AV Processors

An AV processor decodes cinema sound, manages sources and sends signals to suitable power amplifiers. Separating processing and amplification can help match a system to its speakers; it is not automatically better than every integrated receiver.

Choose the system before the processor

Count speakers, independently controlled subwoofers and active crossover ways. Check physical analogue or digital outputs, source formats, control integration and the full amplification budget. Calibration tools are valuable, but speaker capability, placement and room acoustics remain fundamental.

Our StormAudio versus Trinnov guide compares two specialist platforms, while StormAudio beyond Dirac ART explains the role of manual setup and optional correction.
