AudioControl is incorporating Dante network connectivity into the Director Model M4800D multizone amplifier, eight-channel platform. The AudioControl Director Model M4800D combines 100 watts/8-Ohms, 200 watts/4-Ohms of output into an 8x4 stereo matrix that extracts clarity and detail from any loudspeaker, plus onboard DSP (digital signal processing) including graphic and parametric equalization by zone. The M4800D allows for the ability to bridge channels, giving integrators configuration flexibility for any imaginable system design.
