REVIEW & AWARDS Focal Astral 16 processor/amp review - Read More "This stellar performer perfectly orchestrates every aspect of a system’s performance to deliver a powerful, precise and immersive audio experience. Pro-grade calibration tools." - Steve Withers Focal Astral 16 AV Processor/Amplifier Review - Read More "Finally, I watched Crimson Peak, which has a fantastically immersive DTS:X soundtrack. The sound design is used with remarkable creativity, turning the titular house into a living, breathing entity. There are sounds of creaking wood and blowing wind that are delivered with absolute precision and clarity. While the sounds of water moving through pipes move around, behind and above you, and these effects are steered with a commanding sense of authority." - Steve Withers SPECIFICATIONS Type 16 channel audio-video processor and amplifier Main features Compatible formats: Dolby Atmos® / DTS:X™ / Auro-3D® Room Calibration: Powered by Dirac Live® : target curve editable from 20Hz to 20kHz for all channels (including subwoofers), phase correction full bandwidth 20Hz-20kHz on all channels (including subwoofers) "Remote Monitoring" fonction Multichannel /Surround Processing Output channels: 16Decoding / upmixing channels: up to 16 channelsInput sampling rate supported: up to 192kHzStereo downmixBass management: fully flexibleMulti-subwoofer channels: UnlimitedMulti-way crossover: (6-12-18-24-36-48dB/oct filter slopes)20 Parametric EQ per channel: HDMI HDMI inputs: 7: HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2HDMI outputs (mirror): 1: HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 (with eARC)2: HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 Supported video format: Up to 4K UHDHigh Dynamic Range: HDR10 / HLG Color Space and Subsampling: 4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0Deep Color: 12 bpcMax resolution supported: 4K 60fps 4:4:4 8bpcHDMI: 3D / 4K / eARC Audio Inputs Digital input: 3 x coaxial, 3 x opticalAnalog stereo inputs : 4 x RCA inputs Amplified Audio Outputs Amplified main outputs: 12Analog main outputs, balanced: 4 x XLRStereo downmix outputs, balanced: 2 x XLRTechnology: Class DAmplified channels: 12Continuous power output, per channel, à 0.1%THD: 28Ω / 4Ω / 2.7Ω3 channels driven simultaneous: 200W / 400W / 650W6 channels driven simultaneous: 200W / 350W / 350W12 channels driven simultaneous: 200W / 300WContinuous power output, per channel, à 1%THD: 8Ω / 4Ω / 2.7Ω3 channels driven simultaneous: 250W / 500W / 725W6 channels driven simultaneous: 250W / 500W / 500W12 channels driven simultaneous: 250W / 300WSNR (P-rated): 110dBTHD (from 1W to P-rated -1dB) :
