Incredible new 7.1/9.1 channel design with two zones and seven amplifier channels capable of 200 watts each!
Bob Carver has always had a passion for making big power from a
small space. So what might you expect from this incredibly passionate
audio inventer/designer with over 30 years experience? Perhaps this:
The world's most powerful home theater receiver in a package the size
of a typical preamplifier. And this beauty will please the most
discriminating audiophile. Really.
Bob started with his highly-acclaimed Theater Grand III Home
Theater Preamp/Processor and then added seven channels of
receiver-class power amplification. This receiver can drive speakers
with impedances as low as four ohms, with 400 watts per channel at that
impedance (for those uncompromising audiophiles who require the
ultimate in power amplifiers with a lower noise floor, more power,
virtually limitless dynamics, and one-ohm stability that can drive any
speaker made, our separates systems are for you). Bob designed it to
produce a warm and engaging soundstage – both your movie and music
soundtracks will be smooth and dynamic.
The Ultimate Receiver II adds Dolby® Pro Logic® IIx to its array
of numerous surround modes including Dolby® Digital, Dolby® Digital
EX, DTS®, DTS-ES®, DTS Neo:6®, and user-configurable all-speaker
stereo. It also includes an incredible digital implementation of Bob's
wildly successful Sonic Holography® Imaging, that substantially adds
to the acoustic space of any stereo recording.
The Ultimate Receiver II's control system takes into consideration the needs
of the modern AV system. New in version II is video format conversion
that automatically up-converts composite to S-video, and S-Video to component
video to keep you from having to change inputs on your TV.
The Ultimate
Receiver II’s remote is a powerful new preprogrammed and learning
LCD-based design (a digital image of the actual receiver remote is not
yet available. It is identical to a Theater Grand remote, but with
'RCVR' instead of 'TGIII' or 'TGIV' in the LCD window. Click HERE
to see the identical Theater Grand III remote). The Ultimate Receiver II
includes an RS 232 communication port to allow easy operation from any
custom control system.
The Ultimate Receiver II also includes an AM/FM tuner with 40
presets, an eight-channel input for DVD-Audio or SACD, a Phono stage, a
digital output which is active for ALL analog and digital sources (even
the phono input!) and much, much more. We urge you to see one right
away at your local Sunfire Dealer.
