| Since Bob Carver's entry into the
home theater A/V preamp market years ago with the highly-acclaimed
and award winning Sunfire Theater Grand, Bob and his team kept busy
cooking up new ways to improve the design. The amazing Theater Grand
II which followed was a huge success. Bob has done it again with his
third generation Theater Grand III. This one redefines "Home
Theater."
Like its predecessors, the Theater Grand III is foremost an audiophile-grade
preamplifier. Bob and his team designed it to produce a warm and
engaging soundstage – both your movie and music soundtracks
will be smooth and dynamic. The Theater Grand III features numerous
surround modes including Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby
Pro Logic II, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and user-configurable all-speaker
stereo. It also includes an incredible new digital implementation
of Bob's wildly successful Holographic Imaging, which substantially
adds to the acoustic space of any stereo recording.
The control system on the Theater Grand III takes into consideration
the needs of the modern AV system. The Theater Grand III’s
remote is a powerful new preprogrammed and learning LCD-based design
(click HERE to see it). The Theater Grand III includes an RS 232
communication port to allow easy operation from any custom control
system, as well as an IEEE-1394 (Firewire™) port for future
expansion. The Theater Grand III also includes an AM/FM tuner with
40 presets, an eight-channel input for DVD-Audio or SACD, eight
balanced XLR outputs, a Phono stage, and much, much more. We urge
you to see one right away at your local Sunfire Dealer.
