Lewis CaliburnAudioControl will be exhibiting its A/V solutions in two locations at the upcoming 2024 ISE trade show, including its array of award-winning amplifiers that support Dante network connectivity.
On show will be the Director Model M6800D Amplifier, which is designed and built for CI professionals. The 16-channel Director Model M6800D with Dante network connectivity is optimised for any size entertainment system, boasting a true, conservatively measured 100 watts/8-Ohms, 200 watts/4-Ohms per channel.
Housed in a 2U chassis, the Model M6800D also features AudioControl’s award-winning DSP engine that includes graphic and parametric equalisation by zone, plus a switching matrix that delivers the highest quality entertainment programming to any zone with unmatched flexibility. The AudioControl Director Model M6800D is available now.
“Dante is a very innovative and exciting technology that allows dealers to deliver high-performance audio to any zones across projects large and small over a standard enterprise-grade network,” explains Chris Kane, AudioControl’s VP of Sales. “As thought leaders in our industry, we are developing a series of Dante training modules to educate our dealers on how to best utilise this beneficial technology. We look forward to meeting our partners at ISE in Barcelona!”
With the Dante-enabled Director Model M6800D amplifier, integrators can tailor the sound to each zone based on DSP profiles of leading speaker brands included as part of AudioControl’s Sound Partners Program, and then fine-tune the sound based on the acoustic properties of any space.
AudioControl has recently added speaker profiles to its Sound Partners Program from Origin, Ambisonic, and Totem, plus invisible speaker models from Amina and Sonance, enabling integrators to deliver best performance in any zone.
The audio inputs on the AudioControl Director Model M6800D also function as audio encoders and can route source signals to the M6800D or put them on the Dante network for easy access anywhere on the project.
The Director Model M6800D can be used as a standalone solution or as part of a complete smart home environment with drivers available for popular 3rd party control systems including Crestron, Savant, RTI and Control 4.
Also on display at ISE will be the AudioControl CM Series 70-volt amplifiers, which also offer Dante connectivity. The CM Series amplifiers feature the flexibility of both 70-volt and 4/8-Ohm (Dual-Mode) compatibility and are ideally suited for commercial and residential A/V installations.
CM Series amplifiers have established a new standard of performance in the realm of 70-volt amplifiers, leveraging a Constant Power Mode architecture that features GaN (Gallium Nitride) semiconductors – a circuit engineered to deliver more output power, greater efficiency and optimised sound quality, which, according to the manufacturer, far surpasses the performance of conventional 70-volt solutions.
AudioControl CM Series amplifiers are also available now.
AudioControl will be at ISE at booths 2K400 and at AT AVProEdge, 5D800.
