AudioControl is unveiling at CEDIA 2008 a new high definition theater platform.

The Concert AVR-1, developed on the new generation platform, is a surround sound receiver/controller designed for premium performance.

Don't just admire it for its high gloss front panel, blue LED display, and custom designed bezel. The unit has gold plated, high current 5-way binding posts and 120 individual I/Os for video and audio connections.

The Concert AVR-1 supports the latest surround codecs -- Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master -- along with traditional formats of Dolby Digital and DTS High Resolution.

The receiver accepts signals from up to five discrete full HDMI 1080p inputs. The dual HDMI outputs are assignable by the integrator to allow for priority switching via the display device.

Component, composite and S-Video signals are also automatically upconverted and scaled to their maximum potential resolutions.

The AVR-1 employs AudioControl’s Class H amplifier topology to drive even the most demanding speaker systems.

The manufacturer says the highly efficient amp "sips" current, making it appealing to green customers.

Despite its minimal current draw, the Class H design is powerful enough to drive 120 watts per channel (840 watts total), with all channels being driven into 8 ohms.

The AVR-1 has the added ability of driving into lower impedances when necessary.

Additional Features of the AVR-1


  • Dolby Volume
  • Audio and video outputs for second and third zones
  • Complete control via RS-232 serial commands or IR commands
  • Dual assignable HDMI outputs with priority switching
  • Sirius Satellite Capable (w/optional tuner)
  • Streaming audio via Ethernet, WiFi or USB
  • Five-year warranty
