Acurus Muse 16-channel Immersive Audio Preamp Processor

The Muse 16-channel immersive media room processor boasts 112 surround sound speaker layouts available to choose from, including 52 Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive speaker layouts -- up to an amazing 15.1 configured immersive audio media room. Setting up any of these layouts is a snap with the intuitive UI available both on the front panel and via a refreshingly simple-to-use mobile app. System integration and control is simplified through many 3rd party control solutions supported by the Muse.

Extremely compact, the Muse stands just 2RU tall but delivers more features and audio purity in its sleek frame than any other media room solution to date.
