Features
Here are some of the features that make
The Director M6400 and M6800 very
unique, unlike any other amplifier:
•
Digital and Analog Input Matrix
Each zone can select and play
any digital or analog input. The
high-resolution digital inputs accept
32-96 kHz, 16/24-bit digital signals.
Each zone has a pair of RCA connec-
tors as an analog loop output, for
example: to share that zone’s source
with another Director unit. The digital
outputs can also play any analog or
digital input source.
•
High Power Levels
The M6400 has 16 channels of 65
Watts each into 8 Ohms, or 100 Watts
into 4 Ohms. Each channel pair can
also be run in bridged mono at 175
Watts into 8 Ohms. The M6800 has
16 channels of 100 Watts each into
8 Ohms, or 200 Watts into 4 Ohms.
Each channel pair can also be run in
bridged mono at 400 Watts into 8
Ohms. Each high-efficiency amplifier
is made from discrete components.
•
Superior Sound Quality
Pristine sonics happens first in all
AudioControl designs and is not com-
promised by any other feature.
• Unparalleled Energy Efficiency
From the point of view of saving
electricity, the Director amplifier has
no equal. It is VERY energy efficient
during operation, and equally impres-
sive during standby.
•
Ethernet Control
Via a browser or Telnet commands,
you can control and query almost all
the functions, mute zones, change
source inputs, recall EQ presets,
check line voltage, display protection
logs, and get an email if something
goes wrong.
•
Signal Processing
You have at your command: graphic
equalization, parametric equal-
ization, tweeter protection filters
and low frequency cutoff filters. In
addition, you can set up any zone
with low-pass and high-pass channels
for a two-way setup. The equalizer
settings are ganged with left and
right channels together, or separate-
ly. Plus, there are six EQ presets per
zone to save and recall settings.
•
LightDrive Anti-clipping
With durability in mind, AudioCon-
trol’s LightDrive anti-clipping pro-
tection defends the system against
clipping, distortion, damage, and
even teenage parties. The Director
M6400 and M6800 feature the latest
evolution of LightDrive which adds a
power-supply-tracking instantaneous
dynamic control to the smooth sound
of the traditional AudioControl Light-
Drive.
•
Self Resetting Protection Features
Protection features are extensive and
include thermal, short circuit, clip-
ping, ultrasonic and DC offset among
others. If the fault is removed, the
Director resets. Plus, it can send you
an email if something happens.
• Pacific Northwest Heritage
We make this product in the USA,
and we are very proud of that fact.
What is more important is the care
we craft in at every step, and the
extensive knowledge we have in all
aspects of the product. Plus, we back
this up with a conditional five year
warranty.
