It offers some of the most advanced features on the market and unrivalled sound quality, for an immersive movie experience.
Multiple Connections
Astral 16 integrates a Pascal Audio Class D amplifier and features 16 channels, 12 of which are self-powered and 4 pre-amplified (balanced XLR outputs) and dedicated to audio (filtering, equalization, bass management).
Polyvalence
The result of a partnership with StormAudio (Immersive Audio Technologies), a French specialist in very high-end audio-video electronics, Astral 16 supports all audio formats: Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro-3D.
Customized Settings
Astral 16 can be adjusted to suit the listening room, thanks to room calibration technology (with Dirac Live) and a measuring microphone. Compatible with Control4, Crestron, Elan, Savant and RTI, it also benefits from these interfaces for remote system control.
Unlimited Configuration
From an app on the App Store and via iPad, configure the system of your choice by room. Technical support (remote monitoring) provides a diagnosis of your equipment at any time.
