Theory Audio Design has announced a new version of its Automator software. AutomatorIP provides the ability to deploy Theory and third-party loudspeaker surround sound systems (up to 7.1 or 5.1.2) on its 8-channel DLC-250.8 loudspeaker controller platform.
At the nucleus of every Theory surround sound system is a loudspeaker controller. You can think of it as the AV version of an integrator’s Swiss army knife, combining the functionality of five products in one: a multichannel DSP processor, high power multichannel home theater and distributed audio amplifier, multichannel mixing amplifier, multichannel bass manager, and high-resolution loudspeaker processor, all in a discreet package.
DLC-250.8 offers 8 channels of intelligent power, full DSP matrix, TCP/IP control through a wired connection or directly via its on-board Wi-Fi access point. With channel-pair power sharing of up to 250 watts, each DLC-250.8 packs a lot of power into a 1U chassis. Theory also employs proprietary DSP techniques to process the signal for its loudspeakers and subwoofers with a very high degree of precision. And, with the addition of Automator IP, the DLC-250.8 is better than ever.
Automator IP runs on a connected PC and the intuitive interface walks installers through a five-step system configuration. Now, with a single DLC-250.8, up to a 7.1 or 5.1.2 Theory or third-party surround system can be configured from start to finish in just 15 minutes. AutomatorIP key features include:
- Set up surround system in minutes
- Optimized Bass Management
- Intelligent power management
- Supports third-party speakers
- No microphones or cables are required
Automator IP is available now for download from the Theory website, here.
