The global Surround Sound Preamps market size is predicted to grow from US$ 259 million in 2025 to US$ 385 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2025 to 2031.
Surround Sound Preamps are the brains of all mid to high end home theater systems. They are similar to AV receivers in that they provide source switching and decoding, audio/video processing and volume control for various surround sound formats. But unlike an AV receiver, a Surround Sound Preamp has no built-in amplification and is dedicated to serving as the "brain" of the system. This means they generally have more processing power available. Includes additional channels, flexible adjustment and calibration options. They also cost more because higher quality components must be included to improve performance.
