Overview
StormAudio ISP Core 16 Immersive Sound Processor
The StormAudio ISP Core 16 brings much of the performance and processing technology of StormAudio’s flagship Elite platform to a more compact 3U immersive home theater processor. Designed for high-performance Dolby Atmos home theaters and private cinemas, the Core 16 combines exceptional sound quality, advanced room correction, flexible speaker management, and 16 balanced analog outputs.
The Core 16 features 16 balanced XLR outputs and supports the latest immersive audio formats including Dolby Atmos, DTS Pro, Auro-3D, and IMAX Enhanced. Current StormAudio firmware also provides access to two additional processed channels through the optical outputs, allowing the platform to support configurations of up to 18 processed channels.
Dirac Live Included
The Core 16 includes StormAudio’s comprehensive Dirac implementation with:
- Dirac Live Room Correction
- Dirac Live Bass Control
- Dirac Live Active Room Treatment
- REW integration
Combined with multi-subwoofer support, multi-way speaker management, and up to 20 parametric EQ filters per channel, the Core 16 provides extensive control over how the system interacts with the room.

The Core 16 provides 7 HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs with HDMI 2.1, HDCP 2.3, up to 40Gbps bandwidth, 4K/8K video, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, and ARC/eARC.
