PMA-510AE
Integrated Amplifier

Speaker drive capability a step up in class.

Integrated amplifier with enhanced sound expression.
The PMA-510AE features High-Current Single-Push-Pull circuitry based on Denon’s ideal for pure audio
amplifiers that aims for both strength and detail in the musical sound being heard. Denon engineers have
tapped their proven audio technology to create an integrated amplifier that is a step up in class from
previous designs. For improved convenience, the remote control unit that comes with the PMA-510AE
includes the main functions that control Denon CD players.
