AudioControl's VP of Sales, Chris Kane, discusses how consumers are gravitating toward home entertainment and amplifying their home cinema experience. AudioControl can help you create a system that allows them to connect to their content on an emotional level, creating memorable experiences that keep them (and their friends) coming back (to you) for more.
With the effortless accessibility of streaming audio and video content at home, consumers have gravitated toward creating either a dedicated home cinema or a multipurpose living space that can accommodate a surround sound experience for the entire family. There are many advantages to enjoying movies, concerts, sporting events and more from the comforts of home—better snack food and beverages, access to your favorite blanket and of course a shorter trip home after the show. And as many people are inclined to shelter from public gatherings in the wake of Covid-19, the role of the home cinema has become even more prominent.
AudioControl is here to help integrators deliver the best entertainment packages for each and every client. We think the key to success in this category is to blow your customer’s expectations out of the water. A finely calibrated home theater system connects with people on an emotional level—this is an opportunity to differentiate your business and earn valuable referrals by presenting your clients with an astonishing and unforgettable entertainment experience, all from the comforts of their favorite chair.

Room Correction
All AudioControl receivers and preamp/processors are available with two key features from Dirac: Dirac Live Bass Control (DLBC) and Dirac Live Room Correction. DLBC is a brand new feature that is powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence to intelligently co-optimize the subwoofers and loudspeakers in any theater configuration so that they are able to deliver consistent, balanced and accurate bass throughout an entire room. DLBC enables the integrator to position the subwoofers anywhere in the room – wherever most aesthetically pleasing – without sacrificing performance for design, or vice versa. Imagine delivering a theater to your clients that can measure and phase-correct the speakers and subwoofers across a full spectrum of frequencies to produce the highest level of bass clarity and detail! This unprecedented level of performance is a valuable tool you can use to deliver the best possible home cinema—brought to you by your friends at AudioControl.
Flagship Preamp/Processor
The AudioControl Maestro X9 Preamp/Processor is the ultimate 16-channel immersive surround processor, enabling home theater specialists and A/V integrators to create home cinema systems that deliver new levels of precision, realism and dimensionality. In order to deliver the highest resolution for all audio content, the Maestro X9 utilizes the ESS 9038 Pro Sabre DACs (digital to audio converters) that ensure unprecedented levels of detail and clarity along with earth-shaking, authoritative bass response. Digital processing requires great DACs, and these are the best in the business. The Maestro X9 supports the most sought after immersive surround formats, such as 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos, Auro 3D, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced, with 16-channels of balanced and unbalanced output along with a full complement of inputs for connection to the latest audio/video components, including 7 HDMI 2.0b inputs that fully support 4K UHD and HDR playback. Ease of use and advanced features are important to every consumer. Enthusiasts will enjoy intuitive app-based control, Google Cast, Airplay 2, aptX Bluetooth and Wi-Fi streaming connectivity options. And the industrial design of the Maestro X9 is simply stunning, distinguishing AudioControl’s home cinema preamp/processor lineup from any other solution and perfectly matching the cosmetics of AudioControl’s multi-channel amplifier lineup.
