Stereo Amps Vs Av Receivers

I have 4 Amps around the house as stereo speaker + 1 as surrounds for ARC. it is AWESOME! :)

This is my third system and I bought three amps to replace worn out receivers and jumbles of wires. The system allows me to listen to music in 5 different different areas of my house. My music when i want it and my wife if she wants something different. Now I have Sonos with three systems in three different states. Nothing better.

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 have an existing installation I had to work in that used left and right from the mixer to amps to a left and right speaker array. We are not doing anything stereo, and stereo really wouldn't be effective there anyway, and I needed Left and Right for mixing groups...so set up left/right to main on the board and connected main to the JIB/Y and sent the output to both the left and right amp inputs. We had plenty of power so signal drop is not an issue...and it works great!

After searching for weeks for the right delay I finally settled on the timefactor and could not be happier. I use it 2 ways, as the last effect on my pedalboard with stereo INS and stereo outs feeding two amps and from the send to the return of each of two amps. The timefactor works great in both uses. The ability to choose the mix of both dry and delay is great. The ability to use two seperate delay lines is like having two delay lines in one. I also like the three options for bypass type allowing you to use the peal as a buffer in your chain or going full true bypass. For the money this is one of the most versatile units available, and with the quality of eventide behind it, you cannot go wrong.

I bought to of these to run as a stereo pair for guitar amplifiers in a live environment. They are terrific! They handle whatever two 100 watt amps can throw at them and do not color the sound in any sort of negative manner. They definitely let the amps tone shine right through. I went from two classic Sm57s to these and I just notice more clarity and detail than I did with the 57s. Mic placement is a breeze. I spent all of 5 minutes with a pre-recorded loop figuring out the most natural sound and its very easy to find the large sweetspot with these mics. Again, the 57 does not have a huge sweet spot.

I'm using these as a stereo drum overhead solution. They will definitely come in handy for vocals, guitar amps, and acoustic jams. Very warm sound, wide frequency range. Love 'em!

Use these for running lavs receivers into a mixer/recorder. No problems, but you have to be aware that it doesnt work for some devices depending on mono/stereo issues. For example this doesnt work to run a Sennheiser G4 RX unit into a single XLR input- that requires a stereo mini to split XLR channels.
