Featuring cutting-edge safety technology, this stereo is equipped with a number of fool-proof designs to protect your hardware. The Power Guard system prevents audio clipping and unwanted distortion by adjusting input levels from various media sources, resulting in absolute clarity. The Dynamic Power Manager is designed to match the output levels to the speaker system, operating at 4 or 8 Ohms, depending on the surround sound system hooked up to the amplifier. This will further reduce static and prevent your system from overheating, especially when binging TV shows or having a movie marathon.
As a bonus for techies who like having precise control over their audio, this audio amplifier includes a wattmeter, which allows you to monitor the power consumption with your own eyes, ensuring that the power limit never gets high enough to blow your speakers or compromise the quality of the sound. Finally, the sentry monitor will disengage output power if it exceeds a safe level, preventing short circuits. Feel free to plug in and crank the volume — the safety features will ensure you won't damage your hardware.
Customize Your Sound System to Fit Your Needs
With seven output slots for up to seven channels, this stereo amplifier is the ideal building block for your 7:1 system. However, the simple design also allows you to customize your speaker output to suit a variety of media needs. For instance, you can connect a 5:1 speaker system to the home theater amplifier while attaching a separate pair of speakers to operate in a second zone — something ideal for playing vinyl records, CDs, and other music in a stereo setting, rather than surround sound. For audiophiles and cinephiles alike, this versatile setup allows for ultimate customization so you can create a sound system tailored to your unique auditory needs.
