AVR 132
Harman Kardon AVR 132 5.1 AV receiver black/silver
The Harman Kardon AVR 132 is a compact yet remarkably capable 5.1‑channel AV receiver that brings new life to your music and home cinema. With support for Dolby® Digital, DTS®, Logic 7®, Dolby Pro Logic II and multiple surround modes, the AVR 132 transforms movies, games and music into an immersive, room‑filling experience.
Harman Kardon is known for honest engineering rather than inflated marketing numbers — and the AVR 132 is a perfect example. All performance data are measured according to the strict CEA‑2019 standard, meaning the listed wattage reflects real‑world, all‑channels‑driven performance, not theoretical peaks.
Where many receivers advertise unrealistic watt figures, the AVR 132 delivers true 30 W × 5 power at 8 ohms, 20–20,000 Hz, <0.07% THD, with all channels driven simultaneously. This is backed by a robust power supply with 540 W maximum consumption and ±25 A High‑Current Capability (HCC), ensuring effortless control even during demanding action scenes or musical peaks.
The result?
Perfect sound instead of marketing watts.
Your speakers have rarely sounded this confident, controlled and alive.
