Benefits
The Home Theater Series of 8-channel HDMI* audio processors are designed to help you take your home theater system to the next level. Choose from the nanoAVR HD high-resolution processor with powerful bass management and parametric equalization, or the nanoAVR DL incorporating Dirac Live® digital room correction from Dirac Research. Each in a remarkably compact and surprisingly affordable package.
* Requires uncompressed linear PCM from HDMI source — encoded bitstream audio is not supported.
Take Charge
Modern A/V receivers pack in so much functionality that something important is easily lost: user control. Reclaim your right to manage your own audio path — powerful parametric equalization and flexible bass management on the nanoAVR HD, or full user control over target curves and frequency correction range in the nanoAVR DL. Store up to four fully configured audio presets onboard and select them with an infrared remote*.
* Remote not included. nanoAVR HD and nanoAVR DL include remote control code learning feature.
Be impulsive
The Dirac Live® algorithm built into the nanoAVR DL corrects not only in frequency but also in time, across the whole seating area. The time correction is based on what is called the impulse response. Translation: the sound from all speakers arrives at your ears as if from a perfect set of loudspeakers in a perfect room. Imaging. Clarity. Realism.
Do it right
Accurate home theater setup needs accurate acoustic measurement. Don't leave it to chance — the typical puck supplied with most equipment doesn't cut it. An individually calibrated measurement microphone is a must, so we recommend a miniDSP UMIK-1 with your nanoAVR HD or nanoAVR DL*.
* UMIK-1 required for nanoAVR DL, optional for nanoAVR HD.
