multiple features, this high-end electro-

vides endless configuration options.
Equipped with technology that allows adjust-
ments based on room characteristics (Room
calibration, with Dirac Live®) and supplied

acoustical environments and desires.
In short, it is fully customizable, and comes
with an app available on the App Store (via

Monitoring) for equipment diagnostics at any
time. Compatible with Control4, Crestron,
Savant and RTI, Astral 16 benefits from the

face systems to enable perfectly seamless
remote control of all your audio & video needs.
