Theory Audio Design - ALC1809 9 Channel Amplified Loudspeaker Controller - Now On Show at Vision Living
At the heart of every Theory system lies an Amplified Loudspeaker Controller (ALC). The ALC-1809 when used as the core of a speaker array ranging from 2.1 to a 5.2.2 ATMOS surround sound system automatically configures itself for high-resolution Digital Signal Processing of the Theory loudspeakers purchased. The ALC1809 sets audio levels, delays, bass management and signal routing within the system. Now on show at Vision Living. (More information)

Theory Audio Design - ALC-1809 - Amplified Loudspeaker controller...
For advanced applications - larger format surround sound and distributed audio - the ALC-1809 is the audio equivalent of a Swiss-Army knife: including 9-high power amplifier channels, 8 balanced analogue audio inputs, 1 mic/line level input (software selectable), 96kHz/32-bit DSP processing including full signal routing, gain adjustment, 8x8 matrix bass-management, 8x8 matrix mixing, 160 parametric EQ's (20 per channel), automatic audio signal ducking for intercom and paging (perfect to allow Amazon Alexa and other voice assistants to page any or all of the distributed audio system channels), Internal band-limited and full band pink noise and sine sources, and up 75msec of delay per channel. All in a fan-less, stylish, 1U chassis.
"The fact that Theory Audio was able to pack this much power into a 1U chassis was truly remarkable."
