing, blanket, behind the couch, under the coffee table. The remote volume is way to sloppy: way to sensitive. You really have to get up and set the volume by hand to dial it in. It can also be put in standby mode. It is power underrated. Make sure you have room to put it down: It is LONG, heavy, massive. The phono selection button is on the back and is a pain in the ass. It is tiny. It is easy to disengage between MM & MC and cause freak outs as to what is wrong. Built to last. Probably the last excellent two channel integrated amplifiers made by Denon in the USA market. Everything is going home theater and this level of integrity in design will go away. The sound will suffer. Highly recommended audio gear.Pros: Strong power supply. Has a preamp output.Cons: Small remote with overly sensitive volume control. No A/B speaker controls.Helpful? YesNoLet it rip!Bruce from Middletown, CT on 2/6/2008Verified customer(Whats this?)Fantastic, clean power. Hook this amp up to some quality speakers and you will be amazed. Presently running older Infinity Reference 5 floorstanders and a twelve inch powered sub. This thing really cranks but also sounds great at low volume.

YesNoDenon PMA-2000IVRThomas from Washington, DC on 1/27/2008Verified customer(Whats this?)This is a very nice amp. I used it to replace a 20 year old Pioneer A90. Input configuration is good. More flexiblity in the tone controls would be nice--the Pioneer allowed the user to select turnover (bass) and rolloff (treble) corner frequencies. Nowadays I suppose youre not supposed to need tone controls (let alone equalizers) because your speakers are supposed to be flat. In the room, though, that is often a difficult goal to realize. Anyway, the Denon amp sounds great driving my own design speakers. 0 style=box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 0px;>5 of 9 found this helpfulHelpful? YesNoA must have if you want powerful, unadulterated StereoArt from Southern California on 1/18/2008Verified customer(Whats this?)I have a well equipped home recording studio. In the process of mixing and mastering, one test is what the final song sounds like on a "home" stereo system, as opposed to the flat response studio monitors. All home stereos have a certain bias toward boosting lower frequencies, as listeners are accustomed to enhanced bass response. But the problem with most stereo systems is that the typical receiver is loaded with DSP settings, which color the sound further. I wanted a straight ahead, powerful, high quality integrated amp. Didnt want a tuner. Didnt want goofy DSP circuits. This unit really blew me away. Very impressive. A massive (I mean this sucker is heavy, very BEEFY) amplifier that will blow you out of the room at anything much more than a one-third turn of the volume control when playing a CD. I love it. Just what I needed. Plus, I was hugely impressed by the professionalism, customer support, and overall business culture I experienced in dealing with Crutchfield. They will definitely be on my go-to list for anything I want that they carry. 0 style=box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 0px;>7 of 8 found this helpfulHelpful?

Ohhh man does it sound great! Very detailed highs. Smooth and not fatiguing in the mids. Tightened up the bass on my Polk LSI-15s. Untangles the instruments as has been mentioned in previous reviews. Tons of power (more than I would ever need). Highly recommended. I bought a model from the outlet store and when it came the remote volume control did not work. Crutchfield sent me another one (new for the same price as the outlet model). no hassles no cost.

