AudioControl Hyperion RCV-11, 11-Channel AVR

AudioControl's Hyperion RCV-11 is the first of its kind AVR, with GaN amplification, driving 11 channels for Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 and beyond. The powerful, versatile AVR boasts unrivalled sonic performance as the first receiver of its kind to incorporate GaN amplification.

This game changing technology translates to exceptional high power performance, effortlessly driving even the most demanding speakers to produce breath taking sound that matches vivid, high resolution onscreen visuals. RCV-11 easily supports Dolby Atmos systems and other immersive configurations, providing the foundation of incredible home theatre experiences.

Please Note: A Dirac Live license can be obtained for your Hyperion from www.dirac.com/online-store, and will allow you to download & install the Dirac Live software to quickly, easily, and effectively calibrate the listening area.

A first of its kind AV receiver featuring fully GaN-based amplification across 11 discrete channels for high-bandwidth, 3D-immersive audio and beyond. Gallium nitride power transistors achieve faster switching speeds and lower distortion, resulting in a nearly perfect amplified reproduction of the audio signal, enabling the RVC-11 to provide performance that rivals premium separate components in an AVR.

GaN amplifier technology is revolutionising audio design, now featured in many of the world’s most acclaimed state of the art amplifiers. Efficient and cool running, GaN uncompromisingly powers the most complex loudspeakers with finesse, revealing nuances in a soundtrack’s quietest whispers, then delivering the chest-pounding dynamic chaos of the latest 3D immersive superhero epic.

RP22, the Immersive Audio Design Recommended Practice (CEDIA/CTA-RP22), is a set of guidelines that provide a framework for designing, installing, and calibrating home immersive audio systems. Hyperion products surpass all 21 technical benchmarks outlined by RP22, delivering precision-tuned acoustic optimization to any home cinema environment.

The RCV-11 fully leverages DIRAC-licensed technologies to minimize unwanted acoustic effects imposed by the listening environment that compromise loudspeaker performance. Dirac’s Room Correction, Bass Control, and Active Room Treatment algorithms seamlessly integrate with Hyperion’s advanced, high-performance ARM-based DSP architecture, working in real-time to balance loudspeaker response for spatially accurate, optimized playback across all audio sources.

Hyperion products have all been professionally tested and calibrated to meet science-based standards for room acoustics and audio performance to receive HAA Certification. With this certification, Hyperion delivers high-fidelity, precise, and immersive sound that aligns with the highest benchmarks in home audio.

Hyperion engineers selected the Hyperstream IV ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M 32-bit, 2-channel audio D/A converters for their measured performance parameters, including an ultra-high dynamic range of +130dB and an extremely low total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) of -120dB.

Engineered for flexibility and advanced EDID and HDCP management, the RCV-11 delivers pixel-accurate image fidelity from the source to any display device.

ISF Certified by the Imaging Science Foundation, Hyperion video signals are unmodified from their original form to deliver the highest quality video possible. Each HDMI section was independently purpose-developed and individually optimized, featuring distinct and wholly independent signal path topologies.
