Gone are the days of tangled cables—the
HDMI ARC input sends audio from your TV to the amp with a single cable, while supporting
CEC control (e.g., volume sync with TV remote).
CNET tested it with a Samsung TV, noting "instant setup and no lip-sync issues in
Game of Thrones action scenes."
- Woofer Output: Dedicated RCA output for subwoofers (80Hz crossover frequency), creating a balanced 2.1 system. Home Theater Guru recommends pairing it with a 10" subwoofer (e.g., SVS SB-1000) for deep bass in movies.
- Speaker Impedance Flexibility: Supports 2-16Ω speakers, allowing mix-and-match setups (e.g., 6Ω bookshelves + 8Ω subwoofer).
- Low Latency Mode: Activate via the APP for gaming consoles (PS5/Xbox Series X), reducing audio delay to <30ms. ResetEra users praise its "competitive edge in FPS games" like Apex Legends.
- Dolby Digital Decoding: While the amp itself doesn’t decode Dolby Atmos, its optical output sends bitstream signals to soundbars or AV receivers that do. Rtings suggests using it as a budget preamp for Atmos setups.
- Room EQ: Use the amp’s 5-band parametric EQ to reduce bass boom in small rooms. A YouTube tutorial demonstrates how to measure and correct frequency response with a smartphone app.
- HDMI Cables: Ensure you’re using a High-Speed HDMI cable (HDMI 2.0 or higher) for ARC functionality. Monoprice offers affordable options tested with CL-300W Pro.
