This receiver can power up to seven speakers at the same time. Use all seven channels in a 5.1.2 Atmos or DTS:X™ system. Or go with a more modest 5.1 surround sound setup and repurpose the extra two channels for music in a second room.
Match with your room and speakers
At 80 watts per channel, the '494 pairs nicely with most bookshelf, in-wall, and in-ceiling speakers. It's a great choice if you're powering a surround sound system in a small- to medium-sized room.
