Indianapolis, IN – February 12, 2019 – American brand Acurus proudly introduces two new 2RU products, a 16-channel immersive processor and an 8-channel M8 amplifier. These new products meet the demands of modern home environments, whether it be home cinemas or multi-purpose media rooms.
The Acurus Muse is a 16-channel processor specifically designed to meet the requirements of immersive audio decoding and post-processing across the home. It provides customers with a $5,500 sound processing solution with full-support for 4kUHD/HDR, HDMI 2.0b pass-thru, built into a sleek, compact 2U form-factor. The Muse may be configured to a host of immersive surround formats, such as DTS:X and 15.1 native Dolby Atmos, and carries a complement of 3rd-party control drivers, TCP/IP, and a beautiful web-control interface.
Indy Audio Labs Co-founder/CTO, Ted Moore, says, “With the availability of the Muse and M8, Acurus has performance audio solutions that span a huge spectrum of installer applications, especially given the Muse’s ability to natively decode up to 16 channels of Atmos content. This is a capability that is just not found in processors of this caliber and price range. Throw in the fantastic low-profile design and you have an exceptional rack space saver. Our design strategies are devoted to giving our customers high-performance audio products with an extraordinary degree of options so that they have great flexibility in their own design efforts.”
Moore continues. “Matched with the M8, a super-compact 2RU 160W 8-channel class D amplifier at $3,500 retail, the Muse joins an Acurus product family ready to serve multiple immersive or surround applications in the home. For even more flexibility, we designed the M8 as a bridgeable amp which provides installers with two power domains of 160W or 300W in which to design for their customers’ enjoyment. Applications abound for the M8, including bundling as a companion amplifier for our ACT 4 20-channel immersive processor when rack space is a factor. Chances are, if an installer has a unique request from an end user, we have a unique solution to address it.”
