Denon DRA-685 Specifications

Superb Stereo Sound and Multi-room Entertainment Convenience
Featuring a multi-room audio function, along with video selection and high power, the DRA-685 serves as the
heart of a stereo music system while providing stereo sound for stereo video sources. With a prodigious 100 watts
of power per channel, the DRA-685 can easily drive virtually any modern loudspeaker system with authority and
clarity. A full suite of convenience and switching functions makes the DRA-685 an indispensable choice for a well

Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC)
The circuit handling low-level and high-level signals have been divided
into separate blocks to ensure that influences from these signals on
each other are held to an absolute minimum. This new chassis design in
the DRA-685 is called the Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC).
Signals for output are cleaner than before, allowing them to be repro-
duced with even greater fidelity and clarity.
High-Quality Power Amplifier Section
100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.05 %)
Providing 100 watts per channel, into 8 ohms, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz,
with no more than .05% total harmonic distortion, the DRA-685 provides
separates class audio performance. Together, these components provide
superb low impedance drive capability with tremendous dynamic reserve
capacity. High speed, wideband discrete power transistors provide delicacy
and impact, ideally suited to the needs of the highest quality analog and
digital sources.

level adjustment via remote control, are for connection to powered sec-
ond zone speakers or a second zone amplifier.
