StormAudio announces first 20-channel preamp/processor.
StormAudio has announced that its first 20-channel preamp/processor, the ISP 3D.20 ELITE, is now shipping.
The unit joins the brand’s lineup of 16 and 32-channel analogue and digital preamp/processors, which along with its suite of eight and 16-channel amplifiers, is a comprehensive range of reference immersive audio hardware available to the CEDIA channel.

Equipped with 20-XLR outputs, the ISP 3D.20 ELITE is ideal for theatres that require more than 16-channels. It also incorporates the same capabilities as the brand’s 16 and 32-channel models. This includes built-in compatibility with Auro-3D, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Dirac Live Room Calibration.
Some of its features include:
9.1.6 Native Firmware
StormAudio incorporates 9.1.6 native processing to support Dolby Atmos and DTS: X. The unit supports up to five individual subwoofers to allow for best active room mode compensation.
Advanced Graphic User Interface (WebUI)
The ISP 3D.20 ELITE uses a WebUI interface that provides intuitive access, setup and monitoring of the theatre.
“The interface is intuitive, offering setup from basic to the most advanced. Additionally, the installer can prepare the processor in as little as three clicks of their computer mouse, sparing them from the labor intensive setup and calibration requirements imposed by leading competitors’ processors,” says StormAudio US operations service/support manager Chrisanne Rhodes.
StormMonitoring Web-based Remote Monitoring
The ISP 3D.20 ELITE incorporates StormMonitoring, a feature that grants the installer the flexibility to diagnose all aspects of system health and reset just as if they were physically onsite. This built-in, web-based remote monitoring platform provides complete up-to-date views on system health, including critical ones, with the ability to receive email notifications of thresholds when connected with a Network Management agent and related service subscription such as Domotz.
StormMonitoring even goes all the way down to the speaker channel with the preamp/processor’s included mic kit as the installer can remotely monitor real-time audio frequency from each channel. When the brand’s amps are used in the same install, the feature will merge all units into one interface.
Scalable modular platform design approach, including Audio over IP expansion capability
The ISP 3D.20 ELITE processor can be customised and upgraded at time of order, or in the future by way of its scalable, modular platform. Examples include upgrading to fully support 32-channel outputs (digital) over AES/EBU or Audio over IP, or upgrading to support a DCI server/player 16-channel AES/EBU interface.
Other examples include AES Direct Integration with other audio distribution systems such as Meridian’s 271 Digital Theatre Controller or next generation AudioVideoBridging Speaker Integration with companies such as ASCENDO Immersive Audio.
