High quality sound
UHC-MOS Single Push-Pull Circuit, for balancing details and power
The PMA-2010AE features UHC (Ultra High Current) MOS circuitry that has been developed to balance advanced speaker drive capabilities and improved sound quality. UHC-MOS technology uses a minimum number of amplifier elements while achieving approximately 10 times the normal supply of current, balancing artistic expression with high output power. The PMA-2010AE thus masterfully reproduces the full sonic range from soft delicate details to powerful transparent climaxes of a musical performance. 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 PMA-2010AE features a twin monaural axisymmetric 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 blackcoated 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.
Precision Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, to thoroughly suppress vibration
The vibration-resistant 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 vibration-resistant materials. The radiator has been dampened with a vibration resistant material and a radiator stabilizer, 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. - 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.
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 degradation 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 PMA-2010AE 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, transparent sound, since the signal is amplified under ideal conditions.
Independent preamp and output stage power supplies, plus powerful high current dynamic power circuit
The preamp power circuit that requires stable voltage and the output stage power circuit that requires a large current supply have been placed independently from the stage of the power transformer coils. This configuration of the power circuitry that eliminates adverse influences caused by the operating current of the output stage significantly enhances the resolution of the preamp stage handling low-level signals. On the other hand, large-current Schottky barrier diodes have been used for the rectifier elements to support the expressiveness of the UHC-MOS with their low-noise characteristics and high-speed operation. And a large-capacity, block-type 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 characteristics. The Leakage Cancelling (LC) mount-in system, a method of cancelling mutual magnetic influences, has been used to minimise the leaking 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 vibrationresistant materials that produce a floating effect to prevent adverse influences from affecting sound quality.
Large, high-grade 27 mm volume control unit
The PMA-2010AE uses an unusually large 27 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 Functions Newly-designed remote control unit
The remote control unit that comes with the PMA-2010AE also lets you operate Denon DCD-2010AE CD player. High-grade tactile buttons and other features make this remote extremely easy to use.
