Overview
A small home theater owner gets HDMI switching, Bluetooth streaming and FM radio in one compact box with this amplifier. Video and audio from multiple HDMI sources pass through to a single display and out to five speaker zones. A subwoofer output and spring loaded terminals round out the connections.
Routing multiple HDMI sources through one compact amplifier while also streaming Bluetooth audio makes this a fit for a small home theater corner rather than a full-size receiver setup. Output stays modest, so larger rooms or a serious subwoofer setup may need more power than this box provides. Its small footprint is the compromise buyers make for that convenience.
Who it's for
Apartment dwellers or small home theater owners combining a couple of HDMI sources with basic surround sound suit this amplifier well. Its size also fits a desk or shelf setup where space runs short. Anyone filling a large room or driving a serious subwoofer needs a higher power unit.
Pros and cons
- Three HDMI ports handle multiple sources
- Bluetooth streaming with automatic pairing
- Five sets of spring loaded speaker terminals
- Compact size fits tight spaces
- Power output modest for larger rooms
- No listed HDMI ARC or eARC support
- Runs on external 12V adapter, not internal supply
Performance notes
Video and audio from up to two connected HDMI sources pass through the amplifier to its single HDMI output and connected display. Bluetooth audio, FM radio or a wired subwoofer feed share the same five-channel amplifier stage before reaching the speaker terminals. An external 12V adapter powers the unit rather than an internal transformer, which helps the chassis stay compact.
