Based on the critically acclaimed line of Lexicon preamp/ processors and
power amplifiers, the RV-8 was designed from the ground up with the
enthusiast in mind. The massive power amplifier section outputs an
impressive 140 watts on each of its seven channels across the entire audi-
ble spectrum with all seven channels driven simultaneously. And it does
so while retaining exceptional transparency, wide dynamic range and sonic
neutrality. The RV-8 delivers real power that makes stand-alone multi-
channel power amplifiers blush. Mated with an exceptional preamp/
processor utilizing the latest algorithms, including LOGIC 7 and an intu-
itive user interface, the RV-8 can be viewed as “separates” that happen to
share the same chassis.
The RV-8 Receiver is an 8-channel audio and video control center with
independent zone monitoring that provides control of audio and video
source selection in three zones at the same time.The RV-8 includes a host
of inputs: a built-in tuner, eight digital audio, eight analog audio, phono, five
