Technology

It’s easy to be confused by all of the features and specifications of audio gear—especially when those numbers can be gamed. On first glance, Sherbourn’s numbers may seem like a lot of other components—until you look deeper.

So, what separates “professional caliber” from “consumer gear?” What makes the difference in modern home theater and whole-home power amps. It’s really not all that difficult to understand, if you take a longer look at it.

For us, it comes down to really three things:

1. Building the best possible components to a set of honest specifications, then selling it for a fair price, rather than designing a component to a price, no matter the consequences.
2. Providing exceptional compatibility with the myriad of current HD audio and video formats, as well as tight integration with home control systems.
3. Rating our products very conservatively, with no deceiving specs, such as rating THD below full power, or rating power with only a single channel driven.

On the subsequent pages, you can read more about our technology, and why it results in professional-caliber components that perform, above all.
