About the RS20i Audio Processor

The RS20i audio processor is designed for the high-end consumer audio/home theater market.
It has been engineered to deliver precise reproduction of both analog and digital sources, using
the power of eight Analog Devices 400MHz Digital Signal Processors (DSPs). The standard
RS20i offers 16 channels of digital and 8 channels of analog inputs coupled to the 16 digital and
16 analog outputs. In addition to one S/PDIF and two TOSLINK audio inputs, the RS20i
features four HDMI 1.4a inputs with Blu-ray HD decoding and active loudspeaker crossovers.
Each of the 16 channels includes:
•
31 bands of 1/3 octave equalization
•
3 bands of parametric equalization
•
Channel gain and phase inversion control
•
Individual Bass and Treble controls
•
Variable delay line adjustable from 0ms to 1000ms
In addition to native support for all common stream types including Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD
Master Audio and DTS Neo:X, the processor has, as an option, the new Auro-3D
bringing fully immersive Surround Sound to a theater audience with speaker configurations up
to 13.1.
One of the most compelling features of the RS20i is the inclusion of Dirac Live room
optimization technology. Dirac Live is a state-of-the-art digital room correction technology that
improves the listener experience by correcting for room modes and anomalies using high-
resolution filter technology. Configure once and never touch again. The results are improved
musical staging, clarity of dialogue and an enhanced listener experience.
For even greater flexibility, the RS20i Audio Processor has two product expansion slots that are
removable from the back of the unit while it is racked. All internal control and data lines are
available to expansion cards to service future user needs.
To get the most out of your RS20i, we suggest that you review this manual and keep it available
during system installation and initial operation.
