Av 5.1 Receivers To Bi Amp Stereo

The Pyle PTA2 Mini 2X40W Stereo Power Amp is the perfect amp for the stereo minimalist. This amp, a good turntable and nice speakers will provide the perfect retro vinyl album experience. Try it and enjoy, it's 1969 again!

Bluetooth works great is made to hook up to receivers with no pre amp

Have owned numerous AV receivers over the years. The str-an1000 may not be the best one, but if you have a recent Sony Bravia OLED TV with center channel capability, it's great. The combination gives you a great surround sound setup without a bulky center speaker that can be difficult to place.

I bought several of these to integrate AV receivers into my home automation. The pinout document is the easiest to read that I've seen for this type of product. Thanks!

I had a bad ground loop hum when connecting an AV receivers unbalanced outputs to a mixer. This fixed it.

I had this with my NR1710 and its Fantastic using it for Bi-amp, I wish they put additional volume control on this unit,

This is a gadget built for a very specific purpose and seems a little expensive compared to something like an Alesis Nanoverb which can do so much more for less. However, this little box solves a huge issue, and that is matching audio delay to video delay. We use 3 of them to cover all 6 channels in a 5.1 editing suite. Our video goes from the edit station to the 4K monitor via HDMI. The audio goes analog from the sound card to a 5.1 amp. As is typical with all HDTV and UHD monitors, there is a small (150 millisec) delay of the picture in the monitor due to the time it takes to process the signal and display it. As a result, the audio would come out the speakers 150 ms before the picture, thus creating a terrible loss of sync that's really annoying. This little gadget allows delay to be dialed in to the audio in 50 ms increments, up to 300 ms. We set all 3 to 150 ms and problem solved. They have no power switch so we plug all the wall warts into an extension cord plugged into the switched outlet on the back of the amp and they come on and off with the power button on the amp. My only complaint is that they are so small and light, what the heck do you do with them? We velcroed them into the back of the rack.

I guess you could describe me as an audiophile. My current system cost me about 25 KBUCKS and includes Audio Research pre-amp and amp, Mirage speakers (8 speakers in each tower), an 18 inch subwoofer, etc., etc. Two things made me ready for a change: 1) I am ready to simplify and unclutter and 2) My ears ain't what they used to be. Through lots of research and recommendations by the audio store that sold me my current setup some years ago, I landed on Sonos. I am awaiting a 5.1 home theatre setup, but could not resist buying a Sonos 5 while waiting. It came a couple of hours ago, and I am enjoying the hell out of it. Quick, intuitive setup, great sound and wireless! I love it. Understand that my listening area is a challenge. A voluminous room with 30 foot wooden ceilings. This beauty fills up the room with wonderful sound. As I type this, I am sitting in my home office which is a considerable distance from the speaker and it is clear and concise even through the walls and distance (of course I will now have to get a Play or Play one for in here!). I was amazed at the bass response. I had to immediately play Olympic fanfare which is a knockout piece on my reference setup. Wonderful! With singing, the voices are clear and the highs are crisp and clean. Unfortunately, I can see another one of these in my immediate future to setup a stereo system. I can't wait to see how it sounds when the subwoofer arrives with the 5.1 system. Sonos, you guys rock!!

Coming from using a true surround sound 5.1 speaker system with sub, amp and rears this lacks the experience that I am used to. But I intend on adding to it and I'm sure that will achieve what I'm looking for. Good if trying to minimise.

I use this device in conjunction with Logic Pro on a 2021 MBP to record, mix, monitor, and master in stereo and sometimes 5.1, mostly for video soundtracks. It has a clear, clean, open sound that accurately reflects even subtle changes in mix and plugin settings. The accompanying TotalMix software has very powerful routing options, and once it is configured, makes it easy to switch between stereo and 5.1. For those relatively new to recording and mixing, be aware that this is a professional grade tool. For what it can do, it is very simple to operate, but you can expect a learning curve to absorb the concepts behind TotalMix. That doesn't mean not to buy it, it is completely worth taking the time to learn, and RME has outstanding tutorials. For more of a plug-and-play experience in Logic that will also deliver fine sound but with fewer input and routing options, look to Apogee.
