Overview
StormAudio ISP Core 16+ Immersive Sound Processor
The StormAudio ISP Core 16+ takes the compact Core platform further with the advanced processing licenses enabled for a more complete high-performance home theater solution. Built on technology derived from StormAudio’s flagship Elite processors, the Core 16+ combines 16 balanced XLR analog outputs, up to 18 processed channels, advanced Dirac Live room correction, Expert Bass Management, StormXT, and HDMI Matrix capability in a compact 3U chassis.
Designed for sophisticated Dolby Atmos home theaters and private cinemas, the Core 16+ supports Dolby Atmos, DTS Pro, Auro-3D, and IMAX Enhanced, along with multi-way speakers and advanced multi-subwoofer systems.
Core 16+ Advanced Features
The Core 16+ configuration adds StormAudio’s advanced licensed capabilities:
- Expert Bass Management
- Flexible Bass Routing
- StormXT Channel Expansion
- HDMI Matrix functionality
Expert Bass Management provides significantly greater control over low-frequency routing, including flexible bass management across multiple zones. This makes the Core 16+ particularly compelling for theaters using multiple independently optimized subwoofers.
Complete Dirac Live Suite
The Core 16+ includes:
- Dirac Live Room Correction
- Dirac Live Bass Control
- Dirac Live Active Room Treatment
- REW integration
Combined with StormAudio’s Expert Bass Management, multi-way speaker processing, multi-subwoofer capabilities, and up to 20 PEQ filters per channel, the Core 16+ provides an extremely powerful platform for professional theater calibration.
HDMI 2.1 & 8K
Connectivity includes 7 HDMI inputs and 2 outputs, HDMI 2.1, HDCP 2.3, 40Gbps bandwidth, 4K/8K video, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, and ARC/eARC.
The Core 16+ is also Roon Ready and integrates with Control4, Crestron, Savant, RTI, URC, Nice, and other professional control systems.
