Audyssey for home theater receivers

The first step to great home theater sound is a home theater receiver with Audyssey. Receivers are the control center and most complex component of home theater systems serving as the connection point for all speakers and components like Blu-Ray players or video game consoles. With Audyssey technologies inside, receivers (or AVRs) can do more than interpret and amplify signals. Audyssey technologies transform and improve sound quality and clarity by overcoming your room’s acoustic problems, and delivering the most immersive surround sound available. Our automatic room equalization, volume and surround sound solutions ensure that you enjoy realistic home theater sound for a great home entertainment experience.

Why Audyssey?

	Clear and balanced sound Every home theater has unique acoustical issues caused by everything from furniture, to imperfect speaker placement and open floor plans. Audyssey MultEQ automatically customizes your speaker levels to correct your room’s acoustic problems delivering the clearest and most balanced sound possible.
	Bass and clarity at any volume Surround sound degrades at low volumes no matter how expensive the equipment: voices become inaudible and bass disappears. But Audyssey Dynamic EQ preserves the bass and tonal clarity so movies, music, games and TV are immersive and realistic at any volume.
	Consistent volume TV commercials are jarring and loud, and movie volumes can fluctuate unexpectedly. Audyssey Dynamic Volume anticipates volume changes to eliminate spikes for volume so consistent you won’t notice. Set the volume once for the dialog level you prefer, then sit back and enjoy.
	Immersive surround sound Just when you thought surround sound couldn’t get any better, Audyssey DSX expands the surround channels beyond 5.1 for even more realistic and immersive movies, sports and gaming. Audyssey DSX allows you to add more speakers and place them where they have the greatest impact at upfront wide and high locations. With Audyssey DSX fully deployed in a 7.1, 9.1 or 11.1 system, you’ll enjoy an immersive audio experience you never thought possible in a home theater.

Testimonials

Audyssey is freakin' amazing. Thanks for the product. After having it I can't see myself living without it (kinda like HDTV).

MultEQ XT is kind of like having a super-smart sound-engineer-in-a-box . . . I was blown away by what a good job it does. By all means, learn what the Audyssey logo looks like – it's going to change the sound of home theater.

—Darryl Wilkinson, Home Theater magazine

With Audyssey DSX on, everything seemed bigger. The screen seemed bigger and the soundtrack seemed bigger. Everything was just more engrossing. It was closer to that Holy Grail of not being in a great home theater, but transparently being transported into the movie.

—Geoffrey Morrison, Home Entertainment

The Audyssey MultEQ system corrects the abnormalities created by the listening environment and allows the listener to hear the movie as we intended it to be heard.

I also have purchased the [Denon] 5805 and wow! . . . the Audyssey alone is worth the price . . . it is very, very good.

As for Audyssey MultEQ . . . I think it could become the single most important feature to ever hit home theatre.

I am flat out blown away by this receiver . . . Audyssey Dynamic EQ along with Dynamic Volume is a knockout combo. The bass response and sound from the rears is jaw dropping at lower levels.
