Home Cinema Case Studies
Cinema Processors
The MC-12 HD is the industry standard for multi-channel processors for film and music reproduction. The culmination of years of research and design, it combines the best elements of performance, flexibility, and elegance. Sophisticated and powerful, it is exceptionally well equipped to control the most elaborate home theaters. Three zones, twelve configurable inputs, HDMI switching, and automatic room calibration enable the MC-12 HD to easily meet the demands of discerning audio and video enthusiasts.With the myriad features available in the MC-12 HD, the intuitive user interface provides complete adjustability without being confusing. Access to the listening modes, input & output settings, and speaker adjustments are only a few button-pushes away.
The MC-12 HD provides seamless control of multi-room systems with three completely separate zones. Because each zone is independent, it is possible to watch a DVD in the home theater while listening to a CD in the kitchen and recording a program from a satellite receiver to a digital video recorder.
The TX-NR1008 is an upper-mid-range A/V powerhouse designed to give you maximum set-up flexibility in the home. Its 9.2 speaker channels let you enjoy a multichannel source in your main room, plus powered audio in two other rooms. Or you can use the extra channels to take full advantage of the new surround dimensions of Audyssey DSX™ and Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz. Other processing highlights include DTS-HD Master Audio™ and Dolby® TrueHD for pristine lossless audio on Blu-ray Disc, and HDMI® upscaling of all video sources to 1080p with Faroudja DCDi Cinema™. As a network A/V receiver compatible with Windows® 7 and DLNA, the TX-NR1008 lets you stream audio from your PC or from internet radio channels such as vTuner and Last.fm. Set up and calibration are easy and accurate, thanks to ISF video calibration, a new overlaid graphical on-screen display, and Audyssey room correction and equalization. Bi-amping capability and a smorgasbord of the latest connections complete what is an outstanding entertainment package.
The Suite 7.1 HD is ADA's brand new home cinema controller/preamplifier featuring 8 HDMI inputs in addition to four analog audio and 8 digital audio inputs (6 coaxial & 2 optical).
You can connect up to twenty components to the amazingly small (only 1 rack-unit tall) Suite 7.1 HD. But don't let its size fool you. The Suite 7.1 HD is the most sophisticated ADA home cinema preamplifier to date, incorporating the latest Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Audio Master and Multi-Channel PCM decoding capabilities. These lossless uncompressed formats on high-definition Blu-ray DVDs sound amazing when listened to on the Suite 7.1 HD. Just as HD video is noticeably better than regular DVD, high-resolution audio is dramatically better than regular 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound.
From film to TV series to concerts, everything looks and most important, sounds better on Blu-ray and the Suite 7.1 HD. Naturally, the Suite 7.1 HD also features decoding of the standard Dolby, DTS and THX formats as well as several proprietary modes for music and TV.
From a technical standpoint, the Suite 7.1 HD features HDMI equalization per input and output to compensate for HDMI cable type and length. It also features a multi-band parametric equalizer per channel as well as other features only available from ADA. The Suite 7.1 HD has become our cinema processor of choice in our high end home cinemas.
The PTM-8150 entered ADA's line-up along with the latest in home theatre advancements that included among other features, extended surround - the use of an additional speaker or speaker pair for back-surround. The PTM-8150, much like the PTM-6150 is an all MOSFET design implementing four double-stacked output transistors per channel (8 output devices per channel).
The PTM-8150 will flawlessly drive the most demanding home theatre speakers with its all-current power drive. In a 7.1 speaker system, the eighth channel can be used to drive passive subwoofers. For those looking for special sound in a multi-room system, the PTM-8150 can also be used to provide superior sound to four independent zones.
