AudioControl (audiocontrolpro.com) has introduced the Hyperion APR-16, a flagship 16-channel immersive surround processor designed to accommodate complex home cinema configurations with independent signal-path optimization, enabling AV professionals to precisely design and tune each system to suit any room. The APR-16 features the latest room correction capabilities, including Dirac ART™ and HAA Link® acoustic optimization software, empowering home theater professionals to deliver stunning performance like never before. The AudioControl APR-16 is available now. The APR-16 represents the fusion of AudioControl’s 50 years of unparalleled success in audio design and innovation with the cutting-edge video and networking expertise of AVPro Edge, together creating the ultimate lineup of future-ready home cinema solutions engineered for AV professionals worldwide. A masterpiece of engineering, the APR-16 was conceived entirely in-house to ensure the highest levels of performance. With premium 32-bit ESS Sabre DACs, studio-grade pixel-accurate HDMI video, 24-bit / 192 kHz sampling rate support, and a comprehensive array of analog outputs with extensive routing capabilities, the cinematic experience is unparalleled. Acoustic Optimization via Dirac® The APR-16 has been engineered from inception for seamless Dirac Live® and Dirac Active Room Treatment (ART) integration, leveraging Dirac’s advanced computational algorithms to model and correct complex acoustic artifacts resulting from loudspeaker-listening environment interactions. The system analyzes parameters, including time-domain response, frequency linearity, and spatial reflection patterns to implement precise corrective filters, delivering exceptional clarity, tonal balance, and the most deeply immersive listening experience. Acoustic Optimization via HAA Link HAA Link, offered through Home Acoustics Alliance, is an optional feature for the APR-16, purchased by the end-user and implemented by trained audio calibrators. The Hyperion APR-16 is the first component to be certified by the Home Acoustics Alliance through the integration of HAA Link software. Integrators can now measure and adjust system performance simultaneously using the companion HAA CinemaTools with HAA Link app, available on the Apple App Store. HAA Link unlocks extensive calibration capabilities used to achieve optimized sonic capability through precision tuning. APR-16 Tech Talk The platform features a robust API compatible with any control system. Built-in HDCP and EDID management ensure effortless compatibility between sources and displays. Dante/AES67 integration enables seamless network audio distribution, giving integrators a confident, fully connected deployment from day one. To accommodate multi-zone entertainment systems, the APR-16 includes a built-in 4-port Ethernet switch with Dante/AES67 capability (2 in / 2 out). Hyperion products are professionally designed to adhere to all 22 benchmarks for audio design by CEDIA/CTA-RP22. Following these audio design standards and best practices, Hyperion delivers precise musical fidelity and immersive sound that aligns with the highest benchmarks in home audio. Hyperion Series Home Theater Amplifiers A perfect Match for the APR-16 processor, Hyperion Series high-performance home theater amplifiers are available in three models (Tetra, Penta, and Hepta) featuring 4, 5, and 7 channels of output, respectively. Integrators can mix and match models within a consistent platform to achieve unmatched sonic purity and detail while maintaining a consistent aesthetic in any rack or AV furniture. Hyperion Series amplifiers leverage AudioControl’s multi-award-winning G4 Class H architecture, trusted by thousands of integrators and home theater specialists. Class H operation intelligently delivers full power with significantly less heat than traditional Class AB designs.
