A-9130

Integrated Stereo Amplifier

SI LVER

BLAC K

Hi-fi’s golden age reborn for modern listeners

The A-9130 is a robust and versatile pre-main amplifier with wide connectivity and deeply enjoyable sound quality. In

pursuit of musicality and fidelity to the source, the amp is tuned for warm, lively sound that expresses the tonal colors

of your best-loved albums. Stable high-current power delivers accurate and agile sound across a wide and dimensionally

realistic soundstage. WRAT (Wide Range Amplification Technology) was fine-tuned specifically for the A-9130 by

Onkyo’s master technicians. Two 10,000 μF main audio capacitors were custom-made following exhaustive listening

tests to realize a richness and dynamism that’s very easy to love. Make the A-9130 the heart of your home hi-fi and

enjoy the musical refinement expected of a far more expensive component.

A-9130

Integrated Stereo Amplifier

Stable high-current power delivery

Dynamic changes in music cause impedance to fluctuate,
placing huge loads on the amp. If it can’t meet power
demands, sound breaks up. Onkyo’s WRAT employs a
high-output EI transformer, 10,000 µF customized audio
capacitors, and a low-impedance
drive. As well as achieving more
involving and musical sound,
low-negative-feedback
amplifier circuits with discrete
transistors deliver deep and
punchy bass thanks to wide
frequency response covering
10 Hz–100 kHz.

Hi-fi-grade digital board with Wolfson® DAC

Digital sources are decoded by a premium Wolfson
WM8718 DAC on the A-9130’s digital audio board. This
D/A converter is frequently installed on top-shelf audio
components thanks to exceedingly good performance
and supports 192 kHz/24-bit audio playback. TOSLINK or
coaxial digital audio inputs are also ready to amp your TV
entertainment, bringing powerful hi-fi sound to movies, games,
sporting events, and live concerts. When an analog input signal
is detected, the digital audio board shuts down automatically
to reduce potential interference on the signal.

Phase Matching Bass Boost enriches sound
at low volume

Most pre-main amps have a loudness button designed to
boost low-mid frequency sound. However, conventional
designs are prone to phase-shift, which degrades the clarity of
the vocal frequency band. Onkyo’s Phase Matching Bass Boost
function eliminates phase-shift between low- and mid-range
frequency bands above 300 Hz. Bass response is enhanced
without compromising vocal clarity, and that’s something
especially useful when playing music at low volume where bass
and high-frequency sounds are more difficult to hear.

Direct Mode brings you closer to the source

Direct Mode bypasses tone and PM Bass circuitries. In
combination with a refined amp circuit design, signal-path­lengths have been significantly reduced in comparison to the
A-9030 for even more accurate and faithful sound. Enjoy
end-to-end analog music reproduction from turntable to
speakers, and recapture the atmosphere of the original
recording with any connected source.

Sounds clearer at low volumes

When playing music at low volume, the signal normally drops
close to the component’s noise floor. The signal picks up
noise, which is amplified, and the result is muffled sound.
To avoid this, the A-9130 features Optimum Gain Volume
Circuitry, which attenuates the signal by less than half the usual
amount. The signal never approaches the noise floor so you
can enjoy clearest sound at low volume.

Thick and rigid chassis tames resonance

Every hi-fi component generates electromechanical resonance.
This vibration translates into signal noise, and that impacts
on the sound coming out of your speakers. To combat the
negative effects of vibration, the A-9130 features a rigid chassis
that’s fabricated from 1.6 mm-thick steel. Working together
with large, wide-spaced insulators, unwanted resonance is
virtually eliminated.

New fine display shares info clearly

A new display panel boasts fine text resolution, making it
easier to read at a distance than single bulbs. It shows active
selected input at a glance.
