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.
