This one is for Big Dan, I need a pure Home Theatre processor. I'm sure there is a market for people like me who have separate high end stereo systems and do not listen to CD's and other stereo music sources on their HT systems. Anyone who needs that has the RMC-1 series. Features of this processor would be: - Five or more HDMI Inputs 2 HDMI outputs all supporting 8k. - Should allow the video to pass through while processing the audio if that is possible. - No video up-scaling. - All or at least the floor channels being Differential Ref channels with XLR outputs throughout for power amps like the current top models, - Audio processing like current models. - Ethernet for DIRAC OK but no Wi-Fi. Nothing that can interfere with the audio and video signal internally on the processor. - Preferred configuration would be 8.6.4 expandable. 8 floor channels (FL, Centre, FR, SR, SL, SBL SBR, SB Centre), 6 height and 4 dedicated subs (Not sure if DIRAC supports rear centre). That's it. NO features like a built in Receiver, DAB, digital or analogue inputs. Any chance of getting this processor from Emotiva. RMC-2 - watered down version of the RMC-1? Cheers,

No such thing as a “pure” HT processor, therefore no chance of obtaining one. The industry, such as it is has made that a certainty. No fault of EMO (to be sure)

Fat chance - start your own company. Actually, most Ht pre pros do pretty much what you are asking. Most (actually all, I think) just pass through the video and operate only on the audio for which they must use available chips. Limiting to XLR fully differential outputs severely reduces the market appeal, but hey, your company will definitely not care about profitability or market depth, only about your own limited objectives.

No interest here, as I use my RMC-1 to drive both an HT and 2C system, but I can understand wanting something stripped down. Interesting point about WiFi though, even if it probably wouldn’t interfere, my airwaves are pretty congested with ioT devices that have no alternative. Though it will have wired Gig, hopefully the WiFi can be turned off on the G4P.
… and the reason I actually posted … Welcome to The Lounge!

This post was a suggestion and not a criticism of Emotiva or any other manufacturer. Just a request for a product I having been looking for.
There is no need for your condescending and rude comments.

Wow! (Good answer!) Even if we part company regarding what we’re looking for in a processor there is a way to talk about it and a way not to. The processor remains as probably the most difficult of all the components to bring on board and satisfy those objectives in your particular situation, whatever that may be. My best way of characterizing it perhaps lies in the fact that the company I enjoyed for years for the “command center” jumped ship one day and dropped out of the game all together. Apparently, the never ending task of trying to build a component that could be all things to most people was becoming impossible. No small wonder it’s a pretty small field these days to buy one at this level. |

Whatever! I had no right to respond to a directive aimed at Big Dan even though this is a semi-public forum. You seem to have product specification/marketing skills and you should be flattered that I think you should start your own company. Who knows, maybe engineering products to individual requests is an ingenious idea that could be turned into a profitable business methodology. Anyway as an 80 year old life long electrical engineer, manager and audiophile, I should have learned how to deal with such sensitivities. If this also comes across to you as condescending, and it might, just block me as I will you. |

The effectiveness and value of any response, on this forum, is diminished when framed in a rude and condescending fashion. The preamble of: "Fat chance - start your own company", ruined what was otherwise a reasonable response and can only be interpreted as rude and condescending. Avmania, nor anyone else, said you had no right to respond. Why the contentiousness? |

A home theater processor is primarily designed for home theater, adding secondary 2 channel capabilities for those who don’t have a separate 2 channel room (which is almost everyone). I think you only need to be concerned if the added 2 channel capabilities somehow compromise the quality of theater processing. I know from a recent switch to my first processor, the Anthem AVM-70 8k, that that is definitely not the case. There is no confusion that it is trying to be a Swiss Army knife. It’s a home theater processor with additional capabilities. They make a dedicated 2 channel preamp that is almost twice the price.
