LOGIC7 is widely regarded as the finest surround decoder available.
A LOGIC7-encoded downmix of multichannel source material is
available when using the Headphone listening modes. If a stereo
source is present, the HEADPHONE L7 listening mode processes it
using LOGIC7, then uses Head Related Transfer Functions to create
a headphone output that introduces a subtle sense of surround
sound, while preserving the original stereo image.
In addition to LOGIC7, the RV-8 offers Dolby Digital Surround EX,
Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS 96/24, DTS neo:6, DTS-ES,
THX Ultra2, and THX Surround EX decoding. THX Ultra2 certification
guarantees that the RV-8 meets the highest THX specifications.
With two floating-point Hammerhead™ digital signal processing
(DSP) engines, the RV-8 boasts enormous processing power. These
powerful processors perform custom Lexicon processing such as
LOGIC7 decoding, bass enhancement, dialog enhancement, auto
azimuth, 5-speaker enhancement, bass management, high-precision
digital crossovers, and audio controls. These features are available at
sample rates up to 96kHz, with 24-bit resolution to retain top
performance from all sources. In addition, a third DSP engine is
dedicated to decoding multi-channel compressed audio sources.
The RV-8 is one of the most advanced audio and video control
centers available. High-precision 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters can
be used to convert stereo analog audio input signals to digital
signals, allowing the RV-8 to provide the benefits of precise digital
signal processing without sacrificing signal integrity. 24-bit/192kHz
D/A converters are available for all output channels. Alternatively,
5.1 channel and stereo analog signals can bypass A/D conversion
and internal processing, following a purely analog signal path
directly to the output connectors.
Digital audio input signals are processed through a two-stage phase
ABOUT THE RV-8
Thank you for purchasing the RV-8 Receiver, 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 eight configurable inputs, each
of which can be assigned to its built-in tuner, eight digital audio,
eight analog audio, phono, five composite video, five S-video, or
three component video input connectors. The analog connectors
can also be configured for up to two 5.1-channel sources.
The RV-8 features an integrated 7-channel power amplifier that is
designed to achieve high levels of power and performance.
Equipped with a toroidal power transformer, the amplifier also
provides thermal and DC protection.
The RV-8 AM/FM stereo radio tuner features four tuning regions,
allows for the automatic or manual storing of up to 40 preset
stations, and is fully configurable for ease of operation. The RV-8
also includes a phono input.
Inside and out, the RV-8 is designed for possible future
upgrades. The rear-panel houses two RS-232 connectors; one capa-
ble of performing configuration downloads and flash memory soft-
ware upgrades and the other capable of supporting future develop-
ments. The rear-panel also includes a large removable access panel
to accommodate connectors for emerging technologies.
More than just an audio and video control center, the RV-8 offers
the latest version of Lexicon’s critically acclaimed LOGIC7®
decoding, which creates a 7.1-channel output signal from stereo,
5.1- and 6.1-channel sources. Unlike other decoders, LOGIC7
decoding is compatible with all input sources and requires no special
encoding. Because the improvement it provides is clearly audible,
