DIGITAL SOUND

Datasat Trailer

Credits & Posters Datasat Digital Sound is a digital surround sound format for use

with 35mm movie productions. Today, Hollywood studios and movie

makers across the globe license our sound technology on their

releases. As a result, our Datasat Digital Sound logo appears during

the end credits, in movie trailers and on promotional posters of each

licensed film; exposing the brand to millions of consumers each day.

In addition to the exposure provided on behalf of the studios, Datasat

has put together a digital trailer, available in both 5.1 and 7.1, for

theatres to run prior to the main feature. The trailer is featured

on our home page - www.datasatdigital.com. Additionally, we offer

posters and plaques for exhibitors to showcase that their theatres

sound better with Datasat.

Dirac Live® & the RS20i

Dirac Live® & the RS20idirac Live® & the RS20i

dirac Live®

Sound is recorded according to the intentions of the artist and producer. However, how it will reach the listener is uncertain, due to the broad array of listening rooms, amplifiers and loudspeakers used. Rooms, amplifiers and loudspeakers inevitably distort the sound both in the frequency domain and in the time domain.

By digitally optimizing the audio signal prior to sending the signal to the amplifiers and by mea-suring the output from each speaker of the audio system such that it is perfectly adjusted to the acoustical behavior of the listening environment, a much more transparent and true-to-the-source sound can be delivered.

This true-to-the-source sound is obtained through the use of world leading room and loudspeak-er optimization software from Dirac Research with practically unlimited resolution. In addition to this unique technology, the RS20i also provides traditional tuning methods.

Dirac Live® is a state-of-the-art digital room correction technology which optimizes the sound both in terms of the impulse response as well as the stationary frequency response. The result is substantially improved musical staging, clarity, voice intelligibility, and a deeper and tighter bass, not just in a small sweet spot but in the entire listening environment.

Dirac Research has worked for many years fine-tuning digital sound optimization and room correction. Today, the technology is available to the high-end consumer audio market with the Datasat RS20i. To un-derstand the true benefits of this feature, let’s start from the beginning:

Benefits of Dirac Live® for Home Audio

Increased musical clarity and voice intelligibility

A deeper and tighter bass

A restored sound stage

Reduced listening fatigue

Increased Musical Clarity and Voice IntelligibilityBy digitally optimizing the output from each speaker of the audio system such that it is perfectly adjusted to the acous-tical behavior of the listening environment, a much more transparent and true-to-the-source sound can be delivered. Voice intelligibility is improved and music becomes clearer.

A Deeper and Tighter BassAcoustic room modes distort the character of the bass. Loudspeakers continue to ring even after a bass punch has been delivered due to mechanical restrictions. Dirac Live® effectively prepares the loudspeaker for the sound that is coming and reduces the settling time of the loudspeaker, thereby achieving a much tighter bass. By adjusting the speaker outputs to the room modes, the character of the bass is restored to that intended on the recording. The result is a tighter, deeper and more defined low end.

A Restored Sound StageDirac Live® restores the sound stage so that the localization of sound events become much more detailed. Since stereo and multichannel perception depends crucially on the similarity, or correlation, between the signals at the left and right ears, which in turn is determined by the impulse responses of the signal paths, only true mixed-phase impulse response correction can improve the spatial perception of a sound reproduction. Dirac Live® is the solution to achieve this in any size listening space.

Reduced Listening FatigueTime-domain distortions, caused by diffraction, cross-overs, and early reflections, make it difficult for our brains to in-terpret the sound. A smooth frequency response and an aligned phase response make the sound more natural and prevent listening fatigue during prolonged listening sessions. With the unique phase response correction and magnitude response optimization of Dirac Live®, listening becomes effortless and brings you one significant step closer to reality.

True Impulse Response Optimization Dirac Live® is unique to the marketplace in that it provides true working impulse response correction as measured over larger listening regions. This impulse response is critical for multichannel and stereo perception. Localization and ste-reo hearing, in general, depend on the similarity between and the quality of the channel impulse responses. Dirac Live® improves the precision and the clarity of the audio imaging.

Magnitude Response Correction Dirac’s patented methods offer just the right resolution. Based not only on an average response, the stationary fre-quency response correction looks at the variations between different measurement positions and carefully makes a correction whose level of detail depends on the frequency-dependent spatial variations.

Mixed-Phase Technology Dirac’s mixed-phase filter technology provides the highest performance available. Loudspeakers measured in rooms are mixed-phase and consequently only a mixed-phase correction can restore the intended impulse response. Room correction systems that only provide minimum-phase or linear-phase correction fail to improve aspects which determine the perceived localization and clarity of a sound event.

Robust Spatial AlgorithmsDirac’s comprehensive research and development has yielded a stable method that can effectively be applied in volumes as large as concert halls. The time and frequency-variable resolution, depending on the amount of spatial variations, always strikes the right balance between resolution and robustness.

Datasat RA2400 and RA7300 Amplifiers

the ModelsThe Datasat RA2400 and RA7300 Amplifiers are designed for the ultimate in quality and flexibility for the discerning listener. Perfect for anything from a small media system, all the way to outfitting an entire home or estate.

the StyleFashioned after the Datasat RS20i the amplifiers will match in color and style. The look is elegant yet powerful and along with the RS20i the system is a definitive collection.

Ra7300 and Ra2400 advantages

Quiet operation in high performance environments: Dual thermal sensors, one for each channel or channel bank, control a very low-speed fan with substantial heat sinks. When in idle the fan is not operational. The fan only turns on when program material demands additional cooling. This ensures that any fan noise will always be masked by program content and that any number of RA series amplifiers can be used without thermal issues.

Separate power supplies for each channel which minimizes crosstalk, noise and distortion.

Connectivity: DB25 connectors with pass-through and channel select mate perfectly with the Datasat RS20i. XLR connectors are also available.

Modular design: Each amplifier channel is designed complete with power supply on a single printed circuit board. This provides for ease of replacement.

No current limiting.

Meets or exceeds all international standards for standby power consumption including the new 1Ž2 watt standard.

Advanced circuitry: Fully balanced differential amplifier design doubles amplifier speed (slew rate), and reduces noise by 50%. The amplifiers use current feedback to increase amplifier speed. The amplifier uses dual-DC servos to ensure that DC offset is at a minimum and thermal-track transistors maintain the amplifiers at their optimum bias point independent of amplifier temperature.

The advanced circuitry and careful design yields what may be the industry’s quietest amplifier. Typical signal-to-noise ratio is 127dB (A weighted, referenced to full output.)
