Surround Sound AV Processors Market Overview
Surround Sound AV Processors are the brains of all mid to high end home theater systems. They are similar to AV receivers in that they provide source switching and decoding, audio/video processing and volume control for various surround sound formats. But unlike an AV receiver, a preamp/AV processor has no built-in amplification and is dedicated to serving as the “brain” of the system. This means they generally have more processing power available. Includes additional channels, flexible adjustment and calibration options. They also cost more because higher quality components must be included to improve performance.
