DOLBY DMA16301

We are pleased to announce the release of the Dolby® Multichannel Amplifier DMA16301, an updated 16-channel amplifier with enhanced power handling for lower impedance loudspeakers.  The DMA16301 complements the existing 24- and 32-channel amplifiers, the DMA24300 and the DMA32300, respectively. The updated DMA16301 offers improved performance that enables it to better support a broader range of loudspeakers in an auditorium, including screen channels, low-frequency components and subwoofers. Additionally, it now integrates with traditional 5.1/7.1 cinema processors, such as the Dolby® Digital Cinema Processor CP750, via a qualified external analog-to-digital converter, the Yamaha Tio1608-D. The DMA amplifiers now support the following output power:

We are also announcing the release of the Dolby Multichannel Amplifier software version 2.0.0, which is compatible with all DMA hardware. This software release adds the following new capabilities:

• Compatibility with our qualified analog-to-digital converter solution, the Yamaha Tio1608-D, that enables 5.1/7.1 audio input from the Dolby® Digital Cinema Processor CP750. A new accessory cable, the DMA-ACC-YAM-ADC, is now available to facilitate connecting the CP750 to the Yamaha Tio1608-D.
• Full cross-point matrix input/output routing—a new graphical interface for routing has been added which allows you to connect inputs to outputs for easy installation
• New per-channel output gain setting
• Pink noise signal generation
