Where a conventional loudspeaker controller applies crossover filters and EQ, the 816 runs Meyer Sound's patented phase-correction processing across the full audible band, holding phase within ±45° from 25 Hz to 22 kHz while keeping frequency response linear. It drives up to three complete Bluehorn channels — each a Bluehorn full-range loudspeaker plus a Bluehorn Subwoofer — from a single 2RU chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAudio conversion is 24-bit at a 96 kHz sample rate, with FPGA-based processing that keeps total system latency under 50 ms. The rear panel provides eight gold-plated XLR-F inputs and sixteen gold-plated XLR-M outputs, with two RJ-45 network ports on each side for control and configuration. Because the processor treats a full-range cabinet and its subwoofer as one corrected channel rather than two independently aligned boxes, the crossover region — normally where phase accuracy is lost — stays coherent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bluehorn 816 is required for any Bluehorn deployment and is not a general-purpose loudspeaker processor; for standard Meyer Sound system drive and alignment, see the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/meyer-sound-galaxy-816-8-input-16-output-digital-processor-2ru\"\u003eGalileo GALAXY 816\u003c\/a\u003e.
