About the RV9

The Lexicon RV-9 is a high-end immersive surround sound AV receiver designed for premium home cinema systems. It combines a multichannel surround processor with a built-in 7-channel Class G power amplifier, so it functions as both an AV receiver and an integrated multichannel amplifier. It processes up to 11.2 channels (supporting layouts such as 5.1.4 and 7.1.4 with external amps) while directly driving seven channels with around 100 W per channel into 8 ohms with all channels driven and up to 120 W per channel into 8 ohms in stereo. It supports modern video formats including 4K Ultra HD, HDR, and Dolby Vision over HDMI 2.0a with HDCP 2.2, via 7 HDMI inputs and 3 HDMI outputs with ARC. On the audio side it offers decoding for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X, and IMAX Enhanced, uses a 24-bit/192 kHz DAC and low-distortion amplification for audiophile-grade performance, and includes Dirac Live room correction for precise calibration. Network and streaming features such as Ethernet networking, UPnP playback, internet radio, and Spotify Connect plus Bluetooth/AirPlay (depending on region/firmware) provide flexible music playback. Control and integration are supported through Ethernet, RS-232, IR, and trigger connections, making the RV-9 suitable for sophisticated, custom-installed home cinema systems.
