PMA-2010AE

Integrated Amplifier

Integrated amplifier with the fruit of many years of
Denon audio technology and experience

To further improve expressiveness in sound, the PMA-2010AE inherits the UHC-MOS Single Push-Pull output circuit and is
of a newly-engineered construction forming a solid foundation for a pure, clean sound. The PMA-ZOlOAE is an integrated
amp that emulates high-end models in both elegance and sound quality.

High quality sound

UHC-MOS Single Push-Pull Circuit, for
balancing details and power

The PMAsQOiOAE features UHC (Ultra High Current)
MOS circuitry that has been developed to balance
advanced speaker drive capabilities and improved
sound quality UHCVMOS technology uses a minis
mum number of amplifier elements While achieving
approximately 10 times the normal supply of current,
balancing artistic expression With high output power.
The PMA72OTOAE thus masterfully reproduces the
full sonic range from soft delicate details to powerful
transparent climaxes of a musical performance.

Precision Direct Mechanical Ground
Construction, to thoroughly suppress vibration
The vibrationsresistant construction Was reviewed
to ensure that the adverse influences of vibration
on sound quality are thoroughly suppressed. The
power transformer, a major source of vibration.
has been float" mounted using a variety of vibrations
resistant materials. The radiator has been dampened
With a vibration resistant material and a radiator star
bilizer, and by mounting the radiator near the foot.
interference With the power transformer and other
sources of vibration is minimized in addition. the
depth dimension is shorter than previous models
and the chassis mounting has been redesigned to
improve resistance to vibration

- The shorter distance between feet guides
vibration more easily to the feet

I The radiator mounting to the chassis has been
given a lower centre of gravity to further facilitate
vibration guidance to the feet.

- Fins of different thicknesses have been used in
the radiator to eliminate the adverse effects of
resonance.

These and other measures to minimize the effects
of both internal and external vibration, such as in
the mounting and placement of the various parts.
contribute to impeccable sound transparency and
improved localization.

Chassis construction with 6 independent blocks
The PMAsZOiOAE features a tWin monaural axs
isymmetric construction With separate power amp

blocks for the left and right channels to prevent
mutual interference between the circuits, shut out
noise, and obtain a clear stereo image Circuits
With different signal levels have been isolated
into six separate blocks. And 1 6mm thick black
coated steel plates have been used for chassis
to eliminate sound coloration caused by mutual
interference between the blocks and ensure the
playback of sound With a clear sense of space.

Independent preamp and output stage power
supplies, plus powerful high current dynamic
power circuit

The preamp power circuit that requires stable volts
age and the output stage power circuit that requires
a large current supply have been placed independs
ently from the stage of the power transformer coils.
This configuration of the power circuitry that elimis
nates adverse influences caused by the operating
current of the output stage significantly enhances
the resolution of the preamp stage handling loleevel
signals. On the other hand, largescurrent Schottky
barrier diodes have been used for the rectifier
elements to support the expressiveness of the
UHCVMOS With their lowinoise characteristics
and highrspeed operation And a largescapaclty.
blockstype electrode capacitor for audio applications
has been used for the power capacitor. This power
circuitry supplies clean, stable power to realise
a sound space that eminently balances delicate
musical nuances and high power.

Twin transformers with leakage cancelling mount
Two transformers have been connected in parallel to
dramatically improve electrical and magnetic chars
acteristlcs, The Leakage Cancelling (LC) mountsin
system, a method of cancelling mutual magnetic
influences, has been used to minimise the leaks
ing of magnetic flux, a source of noise inside the
amp. The method in which the transformers were
mounted also used a combination of special resins
and vibrationsresistant materials that produce a
floating effect to prevent adverse influences from
affecting sound quality.

Minimum signal paths, to protect signal purity
Signal paths have been made thoroughly simple
and straight to ensure a pure playback sound. The

minimization of signal paths prevents signal degs
radation between circuits. in the amplifier stage.
minimum signal paths reduce noise entering the
ground circuit, a fundamental component in signal
amplification, and stabilizes ground potential When
the operating foundation of the amplifier circuit is
clear, the playback sound is also clear

Precision Signal Ground Circuit, to protect
signal purity

The Precision Signal Ground circuit, a standard for
signal amplification, minimizes the effects of noise
in the ground circuit to ensure a stable ground
phase. The PMAsZOiOAE employs copper plates
on the ground side of the block capacitors for both
the left and right channels to ensure direct flow to
the ground This design results in a clean. transV
parent sound, since the signal is amplified under
ideal conditions.

Large, high-grade (327 mm volume control unit
The PMAsZOiOAE uses an unusually large 027 mm
volume control unit that suppresses external noise
and vibration to enable accurate volume control

Wide range playback, supporting Super Audio
CD, BD and DVD-Audio

Useful function

Newly-designed remote control unit

The remote control unit that comes With the
PMAsZOi OAE also lets you operate Denon
DCDsZOiOAE CD player Highsgrade tactile
buttons and other features make this remote
extremely easy to use.

Low standby power consumption

The very low standby power consumption of
about 0.3W minimizes the PMAQOtOAEs impact
on the environment.
