Description:

The Sony TA-E9000Es is a high performance AV Control Amplifier. This page has been made to discuss the features and the technical details of this product. The information is sourced from the users manual, a nice brochure made by Sony and other sources.

The TA-E9000ES features 2 of Sony's newly developed 32-bit DSP LSIs designed especially for Digital Cinema Processing, allowing you to experience the full impact of 3 of Hollywood's leading dubbing theatres with as few as 2 speakers. A separate 32-bit DSP enables exceptionally accurate decoding of three of the most advanced multi-channel formats available - Dolby Digital, dts and MPEG Multichannel.

As of this writing the TA-E9000ES has been more or less discontinued by Sony. A replacement named TA-E10ES have been rumored to be in the works, but the launch of the new control amplifier has been indefinitely delayed. Don't expect any news on the TA-E10ES until 2003, if ever... Also, the model name may very well be changed if Sony ever decides to release a new surround pre amplifier. At the moment it looks like Sony is concentrating on making integrated home theater amplifiers instead. Personally I have now switched my surround processing duties to the Denon AVR-5803 (aka AVC-A1SR in Europe) THX Ultra2 A/V surround amplifier.
