We are having more and more customers asking for the upgrade. 'This is our third year of offering the AURO-3D firmware upgrade to our Denon and Marantz AVR lineup. 'D+M Group is all about innovation, and we're always on the lookout for improvements to our hardware to offer a cutting-edge audio experience,' said Yoshinori Yamada, global business team leader for the company's A/V receiver category. Also, since each unit is part of the HEOS lineup, it can be integrated into a wireless, whole-house music setup. The AV7703 pre-processor will also need an external amplifier.Īll four components are designed for use with 4K Ultra HD and feature perks such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and AirPlay.

Just know that an extra amplifier is needed for the AVR-X4300H and the SR7011 to drive the top surround channel for 10.1 configurations, but the 11.2-channel AVR-X6300H will support 10.1-channel sound out the box. Once your component is upgraded, you can experience the format on an AURO 9.1 or 10.1 speaker configuration. The AVR-X6300H can support a 7.1.4 speaker configuration, without an external amp. Depending on the size of that space, one or two additional layers are mounted above the existing surround layer at ear level to deliver the 'Voice of God.' (For more information on each format, check out ' What's Up with 3D Immersive Sound: Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and AURO-3D?' and ' Update on Immersive Sound: What's New with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and AURO-3D?') It's an object-based format that can deliver a more immersive listening experience using a 'height layer' above and around the room. Now the company is adding another three-dimensional audio format - but it's going to cost you.ĭ+M Group is making the AURO-3D Immersive Sound format available to users with the Denon AVR-X6300H 11.2-channel receiver ($2,199), the Denon AVR-X4300H 9.2-channel receiver ($1,499), and the Marantz SR7011 9.2-channel receiver ($2,199), as well as the Marantz AV7703 AV pre-processor ($2,199).ĪURO-3D is a sound perk that's very similar to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

All year, D+M Group has been updating home theater components to add DTS:X support.
