Well, Lexicon is the first that comes to mind. They are about as close to Pro as you can get on teh consumer side.
The new Audio Control is quite nice as well.
I also think Crestron is shipping their Surround Processor now as well.

The first thing that pops into my head is the Bryston SP1.7.
Unlike other companies... it offers absolutely zero video switching. A pet peeve of mine is to utilize products that have features that I rarely or never use. Most of the projects I am involved with will utilize Crestron or Extron video switching instead.

JBL is probably as commercial as it gets with "commercial" surround systems... its synthesis lines. They use rebadged Lexicon units.
All of the units mentioned offer balanced outputs (some optional) with the exception of the Crestron piece...

the question is , what do you mean by 'quality'. Commercial usually means different output voltage, rack mounting and the ability to deal with spilled beer and cigarette smoke.

Balanced audio would be nice, 232 control, only need a couple audio inputs, no video switching required...durability.

There's always Dolby labs. [Link: dolby.com]This is as pro as it gets. Or go with the Lexicon MC-12 with the balancing kit. Brian

RS232 is finally getting pretty common even on lower fi stuff. Balanced is the expensive part. Lexicon MC12 is a beautiful thing.

As far as I know the only source for a Commercial Surround Processor is Dolby ( DMA8 ) and DTS( 6AD ).
Good Luck
