Overview
The DLC-1500.4d delivers a massive 3000W in a 16 pound chassis. Capable of delivering 1500W into 4 or 8-ohms from any channel pair, or 800W into 2 or 4-ohms all channels driven, this 16lb., 2U loudspeaker controller packs new levels of power into minimal rack space. If that weren’t enough, the DLC-1500.4d can drive 70V/100V hi-Z loudspeakers direct - no internal transformer required.
The DLC-1500.4d is equipped with Dante / AES67 audio-over-IP digital I/O making setting up and deploying even complex distributed audio systems painless and bullet-proof. No bulky analog audio cables are required.
The DLC-1500.4d can drive up to 16 Theory 16-ohm loudspeakers in Lo-Z mode, or over 300 (!) in Hi-Z mode. You read that right, 300+ Theory speakers at 7.5W each.
The DLC loudspeaker controllers from Theory can be configured via its on-board web interface accessible via wired Ethernet, or via its on-board Wifi access point and includes matrix mixing, priority audio routing and ducking, parametric EQ, delay, gain and limiter DSP objects to make system optimization easy.
Full API and modules for AMX, Control4, Crestron, Crestron Home, ELAN, Q-SYS, and RTI are available.
