Sony's catalog has finally received the AV amplifier that they had previously announced for the United States and that will now finally arrive in Europe. We talk about TA-AN1000, a very interesting AV receiver that has no problem managing all your multimedia equipment with one 8K maximum resolution. Already thinking about twinning your Xbox Series X and PS5? This device is the solution.
The cinema literally at home
These devices are designed for those who use a quality independent speaker system in home cinema format, but also for users who have a large number of audio and video devices. This receiver has a total of 6 HDMI inputs and two outputs that provide 8K or 4K signals at 120 Hz, compatible with IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Vision, HLG and HDR 10.
Automatic spatial calibration
If there is a particularly interesting function, it is the automatic calibration system, a function that is responsible for mapping the room to adjust the volume and the speakers so that they can emulate virtual speakers and achieve 360 degree spatial audio. Thus, a very faithful sound experience with Dolby Atmos and DTS: X is achieved.
The process is quite complex, since it is capable of measuring the height and position of each speaker thanks to a calibration microphone that is included with the equipment. The result is a set of physical and virtual speakers that provide an absolutely immersive sound experience.
Ideal for new generation consoles
That Xbox Series X and PS5 combo now makes more sense than ever with this receiver. And is that the TA-AN1000 is compatible with variable refresh rate (VRR) And the automatic low latency mode (ALLLM), making it ideal for connecting to newer generation consoles that offer these features.
Thus, you will be able to connect both consoles to the device, enjoy the best image quality on your TV with a single cable to it and output the sound through a high-end speaker system.
Maximum connectivity
As if that were not enough, the receiver is compatible with wireless connection technologies such as AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, integrated Chromecast and the Sonos connection system, in addition to being able to control the device remotely with the Google assistant.
How much does it cost?
At the moment Sony has not ruled on the official price in euros of this equipment, but taking into account that in the United Kingdom it has a price of Libras 999, we expect it to be between 999 euros and 1.200 euros. The team will arrive in stores in the month of June, so we will have to wait a little longer to be able to get hold of it.
