The AudioControl Director M6800D is engineered to deliver high-power amplification tailored for diverse acoustic environments. With Dante support, it bridges efficient audio networking and robust signal processing.
The Director M6800D operates as a 16-channel DSP matrix amplifier utilizing advanced digital signal processing to ensure optimal audio performance. Each of the 16 channels is rated for 100 watts into 8 Ohms, doubling to 200 watts per channel at 4 Ohms, allowing it to drive high impedance low-frequency loudspeakers effectively. Bridging outputs can deliver up to 400 watts into 8 Ohms, supplying sufficient energy for demanding loudspeaker loads. The integration of networked audio through Dante technology further manifests its versatility, enabling the allocation and routing of audio signals across devices with negligible latency. The built-in DSP capabilities allow for multi-zone configurations, with fine-tuning capabilities such as equalization and crossover adjustments — vital for achieving accurate sound reproduction in variable acoustic environments.
