A/V receivers are the brains of your surround sound system and serve as the control center. They take all of the other components and tie them together so that all the sources will work together. As input from the other components feed into the receiver, the receiver will send one clear, streamlined output.
At Independence Audio Video, we carry cutting-edge, high-value A/V receivers. Because they are the “heart” of your surround sound system, it’s important to invest in a high-quality receiver. Receivers are the components that ensure that as you take in your entertainment, you feel as though you are actually sitting in the environment that you are viewing.
A/V receivers come with auto-calibration microphones that make your surround system work together. The auto-calibration mics send tones to each of the surround sound speakers and measure the speaker distance. These microphones will measure the acoustics of the room and dial into the speakers to adjust them for optimal sound. The mics will tell your surround sound system what adjustments to make. Place a microphone near your favorite seat or near your theater seating, and the mics will make sure that you have a perfect sound.
Your A/V receiver will be the most critical piece of your surround sound system, followed only in importance by your speakers. A high-quality receiver is an investment that will not only last but force all of the other components to perform well, too. Receivers can integrate with all of your home electronics such as high-definition TVs, 3-D TVs, HDMI, iPods, Internet radio and more. We offer a wide range of receivers from the very affordable to the highest quality, so that you can get a great receiver without having to separate high performance components.
