HARMAN KARDON AVR 1510S 75-watt, 5.1-channel

The AVR 1510S high-performance, audio/video receiver pumps out 75 watts per channel to power a full 5.1-channel surround sound system. It can also connect to powered subwoofers to provide enhanced low-frequency performance for your music, movies, HDTV shows, sports and video games. While the amplifier retains the time-tested Harman Kardon high-current-capacity (HCC), ultrawide-bandwidth amplifier design to ensure the most accurate, dynamic sound with enhanced clarity and realism, even at the highest listening levels, a digitally based power supply gives the amplifier all the muscle it needs without the weight of traditional power-supply designs and their heavy transformers. The net result is a great-sounding product in a smaller form factor that is friendly to the environment.

The AVR 1510S can connect to compatible Apple devices, such as the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, directly via its front-panel USB jack, and play their content without the need for an external adapter.
