Surround Sound & Home Theater Processors

Surround Sound & Home Theater Processors

Most of the time a home theater processor is working behind the scenes. It receives the movie's audio and routes each individual channel to its corresponding speaker. Whether that be your center, surround or even overhead speakers.

The Marantz AV 10 Processor is a great starting point for a high-end system. The AudioControl Concert XR-6S AV Processor and Concert XR-8S AV Processor allow larger systems to scale accordingly. Building a dedicated theater with additional speakers? The Trinnov Altitude 16 and Trinnov Altitude 24 Channel Surround Processor give you more channels and control.

There are even larger formats as well. Trinnov Altitude 32 and Altitude 48ext are designed for large complex theater systems that require massive amounts of processing power.

Bigger isn't always better though. If you don't have that many speakers in your room, you will never use all the features of a flagship processor has to offer. Consider you room size and speaker setup before diving into a home theater processor. Once you understand what your system requires picking the right processor will become quite easy.
