Nine built-in amplifier channels support configurations such as 5.4.4 and 7.4.2. With 11.4-channel processing and external amplification, the CINEMA 50 can expand to more elaborate speaker arrangements.

Four independent subwoofer outputs provide additional flexibility for achieving consistent, controlled bass throughout the listening area.

Optional Dirac Live upgrades provide additional calibration capabilities for enthusiasts seeking greater control over system performance.
