Onkyo has detailed three new home cinema products, including a 7.2-channel A/V receiver and a pair of amplifier and surround sound packages.
The TX-NR696, which will be available from next month for £700, promises a generous 175W of power from each of its seven channels and can be used either in a traditional 5.1 configuration or as a 5.2.2 system with Dolby Atmos.
Its 384 kHz/32-bit multi-channel DAC facilitates hi-res audio: DSD is supported up to 11.2 MHz, while FLAC, WAV, AIFF and ALAC are up to 24-bit/192kHz. You can also add a second zone for the TX-NR696 to feed a stereo set-up in another room alongside your main home cinema set-up.
The receiver incorporates streaming and radio services such as Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music, Deezer and TuneIn, while the TX-NR696 is also compatible with Sonos, has Chromecast built in and can stream music via AirPlay 2.
Onkyo’s new full packages are the HT-S3910, a 5.1 system also available from next month for £500, and the 5.2.2-channel HT-S5915, which will be on sale from June with prices yet to be confirmed.
The former (pictured above) comprises a 155W per channel AV receiver with five surround speakers and passive subwoofer, and can also be configured in a 3.1.2 system to utilise Dolby Atmos. The latter, meanwhile, includes a pair of two-way Atmos-enabled front speakers and a 90W active subwoofer; the receiver boosts the power per channel to 160W.
Both amplifiers house four HDMI inputs and a single output with 4K HDR pass through, while the HT-S5915 gets both AccuEQ and AccuReflex audio calibration technologies. Bluetooth, USB, coaxial and optical digital terminals and a trio of RCA inputs boost your connectivity options.
