SONY STRH590 5.2多通道4K HDR AV接收方审查

4K and HDR are the new resolution standard, period. 1080p is trying its darndest to stay relevant, but that ship is slowly sailing away. As a new generation of TVs enter our living rooms, the demand for updated audio equipment is becoming an international crisis. Okay… maybe that’s a bit of an overstatement, but it really is a problem. If you’re using a receiver that’s not built for 4K, you’re not really watching 4K quality video. If your receiver doesn’t have a direct pass 4K pass through, then you might as well have a 1080 set. That’s just the reality of the situation.

There’s no denying that 4K and HDR have changed the way we absorb our media. The higher resolution makes our viewing experience more immersive than ever before—but it takes two medias to tango. What is the point of watching amazing video if you don’t have amazing audio to go with it? We, for one, are taking a stand. Everybody, grab a partner and a picket sign and take to the streets! We have a feeling Bernie Sanders is going to have a new cause in 2020.

我们最近有机会看看新的SONY STR-DH590 AV接收器。索尼的最新进入他们的音频视觉接收器的进入令人印象深刻的功能，包括5.2多通道环绕声，4K HDR通过，杜比视觉成像技术和蓝牙连接。STR-DH590是索尼的中端接收器，舒适地在下端模型，STR-DH190及其价格选择，STR-DN1080之间。

HDR通过

这里的最重要的注意功能是STR-DH590的直接4K和HDR通过，这是一个功能，允许具有高动态范围兼容电视和媒体的人来体验HDR视频，而不会由于多种调整而牺牲视频质量。当我们将该接收器与不具有HDR通过的接收器进行比较时，存在非常显着的差异。

图像对比度得多，并且视觉效果更加明亮。我们还注意到阴影细节和亮点的重大增加，导致更丰富多彩和沉浸的体验。STR-DH590支持最新的HDR标准，包括HDR10，HLG（混合日志伽玛）和杜比视觉。由于其多功能性和HDR性能，STR-DH590是我们审查的更令人印象深刻的4K接收器之一。

扬声器设置

STR-DH590提供5.2个多通道环绕声，每个通道145瓦。由于5.2系统提供的额外的次低音扬声器输出，音频的丰富度随着隆隆的双倍而增强。5.2通道声音提供了比5.1通道系统更具电影的电影经验。五位扬声器设置是相同的，但整合额外的次低音扬声器的能力将创建深隆隆声，只有戏剧扬声器可以提供。

除了5.2频道外，STR-DH590还支持2.1通道虚拟声音系统，使用S-Force Pro Front Surround Sound造成更少的声音，声音更像。只使用两个扬声器，虚拟环绕声体验使用声音工程来创建环绕声的幻觉。虽然2.1频道系统显然不如5.2频道系统，但是2.1是一个尚未准备好在五位扬声器系统上删除额外面团的替代品。

Calibration

Anyone who has installed a sound system at multiple locations, rather it be because you had to move or just decided to set up a surround system in a second room, knows that every room handles sound a bit different. Everything from the insulation, to construction material, to the rooms dimensions can affect the way that sound is perceived. Sony’s Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (D.C.A.C.) system is the most convenient and user friendly way to optimize your sound.

D.C.A.C系统自动分析一个房间的acoustics and then uses the collected data to calibrate and adjust various audio levels. The result is optimized sound, much like that of a surround sound system that has been professionally installed. After allowing the auto calibration to do its thing, the difference was night and day. Everything sounded so much more balanced. We felt like our ears were hearing what they were supposed to be hearing. It was a marked change over other surround systems we had used in the past.

HDCP合规性

4K通过没有令人失望。索尼表示，它们通过硬件允许可视数据通过接收器而不会影响显示屏的视觉完整性。结果是4K质量视频，实际上看起来像4K质量的视频。STR-DH590也是HDCP 2.2兼容的，这意味着您不应遇到任何4K或HDR内容的故障。

如果您不太确定HDCP是什么，它几乎相当于副本保护，即某些vhs磁带使用。一些平台将不允许您在没有支持HDCP 2.2的情况下玩4K质量视频，这包括Roku和Amazon等主要平台。虽然您将无法侦察Daredevil最新的季节，但您将能够观看Kingpin的秃头，闪亮的头部令人惊叹的4K HDR清晰度。

