audio receiver
Stereo system component
An audio receiver is an electronic device that receives audio signals and amplifies them for playback through speakers.
In home entertainment, the receiver serves as the central hub connecting various sources—turntables, streaming devices, televisions—to a speaker system: The audio receiver powers both the front and surround speakers.
Receivers decode different audio formats and often include radio tuners.
