Description
The ARC Audio PS16-Pro is a 16-output stand-alone digital signal processor for complex OEM audio systems and high-channel-count reference builds. It uses an Analog Devices ADAU1462 DSP core with dual AKM Velvet Sound analog-to-digital converters and digital-to-analog converters.
The Pro-Series platform processes high-resolution audio at up to 192 kHz/32-bit end-to-end resolution. ARC Audio DNA software provides extensive equalization, precise delay control, advanced crossovers, phase adjustment, signal summing, and flexible routing across all 16 outputs.
Wide input compatibility, intelligent signal sensing, and iDatalink Maestro AR support allow integration with many factory-amplified systems. Optical and digital-over-copper inputs support high-resolution source configurations.
