sonible’s d:16 multi-channel amplifier delivers brilliant sound for high-end audio installations in science, research, industry and other applications: reliable, true to the signal, compact and unique in its class.
As a true team player, the d:16 effortlessly cooperates with pre-installed systems. The analog inputs of the base model are expandable with three different digital input options: MADI (coaxial and optical), DANTE and AES/EBU. All digital modules are equipped with high-end D/A converters and allow free routing of every single channel. The good news: the modules can easily be retrofitted.
d:series amplifiers equipped with Dante input module offer a matrix mixer feature to sum multiple input channels to multiple output channels.
For maximum comfort with every installation, the d:16 comes with a set of convenient signal processing tools. The optional DSP module offers an equalizer, a compressor, a limiter, and a delay. Even with complex installations, the multi-channel amplifier can thus function as a compact all-in-one solution.
The DSP option turns the d:16 into a flexible partner for implementing compact systems with a large number of speakers – for example, when working with modern 3D audio formats such as Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA) or Wave Field Synthesis (WFS).
All settings of the d:series amplifiers can be remote-controlled via Ethernet connection and a web interface. The web-based control allows for making instant adjustments to the system. Additionally, the d:series amplifiers can be integrated in automation systems via a RESTful API.
For critical development work or sensitive installations, the d:24 additionally features an emergency stop. All channels can be deactivated via an optional hardware switch connected to the amplifier without having to deal with software.
The d:series is the perfect choice for research and development applications in the fields of virtual acoustics (HOA, WFS) and acoustical measurements.
When it comes to the perfect sound for home theaters, surround sound, or multi-room installations, the d:16 is your first choice.
