Monolith by Monoprice HTP-1

Yes, the HTP-1 is a processor, not a receiver. You will need to connect it to external power amplifiers to drive your speakers.

Dirac Live Bass Control manages the low-frequency output across all your subwoofers and speakers. It ensures a seamless transition between them, resulting in tighter, more accurate bass response throughout your room.

Absolutely. Because the unit is Roon Ready, it integrates directly into your Roon ecosystem, allowing you to stream high-resolution audio files with ease.

The HTP-1 supports the industry-standard immersive formats, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D, providing full compatibility for modern cinematic soundtracks.

16 channels provide significant flexibility for advanced setups, such as 9.1.6 configurations. It is more than enough for most dedicated home theaters, allowing for extensive height and surround speaker placement.

While the HTP-1 offers professional-grade customization, it is designed for enthusiasts who are comfortable with advanced audio calibration. If you are new to Dirac Live or complex processor configurations, expect a learning curve during the initial setup.
