Launched last year, the CX-A5000 pre-amplifier and MX-A5000 power amplifier combination features 11.2 channels rated at a massive 150W per channel. Popular already with high-end installers, the state-of-the-art connectivity and a feature set including many technologies exclusive to Yamaha have also contributed to the model’s popularity.
“The two separates, both of which employ rigid vibration-damped chassis, hook up via balanced XLR or cinch connections. In tandem they are exhilarating and able to enliven even the dullest-sounding speakers. The CXA5000's parametric equaliser produces superb room correction, including extensive bass management, with all eleven channels individually assignable to suit a variety of configurations. Meanwhile, the MX-A5000 utilises its discrete amps to deliver astonishing levels of power. Overall, Yamaha’s CX-A5000/MX-A5000 pairing makes a superb choice for a high-end home theatre.” – EISA.
The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) incorporates nearly 50 specialist magazines from across Europe and serves as the technology world’s largest independent awards panel. The Awards are a celebration of the most desirable and highest performing home entertainment products with categories ranging from television panels to cameras.
“We’re excited to be the recipient of such a prestigious award. To achieve such acclaim both here and abroad is a testament to not only the products themselves but to the vitality of the multi-channel audio market". Justin d’Offay, Product Manager for Yamaha Music Australia’s AV Division, told StereoNET.
The CX-A5000 ($3,499 RRP) and MX-A5000 ($3,499 RRP) are available now at selected Yamaha Specialist Retailers.
Yamaha will be displaying at the upcoming Australian Audio & AV Show at Intercontinental Rialto Melbourne, October 17th - 19th in Rooms 303 and 304.
