  • Key Specs
    • Number of Audio Zones: 2 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
    • Number of Channels: 16 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
    • Number of Audio Zone Source Outputs: 2 (Multiple source outputs from the receiver mean different speakers are able to receive different sound sources from the receiver or preamp/processor. For every output, a different sound source can be accessed simultaneously in different zones. For example, two source outputs could be a streaming media player in one room and a Blu-ray player in another.)
    • Surround Sound Supported: Dolby Digital, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, Auro 3D (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    ARCAM

    Amazing sound clarity. Simple straightforward setup. No issues. Have amazing confidence in this product. Purchasing through Best Buy was also an amazing experience.

  • Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Almost a 5

    Setup is a learning curve and much less intuitive than any other AV processor that I have used. But the sound quality is impeccable. I like that every channel has the option of balanced or unbalanced. One other negative is having no phono preamp input. Luckily my turntable has a selectable preamp.
