+description: The d:16 multi-channel amp delivers brilliant sound for high-end
+  audio installations in science, research, and industry.
+details: |-
+  The d:16 is a 16-channel power amplifier for high-end audio installations in science, research and industry, rated at 250 W per channel into 4 Ω and 125 W into 8 Ω, with a signal-to-noise ratio above 112 dB per channel. Sixteen channels of amplification fit into three rack units, and the chassis weighs about 20 kg.
+
+  The base model takes analog audio on two DB-25 sockets wired to the Tascam analog norm. A factory-fitted digital input slot accepts one of three optional cards: MADI (coaxial and optical), Dante or AES/EBU. All digital modules carry D/A converters and allow free routing of every single channel, and a unit fitted with the Dante module adds a 16x16 matrix mixer for summing multiple input channels to multiple output channels (firmware 3.0 or higher required).
+
+  An optional DSP module adds per-channel signal processing: gain up to 20 dB, delay up to 11.5 ms and phase inversion, crossover with low cut and high cut (Linkwitz-Riley, Bessel or Butterworth up to 4th order), five parametric EQ bands (bell, shelf or cut), and a compressor and limiter with soft knee. With the DSP option the amplifier works as a compact all-in-one solution for systems carrying a large number of speakers, such as Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA) or Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) installations.
+
+  All settings are remote-controlled over an Ethernet connection and a web interface, and the amplifier can be integrated into automation systems through a RESTful API. The rear panel also carries a 4-pin Euroblock panic mute connector for a hardware mute switch: the circuit is closed in normal operation and opening it hard-mutes every channel, and the connector can be cascaded across up to five amplifiers. A 6.5 inch resistive touch display on the front handles local setup.
+
+  Typical applications are research and development work in virtual acoustics (HOA, WFS) and acoustical measurements, and custom installations such as home theatres, surround sound and multi-room systems.
