Preamp and Surround Processor
OWNER'S MANUAL
The NuForce AVP 16 is designed for simplicity and expandability with the focus on providing first-rate
audio performance. The 7.1-channel analog preamp inputs (8 total channels) can be used to support the
decoded output from future DVD players. By shutting off the video circuit (when CD input is selected) the
AVP-16 becomes a true audiophile quality preamp.
Those who listen to the AVP-16 are struck by its wide dynamic range, smooth lifelike midrange
presentation, and its natural, grain-free treble. The bass is deep and articulate, providing plenty of kick and
drive for both music and movie soundtracks.
We, at NuForce thank you for your purchase and are confident that the AVP-16 will enhance your home
theater and music-listening experience. Before using the AVP-16, please take a few moments to read this
instruction manual and familiarize yourself with its convenient features, settings, and adjustments.