Bluetooth

STR-DH590还具有蓝牙连接，可允许您直接通过音频视觉接收器无线地流式传输音频。我们通过环绕声系统欣赏我们最喜欢的艺术家的美好时光。LED Zeppelin，Metallica，滚动石，香料女孩和黑色安息日等经典摇滚乐队均通过5.2频道的音频硬件响起了惊人的爆破。我们最喜欢的爵士乐艺术家，包括迈尔斯戴维斯，雄性僧侣，布兰妮·皮尔斯和路易斯阿姆斯特朗，令人光滑，深情。

The STR-DH590 also features Bluetooth Standby, which allows you to turn your receiver on, directly from your smartphone. If you’re anywhere as lazy as we are, then you’ll find Bluetooth Standby to be one of your favorite and oft-used features.

Ambient Reverb EQ

如果您是那种更喜欢拥有其EQ设置预设的人或GAL，则STR-DH590具有一堆直观设计的环境混响预设选项，这些选项应该满足大多数味道。包括5个频道立体声（让扬声器做所有的工作），大厅（这增加了一些混响来模拟音乐厅体验），Jazz Club（更精致的声音），Live Concert（对于更开放而且还有更开放的声音）ambient sound), Sports (we’re not quite sure what sports are. Maybe it’s just “ports” spelled incorrectly?), and Stadium, which makes the audio sound bouncy and muddled. Some people just don’t like to be in large crowds. For those of you who can’t handle a large public event, using a 5.2 surround system with ambient reverb is a solution, albeit not a crazily accurate one.

方面

One of the things you’ll probably want to consider before springing for the STR-DH590 are the device’s dimensions. Considering the quality that Sony is able to engineer out of this puppy, the form factor is very manageable. The AVR measures 17 inches by 5 ¼ inches by 11 ¾” (430 mm x 133 mm x 297 mm), which was significantly smaller than we were expecting. There have been too many occasions in the past when we have impulsively bought a receiver without doing our research, only to find that the AVR didn’t fit in the nook we had designated.

We don’t expect finding space will be a major issue with the STR-DH590 considering its relatively short height. The receiver weighs 15.65 lbs., so it’s not the lithest gadget in the world, but the weight is pretty much a none issue. You’re going to have to carry this device less than a handful of times before you set it down at its destination, and once it’s home, it’s staying home. Yet, we couldn’t help but notice that we looked slightly more jacked after installing the receiver.

Rear Ports, Outputs and Inputs

在接收器的背面，您将找到四个HDMI端口，所有这些都是HDCP 2.2兼容，因为我们在此评论之前提到，但它具有重复。对于大多数人的需求，四个港口有足够的空间。使用您的想象力为您的完美设备组合。除了四个HDMI端口外，您还可以找到标准同轴电缆，光学和天线端口以及各种音频输入端口，包括四个立体声RCA输入，全尺寸的¼“耳机插孔和有线扬声器输入。

最后的想法

有一些关于的东西STR-DH590感觉非常完整。很多明显的是，索尼放大了大量的时间和精力，使这个接收器成为一个极其多功能的设备。STR-DH590的价值和功能强度的组合使索尼的AVR成为市场上最理想和最实用的音频设备之一。使用5.2多通道环绕声，2.1通道S-Force Pro虚拟环绕声，4K和HDR通过，蓝牙连接，自动校准和充足的港口房地产，STR-DH590是每个人的最佳选择。

If you’re looking to add a few more speakers into your sound system, you might want to consider upgrading to Sony’s STR-DN1080, which offers 7.2 plus Phantom Rear Surround which lets you simulate the sound of a seven channel system with only five speakers, sort of like the 2.1 virtual system available on the STR-DH590. If you don’t need 4K pass through, only have two speakers, or don’t mind significant less wattage, the low-end STR-DH190 is a more cost effective option. In all honestly, the amount of money you would save with the STR-DH190 doesn’t measure up to the amount of functionality you lose. That’s why the STR-DH590 is the clear winner of the bunch.

If you haven’t jumped on the 4K HDR train quite yet, we suggest you take the leap. 4K resolution is rapidly taking over and it would be a shame to be palling around with out-of-date technology. If you don’t think that 4K would make a difference, go visit any Walmart and compare TV screens. While 4K is like staring out of an open window, 1080p feels more like looking through a screened window. It really makes a big difference. If you decide that upgrading your audio to match the immersive experience of your 4K display, the STR-DH590 is a solid choice. We recommend it.
