Adcom GSP-560

GSP-560

From Schubert to Spielberg, Adcom's GSP-560 Surround Sound Processor Amplifier is the no-compromise way to turn your two-channel stereo system into a home theater.

The GSP-560 fully benefits from advanced Dolby Pro Logic® circuitry for the best focus of dialog and music. Left, center and right channel information is clearly defined for an accurate soundstage - even when you're sitting far from the center of your listening/viewing area.

In addition to Dolby Pro Logic mode, Concert Hall, Nightclub, and Five Channel Matrix modes all feature adjustable time delay for the rear channels to ensure an accurate listening experience regardless of room acoustics. Five Channel Stereo mode increases the apparent depth of the sound stage without altering the balance between left and right channels for precise lateral imaging. And a Bypass mode routes the signal away from any surround processing for direct two-channel music reproduction.

The output section of the GSP-560 benefits from Adcom's award-winning power amplifier designs. The 80 watt center channel amplifier and the two 40 watt rear channel amps have greater control over loudspeakers for clarity, definition, and tightness. The amplifiers' ability to provide extremely high bursts of power make certain notes more visceral and more immediate. And the GSP-560's amplifier sections also have enough stability to handle the low impedances presented by the most challenging loudspeakers - even hybrid designs that are rated below two ohms. High capacity heat sinks improve durability by making sure that the amplifier stages always run cool.

A remote control facilitates adjustment of the front, center and rear levels from your favorite listening position. And the GSP-560 facilitates custom installations with line outputs for all channels to allow for higher powered amplifiers.

The GSP-560 even grows in usefulness as you change your equipment and listening environment-the user-friendly and adaptable controls are unequaled in simplicity. The GSP-560 gives you all the flexibility, power, and operating ease you expect from Adcom.
