Audio Visual Control Systems, Audio Video Amplifiers & Receivers

What are Audio Visual (AV) Control Systems, Amplifiers and Receivers?

Audio Visual Control Systems, AV Amplifiers and AV Receivers are AV (audio-visual) components used to control and boost the visual display and audio output of your multi room tv / video installation, multi room audio / hifi installation or home cinema, with the aid of a crystal clear custom surround sound speaker system.

Audio Visual Amplifiers send the power to the speaker system. If you want the very best audio fidelity, then a separate amplifier or multiple amps, depending on the scale and reach of your audio arrangement, will be needed.

Audio Visual Controllers, sometimes known as AV decoders or surround-sound processors, prepare the audio signal for amplification before it reaches the separate amplifier, and prepares the video signal for a standard TV, plasma screen or projection system. These devices are often used for premium home cinemas installations and top-end audiophile arrangements.

Audio/Video Receivers amplify sound from a multitude of audio and video sources in your home entertainment set-up (DVD players, internet streamed radio, video servers and music servers) and send the optimised audio signal to the surround sound speaker system and the video signal to the plasma screen and projection system. They are able to decode Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround sound, and at the higher end deliver cinema-quality audio (THX format) and HDMI connections (High-Definition Multimedia Interface for uncompressed, premium digital data) for audio and video systems.

What are the benefits of Audio Visual Control Systems, Amplifiers and Receivers?

In short, Audio Visual Control Systems, Audio Video Amplifiers and AV Receivers, whether singly or in combination, enhance the user’s visual and aural experience. There are a huge amount of controllers, amplifiers and receivers on the market, each with varying levels of capability, and depending on your audio visual control requirements (standalone rooms, multi-room tv / video, multi-room audio / hifi, scale of dedicated home cinema room etc), The Integrators specify the ideal models to suit.

Which Audio Visual Control Systems do we offer?

The Integrators work only with tried and trusted brands of Audio Visual Control Systems, Audio Video Amplifiers and AV Receivers. We are specialist custom-home installers for Denon, Onkyo, and Yamaha.

Denon has delivered many world firsts in digital technology and is universally recognised as one of the best manufacturers of audio visual equipment. Denon carries a select range of audio amplifiers, AV amplifiers and audio visual receivers.

Denon’s low-end AVR-1509 AV Surround Receiver still delivers high quality high definition video while the top of the range AVR-4308A HD Network Wi-Fi 7.1 AV Receiver is a wireless digital delight for multi-zone audio / hi and multi room tv / video. The 7-channel AVC-A1HDA Surround Amplifier delivers THX cinema-quality surround sound and HDMI scaling to 1080p (meaning that even lower grade analogue sources such as VHS video input has its picture quality enhanced to digital quality).

Onkyo, while perhaps a less widely recognised brand name, shares much of its history with Denon (the ‘on’ in Denon comes from ‘Onkyo’), and so the company’s achievements in AV entertainment are myriad.

The Onkyo PR-SC886 THX® Ultra2 Plus™ Certified 7.1-Channel A/V Controller delivers state-of-the-art features and performance for the most technically sophisticated home cinema theatres and multi-room tv / video, and is designed to be used in conjunction with high-end amplifiers. Even at the low end of Onkyo’s audio video receivers, the TX-SR307 home theatre receiver can receive up to three 1080p resolution video sources via HDMI (e.g. Blu-ray, PlayStation3 and HD broadcasts) simultaneously.
Yamaha’s range of audio visual amplifiers and receivers is astonishingly wide - at the high end offers the almost peerless DSP-Z11, which can amplify an amazing 11 speakers at once. It also includes video upscaling to 1080p quality, network support for internet radio and music streaming from a PC and iPod docking capability. It also features THX Ultra2 Plus, the leading home cinema surround sound speaker solution.
