StormAudio Announces ISR Fusion 20 AV Receiver
StormAudio has announced its new ISR Fusion 20, offering 20 channels of processing with 16 channels of amplification.
Built upon the acclaimed ISP Elite MK3 platform, the Fusion 20 brings a groundbreaking transformation to the market as it becomes the pioneering 20-channel processor that seamlessly incorporates 16 channels of the latest Edge amplification technology developed by Danish-based ICE Power.
The Fusion 20 receiver showcases remarkably low levels of noise and distortion, delivering 150W (80hm) per channel and 500W (80hm) when bridged, according to the company. It also has the DSP power to decode all the latest immersive formats up to 11.1.8 (Auro-3D, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro, and IMAX Enhanced) and enable post-processing to optimise any speaker to any room straight out of the box.
With what the company says is "the most advanced implementation of Dirac Live Active Room Treatment", it offers easy and accurate room calibration, supporting up to 20 PEQs per channel. It can drive up to four-way active crossovers and accommodate an unlimited number of subwoofers, providing exceptional versatility in audio configurations.
The ISR Fusion 20 has a fixed architecture, but the upgradeability of the HDMI board remains possible whenever new upgrades are released. It currently supports HDMI2.1a/HDCP2.3 up to 8K/4K120 with HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision, and ARC/eARC.
Various tools can easily control this receiver, ranging from the included IR remote control to home automation systems or the Android/iOS app available on smartphones or tablets. It also comes with StormAudio's intuitive User Interface and user-friendly Speaker Configurator.
At the 2023 CEDIA Expo, the ISR Fusion 20 won several industry awards highlighting its high performance and quality: CEDIA Best New Product and Residential Systems Best of Show.
Local pricing has not yet been confirmed, however the ISR Fusion 20 is expected to be available in late November 2023, selling for £19,999 in the UK and $31,999 AUD in Australia.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
