Powerful sound and expanded connectivity

With over 50 years of experience building premium audio components, Harman Kardon knows great sound. So if you're looking for a receiver with serious stereo power and performance, you've come to the right place. The HK 3490 boasts 120 watts per channel of high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth Harman Kardon power to ensure dynamic, audiophile sound quality with all your music sources. It also features cool extras like satellite radio capability and digital audio inputs for music playback with compatible gear.

The HK 3490's integrated AM/FM tuner provides 30 presets for quick access to all your favorite stations. And the XM Satellite Radio ready design makes it easy to add over 170 channels of music, news, and entertainment with an optional XM Mini-Tuner and Home Dock.

Flexible connections for your A/V components

This versatile receiver offers plenty of connections for your music sources. You get three sets of inputs for audio components, including one for a turntable so you can enjoy your treasured vinyl collection. Plus, optical and coaxial digital audio inputs are available for making high-quality connections to a digital audio source, such as a CD or DVD player. The '3490 even includes convenient switching for video components — an unusual but useful feature for stereo receivers. Four A/V inputs, including one on the front panel, let you connect a game console plus other video sources and use this receiver as the centerpiece of a two-channel home theater system. Two separate subwoofer outputs make it easy to add a powered sub (or even two) for extra bass impact.  

Superior power capability

At the heart of the '3490 is Harman Kardon's high current, ultra-wide bandwidth amplifier. With clean, consistent and accurate performance, this amp will drive your home speakers to new levels and your enjoyment to new heights.
