ESP Solutions For Home Theater Systems
Home Theater Is All About The Sound!
A big screen monitor is great, but what would the Home Theater experience be without the technological advancements in audio? It's Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS, 6.1 and 7.1-surround sound that immerses you the viewer into the action, suspense and excitement of what is being viewed!

Greater Complexity, Greater Demands
More audio channels mean a more complex system than typical 2-channel audio. Speakers are positioned all around the room according to the surround format you are setting up. It's arguably even more important to have precise audio reproduction to accurately convey spatial information and sound effects. And then there's the bass! Modern motion pictures especially have a lot of low frequency energy. Reproducing low frequencies places greater demands on your system. You want extension and explosive dynamics without the "boominess" of uncontrolled bass.

Home Theater Applications 2
Multi-Channel Amplification Options
Like 2-channel home audio systems, you can optimize the Home Theater setup because you know where the screen will be located and where people will be sitting. The illustration below shows the various options for speaker placement. With speakers located around the perimeter of the room, you have two amplification options:
   1) a multi-channel amplifier in a central location.
   2) speakers with built-in amplifiers.
Multi-channel amplifiers can require tremendous amounts of current to drive up to 5 speakers and a subwoofer through many feet of speaker cable. For even moderate-sized rooms consider a powered subwoofer. Not only will it help clean-up the bass, it will also take a heavy load off the multi-channel amplifier. For larger rooms, consider powered speakers instead of a centrally located amplifier.
ESP Power Cords Deliver The Power!

Home Theater Applications 1 Which Components Can Most Benefit From Using ESP Power Cords?
Given the greater demands that Home Theater system put on the power amplifier, this component is definitely the place to start. A close second priority is the powered subwoofer. The next priority is the surround sound processor pre-amplifier. This is the heart of your system and all sources will sound better with an ESP cord on it. If most of your components are located in a common rack or shelf system, consider one of our power distributors. ESP power distributors provide the same performance benefits as our power cords and include surge protection.
  • Power-Amplifiers including Multi-channel surround amplifiers or seperates, powered speakers and subwoofers.
  • Surround Sound Processor Pre-Amplifier is the heart of any Home Theater system. It decodes the various surround formats and controls switching, volume and tonal equalization adjustments.
  • Source Components including DVD and CD players, and FM/Satellite radio tuners.
  • Video Monitors and Front Projectors also benefit from using ESP power cords. You'll get brighter whites and darker blacks with less noise for more 3-dimensional picture quality!
