Product Overview

The Dolby CP950A Atmos cinema processor delivers full, immersive Dolby Atmos in digital cinema auditoriums as authored by the filmmaker. As the newest model in Dolby's processor line, this immersive cinema sound processor integrates a Dolby Atmos media block card and supports up to 64 channels of digital output, making it a complete Dolby Atmos movie theater processor in a single chassis. It carries the same modular, cost-efficient design as the CP950 while adding native Atmos rendering. The CP950A is built for auditoriums that require immersive audio from day one without a separate upgrade step.

Product Description

The CP950A is a Dolby Atmos cinema processor that renders immersive, object-based audio directly from the integrated Atmos media block, reproducing the soundtrack as crafted by today's leading filmmakers. As a 64-channel cinema audio processor, it supports up to 64 channels of digital output over AES67 or BLU Link, plus 16 channels of analog output for sites that use conventional amplifier racks. This makes it a flexible AES67 BLU Link processor for both networked and legacy infrastructure. The unit shares the proven CP950 design philosophy: a built-in booth monitor for audio quality assurance, a color touchscreen front-panel interface, a web interface for remote configuration, internal loudspeaker crossovers that reduce external processing, and a high-resolution multi-rate EQ for precise room tuning. It is simple to install, use, and service in the projection booth. The CP950A suits premium large-format and Dolby Cinema auditoriums, flagship screens, and screening rooms that demand fully immersive playback. Sites that want a lower-cost entry point with a later upgrade path can start with the non-Atmos, field-upgradeable CP950.