YesNolong awaited upgradetaylorplayer from Grain Valley, Mo on 5/27/2006Verified customer(Whats this?)My old integrated amp was rapidly approaching its 30th birthday, and some dirty contact issues precluded my decision to purchase this new Denon by way of a recommendation from a good friend.I have the unit connected to a set of Klipsch RF-7s and the sonic quality is very nice. The PMA-2000 serves as my main sound system in the living room and doubles as sound for the television.I dont usually listen to very loud passages and if I do try high volume, the Klipschs will reward me with searing highs. I love the remote control and motorized volume control and function knob. Now I can sit on the couch and switch away at random. My old unit was a Sansui AU717 and still is an awesome piece of equipment. I liked the loudness button on the Sansui, which gave me a lot better bass response that I miss on the Denon. Other than that, I cant wait until I get this amp gets past the burn in stage. Perhaps the bass response will come around more to my liking. Ill let you know more about the amp 30 years from now and see how time wears on the piece! 0 style=box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 0px;>12 of 17 found this helpfulHelpful? YesNoPerhaps Best Integrated on the MarketChris from Norwalk,OH on 4/24/2006Verified customer(Whats this?)I am a former owner of Conrad Johnson and NAD gear. After 20 years, my power envelope began to give up. I had been doing research since December for a new integrated/seperates set up and decided on Crutchfield and this Dennon. While it is not as warm as tubes, it comes darn close. The power reserve is incredible and powerfull sections of music flow with ease with this amplifer. The power is very clean and warm, with much detail in the mids and highs, but not bright. Bass is handled well and with authority. The most remarkable feature is the soundstage, which at this price level, is unequaled. I read a review at www.audioreview.com that said the amp did a great job at untangling the soundstage and that word best describes the performance. Its not just an orchestra, its individual violins that compose the sound, something that is remarkable. Bands really seem to be in front of you and your speakers will sing like they never have before. After listening to NAD, Rotel, and Cambridge this unit was superior on all counts, a steal at its price. I highly recommend this unit to any audiophile who wants the best and not wanting to break the bank. I would also like to thank the Crutchfeild sales team with the excellent service they provided for this transaction. Thanks Lucy! NOTE: Make sure you operate the unit for about 60 to 100 hours before attempting critical listening. It is refered to as burn in and it makes a huge difference in sound vs. right out of the box. Dont give up if it sounds harsh and slighly distorted out of box, it will open up with use and is worth the wait! 0 style=box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 0px;>35 of 35 found this helpfulHelpful? YesNoExtraordinary ValuePeter from Summerfield, FL on 12/20/2005Verified customer(Whats this?)With outstanding build and sound quality, this dual-mono bi-wire capable pre-amp/amp outperforms everything else at its price-point. The sound is both crystaline and neutral (a high-end quality not usually found in more modestly priced equipment). The units ability to swing large amounts of voltage provides tremendous heft and hair-raising dynamics when the signal calls for it. Totally lacking in unwanted noise and beautifully made, it sounds and looks like the quality product it is. The manufacturer cautions that the unit requires about 100 hours of burn-in (use) before the sound reproduction reaches its proper balances. My unit needed about 60 hours to fully open the sound. Once that happened, the sound stage became multi-dimensional with great width, height, depth, and rock-solid imaging (sound-source location). Musically, both fundamentals and harmonics sound realistic and accurate. Well recorded pianos and guitars sound natural and like theyre in the room with you. Large groups like orchestras and choirs sound integrated; at the same time the PMA-2000IVR keeps individual instruments and voices distinct. Small groups sound intimate. DVD soundtracks are involving to the point you forget the unit is on. Live performances sound live. Distortion is so low you can listen all day and night without fatigue. In short, this unit reproduces what was recorded without adding or taking-away anything. After several months of use I think the Denon PMA-2000IVR preamp/amp is a huge bargain worth much much more than the asking price. The sound is very much high-end on CDs, DVDs, Cable TV, and Satellite Radio, while the price is anything but. MOPAR Man4.0 out of 5 stars Great but no simultaneous pre-out and pre-in!Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2014Verified PurchaseSweet sounding per all the other reviews. The only got ya is the subwoofer connection.It does have a subwoofer out ONLY, but unlike my older Denon integrated amps, it does not have a pre-out and pre-in so you cannot run a line level RCA cross-over in when running a subwoofer meaning the speakers receive the entire range of signal as well.I thought this was resolved with the PMA 2000IVR since it supports a RCA line level in and out, but you have to dedicate the amp to one function of the other. Pre-amp or Amp if you want RCA line level out to subwoofer and then the remaining signal to the amp.The only three options are:1 - using a speaker level crossover2 - Turning the Integrated amp back into a pre-amp or amp. It will not allow both functions.3 - Dont run a subwoofer.One person found this helpfulHelpfulReportHi-Fi Guy4.0 out of 5 stars Tube sound from solid state?Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2007Sold my Jolida JD-801A tube amplifier, got the Denon PMA2000IVR as aloaner from my local dealer. The surprising thing is that after about 100 hours of use, I really like the detail and solid bass control this amplifier has. On my Dali Mentor 6 speakers, the sound is really quite good. Who says U cant teach an old dog new tricks. If music is a passion for you, and price a consideration, I highly recommend it!!4 people found this helpfulHelpfulReportBut Its a Dry Rain5.0 out of 5 stars Big sound, big weightReviewed in the United States on May 7, 2007I have used the PMA-2000IVR in two different rooms -- one big and one a lot smaller -- and it was (is) great in both. Its hooked up to a pair of Vienna Acoustics Grand Haydn speakers, along with an REL Q108 E subwoofer and Denons TU-1500 RD tuner. Since I went overboard with the system, I went overboard with the speaker and connecting wire -- Audio Quest Slate speaker wire and Diamondback connecting wire. I never thought speaker and connecting wire could make a difference. But the sound is amazing. The only negative is that the PMA-2000IVR is very, very heavy. I had to buy a Salamander shelf system to hold it securely. Its a great-sounding integrated amp Id recommend to anyone.2 people found this helpfulHelpfulReportJane Pilecki5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful piece of equipmentReviewed in the United States on September 28, 2005This unit has a wonderful sound! I power Sonus Faber Concerto speakers with it, and boy, the sound is warm, but not too much so. The power is there when you need it for those sudden, loud passages. I cant afford a real high end amplifier. But my Denon gives me the sound I was looking for! I just love it.• SHIPPING - Item ships within 1 to 3 business days.• RETURNS - Sales Final.Thank you for your business.
