You may accept overheard your mates' conversations during the
backyard BBQ endure weekend of how they advance the TV complete in their
home theatre systems. However, you may accept been abashed because it
seemed they were application the agreement 'amplifier' and 'receiver'
interchangeably. And back then, you couldn't stop cerebration of what
the differences amid amplifier and receiver are and which one will be
best for you.
The differences amid an Amplifier and Receiver....
Amplifier is a box advised to receive, accent the ability of and again
address the audio arresting to the affiliated loudspeakers. An amplifier
does not accept an interface (i.e. buttons or knobs) to baddest or
change inputs, outputs, volume, etc; accordingly you will charge to
acquirement a pre-amplifier (or referred as pre-amp) alone to accredit
you to do that.
Receiver is a box that consists of an amplifier, pre-amp and congenital
radio tuner. It has assorted inputs (video and audio inputs such as TV
boxes, Games consoles, DVD/ Blu-Ray players) and outputs (video and
audio outputs such as LCD TV, speakers) and an interface (i.e. buttons
or knobs) to ascendancy them. It may charge to affix with the
appropriate antenna for the congenital radio tuner to be able to accept
radio signal.
You may accept apparent the appellation Stereo Receiver and AV Receiver
(or accepted as Audio Video receiver) in your bounded cyberbanking
stores.
So, what is a stereo receiver and an AV receiver exactly?
Stereo receiver is originally what the receiver was referred to. It
consists of an amplifier, pre-amp and congenital radio tuner. It is
advised to handle audio signals only.
However, as the home ball arrangement evolves, so does the receiver in
adjustment to be able to action both video and audio signals. The
characterization AV receiver is acclimated to differentiate amid stereo
receiver (2-channel audio arresting inputs) and AV receiver
(multi-channel audio and video signals inputs).
Generally, purchasing an amplifier added addition abstracted pre-amp is
believed to action the best achievement in sound. Because they are
separate, it aswell offers adaptability in acclimation and advance
assertive allotment of the amplifier. However, the drawbacks are it is
added expensive, requires added amplitude and you will alone get
2-channel stereo sound.
The allowances of purchasing a receiver are cheaper, easier to set up
(only one box compared to two) and you will get multi-channel
conscientious beleaguer complete and accurate experience.
If you would like the best of both worlds and money is not an issue,
addition advantage will be to acquirement both amplifier and receiver.
By accumulation the two together, the receiver will act as pre-amp and
address the audio signals to the amplifier for amplification.
