Home Audio Receivers are the back-bone of any av system, General & Install Necessities carries models by Audiosource, AMC, Channel Plus, Channel Vision, Breathe Audio, HIFI Works, & others. Sometimes referred to as Stereo, AV, Home Theater, Surround Sound, and Audio Video Receivers, they provide most of the connections to the rest of your system. Many Audio Receivers are digital these days, as opposed to the analog or vacuum tube amps of the past.
Many Home Audio Receivers are fully capable of running a whole house music system, as well as home theater systems, without the need for additional Power Amps. These units have multiple channel / zone outputs for multi zone connectivity. If they do not have multi channel capability, one will have to worry about low impedance when connecting multiple speaker pairs to one zone. Most units are capable of running at 4 or 8 Ohm. Ohms are a measure of resistance, which is monitored or measured as impedance. For a multi zone system without multizone capability, one will have to use an impedance matching/protecting device to run the separate zones so the impedance will not reach a dangerously low level, which as stated will destroy the amplifier. Connecting impedance matching volume controls in line, or wiring to a multi zone speaker selector will achieve this.
Regardless of which type of unit you are looking for, General & Install Necessities has a model for you!
