One of the latest additions to the Sherwood Newcastle lineup, the R-771 exhibits sonic excellence and exceptional build quality while adding virtually every feature demanded by advanced users and the custom installers. Items like 100 MHz component video bandwidth, re-configurable amplifiers and RS-232 control are no longer confined to the upper pricing stratosphere.
The R-771 features fully discrete amplifiers with high current capability and equal power for all 7 channels. With bandwidth of 100 kHz and worst-case signal to noise ratio exceeding 96 dB, it's fully compatible with the playback requirements of DVD-A, SACD and the many variations of multi-channel Dolby Digital and dts playback.
For decoding and playback enhancements, the R-771 uses Texas Instruments' latest 32-bit marvel, the DA-607. Critical Digital to Analog conversion is carried out superbly by the AK4588, a 192 kHz/24-bit device from AKM with dynamic range of 106 dB. The R-771 uses the same company's AK4588 for Analog to Digital conversion.
The R-771 offers impressive decoding. Its abilities include: DTS-ES Discrete and Matrix; DTS-96/24; DTS NEO-6 Movie and Music; Dolby Digital EX; Dolby Pro Logic IIx; Dolby Headphone Layers 1, 2, 3; and Dolby Virtual Speaker. This is virtually every format available today. It even remasters legacy PCM material such as CDs to 96 kHz sampling frequency and 24-bit word depth for improved sound.
The R-771 also offers automatic system set-up for channel level and distance and both offer SNAP (Sherwood Newcastle Automatic Parametric) Room EQ.
Field Upgradeable: The R-771 can be upgraded in the field to take advantage of new technologies as they become available via its rear-panel RS-232 connection, which also provides a means for advanced communications with third-party control systems such as touchpads, touchscreens or the like.
