Datasat RS20i home cinema audio processor
Over the last few years Datasat has received numerous requests from consumers to leverage the performance of the AP20 for the luxury home cinema space. Datasat has responded by taking the base platform and adding a number of features, upgrades and consumer-specific circuit/specification enhancements, as well as a complete cosmetic upgrade by Neal Feay, to create the RS20i.
The RS20i is a natural progression from the professional unit, combining Datasat’s considerable experience in conventional analogue sound systems with state-of-the-art digital signal processing. No expense has been spared in producing a versatile, customisable and feature-rich audio processor.
Customised by the Datasat team, which includes Dave Kerstetter of Theta fame, the RS20i offers a superlative level of circuit design and quality, together with a degree of room optimisation and automation hitherto.

Like the pro AP20 it features 16 channels, 20 memory presets for all settings, 3rd octave, parametric, shelving EQs and low and high bandpass on all channels; individual channel and global delays, Dirac Live room optimisation and three expansion bays for future development.
The RS20i improves upon the audio quality of the AP20 with changes to specific components and cards, and features the addition of Bass Management, HDMI v1.4 for 3D video pass through, level shift for the consumer space and new menus. Controls can be viewed remotely and operated using a Virtual Network Connection (VNC). VNC clients are available to allow control from iPhone, iPad and Google phones, as well as laptops. The RS20i’s custom designed and built chassis and front panel are by Neal Fay Designs of Goleta California.
