Pro Audio Technology shipping ALC-3316 amplified loudspeaker controller
Pro Audio Technology (PRO), distributed by Cogworks in Australia, is now shipping the ALC-3316 amplified loudspeaker controller with companion Configurator software.
First seen and demonstrated at CEDIA Expo 2019, each ALC-3316 provides eight balanced analogue audio inputs and nine channels of amplification for up to 1,800W of power, loudspeaker processing and a plethora of DSP features.

The award-winning ALC-3316 includes a 96kHz/32-bit DSP processing engine that uniquely combines the functionality of a multichannel DSP processor, high-power multichannel home theater or distributed audio amplifier, multichannel mixing amplifier, high-resolution loudspeaker processor, with built-in matrix bass management – all packed into a stylish 1U chassis.
Simultaneously, PRO announces its new companion Configurator amplified loudspeaker controller software. It makes the deployment of surround sound or distributed audio systems easy by integrating intelligent predefined DSP filters to address the acoustic challenges commonly encountered in such systems such as boundary loading, perforated video screens or stretched fabric wall coverings.
The filters are identified in plain, easy-to-decipher English – no audio engineering degree is required.
However, for advanced users, Configurator grants access to 160 parametric EQ filters (20 input, 20 output, per channel), input trim, output gain, delay, source routing, bass management via PRO BassDirector interface, channel input and output naming, bass and treble and master volume control as well as a configurable signal generator for system setup, diagnosis and testing.
“The ability to power a complete 7.2 or 5.2.2 high-output surround sound system from a 1U component with fully balanced audio inputs is truly unique in the market,” PRO president and product designer Paul Hales says.
“When you add matrix bass-management and all the integrated DSP features, it makes the ALC-3316 a tour de force for distributed and surround audio systems. You simply cannot do more with or from any other 1U component on the market.”
