The Sony STR-AZ1000ES brings Sony's renowned Elevated Standard (ES) engineering and custom-installation versatility to 7.2-channel 8K home theatre systems. Delivering a true 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms (20 Hz to 20 kHz, 0.09% THD, 2 channels driven), the STR-AZ1000ES incorporates a rigid Frame Beam Base (FBB) chassis structure, a heavily damped power transformer mounting plate, and precision audio grade components that minimize mechanical vibration and electrical noise. Combined with Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping and Digital Cinema Auto Calibration IX (D.C.A.C. IX), it constructs an enveloping three-dimensional soundstage with phantom speakers that adapt seamlessly to your room acoustics.
