Denon DN-500AV - AV Surround Preamplifier

Any professional AV installation can benefit from the supreme sound and flexibility of the Denon DN-500AV surround preamplifier. If you're running video along with a large-scale audio system, Sweetwater highly recommends the DN-500AV as a great way to maintain your audio quality. In short, you connect your HDMI signal to the DN-500AV, and pass through the HDMI video to your projector or screen. You then connect the balanced XLR outputs to feed your 5.1 or 7.1 surround system. Because you're dealing with high-quality balanced audio outs instead of the typical unbalanced RCA outs on most decoders, you'll enjoy pristine, wide-ranging audio with virtually no noise.
