VISTA, CALIFORNIA – Directed Electronics today announced that the Polk Audio Designs SR-H1000 SIRIUS component tuner for home audio systems has begun shipping to retailers. The product is sized and styled to match standard premium audio components and offers the best audio performance and most complete feature set to date from an in-home SIRIUS tuner.
With a Retail Price of $349.99*, the SR-H1000 tuner offers analog and digital audio outputs, and is loaded with convenience and performance features. The addition of an optional SiriusConnect Home Tuner (SCH1) from Directed Electronics allows the SR-H1000 to become a dual audio stream/zone tuner capable of receiving two different SIRIUS Satellite radio programs at one time. Custom Integrators will appreciate the ease and low cost of adding an additional audio stream to multi-room audio systems.
The SR-H1000’s Instant Replay feature stores up to 44 minutes of audio for later playback, similar to the way a DVR stores video content. With the SR-H1000, listeners will never miss part of a broadcast due to short-term interruptions.
A composite (RCA jack) video output permits the tuner to display Channel, Artist and Song Title on a TV or video monitor for easy viewing at a distance. An Optical digital output allows the unit to be directly connected to audio components with digital inputs for lossless, pure performance. Stereo analog RCA-type outputs allow the SR-H1000 tuner to connect to any stereo receiver or amplifier. A built-in audiophile-grade Digital to Analog Converter ensures that even analog connections will result in superior sound quality.
The analog gain stage of the tuner is robust, providing more than enough output to deliver a full volume, low noise signal to any amplifier or receiver. A menu-accessible volume control allows the user to match the tuner's output to other sources in the system, avoiding large volume swings when switching from source to source.
Command and control functions are handled by large, easy to see and use, front panel buttons and an LCD display. A full-function remote control duplicates the front panel controls plus adds numeric keys for direct channel access. Control features include menu selection, channel preset jump, memory that stores up to 30 artists-and-song-titles for later retrieval, plus channel scan, display brightness control, 30 channel presets and more. The rear panel RS-232 jack enables the tuner to integrate into the control functions of whole-house music distribution systems such as Crestron and NetStreams.
The SR-H1000 is bound to be a sports fan favorite with its Instant Replay capability and its GameAlert feature, which tells listeners when their favorite teams are playing and when the score changes. The GameZone feature allows the listener to select their favorite team from each of the different sports leagues, including NFL, NBA, NHL and college sports.
The SR-H1000 comes complete with rack mount ears for easy installation into equipment racks, RCA audio cables, Fiber Optic digital audio cable, remote control, and antenna. For more information, including a Store Locator, please visit http://www.directedsirius.com
