Dolby Cinema Processors & Multichannel Amplifiers (7 products)

The Dolby cinema processor and multichannel amplifier are the electronics between the media server and the loudspeakers. The processor decodes the soundtrack, renders Dolby Atmos or 5.1/7.1 to the auditorium's speaker layout and applies room EQ and bass management; the amplifier powers every speaker channel from a single chassis. This shelf carries both, plus the interfaces that connect them.

CP950 or CP950A

The choice starts with the soundtrack format the auditorium has to play. The Dolby Atmos Cinema Processor CP950A is the Atmos platform, rendering object-based audio to individually addressed surround and overhead speakers. The Dolby Cinema Processor CP950 covers Dolby Audio 5.1 and 7.1 rooms that do not need Atmos rendering. Specify against the room's channel count and whether an Atmos upgrade is planned during the equipment's service life.

Interfaces and conversion

How the processor reaches the amplifiers decides which interface goes on the order. The Dolby DAC3202 Atmos Connect interface carries 32 channels over AES67 networked audio, while the CAT 1796 8-channel D:A converter turns AES3 digital audio into analog feeds for amplifiers that need them.

Choosing a multichannel amplifier

Count the amplifier channels the speaker layout needs — screen channels, bi-amped low-frequency sections, surrounds, overheads and subwoofers — then pick the frame that covers it with headroom. The 16-channel DMA16302 suits 5.1 and 7.1 rooms, the 24-channel DMA24302 covers mid-size Dolby Atmos layouts, and the 32-channel DMA32301 handles larger Atmos auditoriums with many individually addressed surrounds and overheads. A single multichannel chassis saves rack space and reduces heat in the booth compared with a rack of two-channel amplifiers.

Specifying the electronics

Speaker impedance, cable runs from the booth, the processor's output format and the amplifier inputs all get confirmed before ordering, and speaker layout, delay, level and room EQ are set and verified on site. Creation Networks designs the signal chain from media server to loudspeaker, installs and commissions the system, and supports it afterwards. Call 888-230-3661 or email sales@creationnetworks.net.
