EMOTIVA BASX MR1 AV RECEIVER

The BasX MR1 cinema receiver combines a 13.2 channel immersive surround sound processor and an audiophile quality eleven-channel amplifier in a single chassis. Delivering 100W RMS/channel @ 8 ohms and 130W RMS/channel @ 4 ohms, continuous, all channels driven, the MR1’s linear Class H power supply (featuring a massive 1,000 VA toroidal transformer), places reserves of power at the disposal of the latest Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive surround sound formats. Line level audio outputs support up to thirteen main/surround sound channels and two subwoofers (with balanced connections).

HDMI EARC

High video quality with fast error-free switching is enabled through six HDMI inputs, all of which support HDMI 2.0b and HDCP 2.2, 4k UHD video, and HDR (including HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision).
