HDMI 2.1, 8K/4K resolution, and 40GPS speeds come standard with the TX-RX70, with full bandwidth functionality for the fastest refresh to keep up with the newest gaming consoles. Premium 32-bit ESS Sabre DACs are used, while the included Dirac Live Room Correction Full Bandwidth system is designed to develop the best sound for your room’s layout. Optional user upgrades are available for Dirac Live Bass Control, which uses machine learning and AI to quickly determine ideal settings for any layout.
ROON READY
The Onkyo TX-RZ70 AVR includes advanced music streaming and connectivity and works with smart home assistants like Alexa, Hey Google, and Siri. Roon Ready certification puts users’ entire high-resolution music libraries at their fingertips (available with a firmware update in September 2023). The whole home entertainment experience can be aligned with this technology and fuelled by studio-grade processing, Bluetooth transmitter with aptX for sharing audio to Bluetooth headphones, and more.
KLIPSCH OPTIMIZED MODE
This new model joins the Onkyo AVRs, featuring THX Certification, Klipsch Optimized Mode for peak performance with compatible HIFI speakers, and IMAX Enhanced for clearer, brighter video and immersive audio.
OSAKA TECH CENTRE
Premium Audio Company (PAC) purchased the Onkyo brand in 2021. It has been important for the company to retain and embrace the engineers’ expertise and decades of institutional knowledge at its Technology Centre in Osaka. “The flagship Onkyo TX-RZ70 AVR is one of the first projects our PAC product development team has worked on with the existing Onkyo engineering team and represents a new standard of performance in its class,” explained Rob Standley, SVP of Global Brands – Elite, Pioneer, Integra and Onkyo.
ONKYO TX-RZ70 AVR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
The Onkyo TX-RZ70 AVR (SRP £3,099 / €3299) will be available in Spring 2023 through authorised retailers. Henley Audio distributes Onkyo AVRs in the UK.
