To use the digital surround processor
with a 551 Integrated Amplifier
The 551 Integrated Amplifier provides an ideal companion to the
digital surround processor because its preamplifier section can
be used to supply up to five analogue sources, with the power
amplifier section used to drive one pair of speakers.
