• StormAudio AV gear at ISE 2019

Following a ‘Best Of Show Demo’ award win at the CEDIA Expo in San Diego last year, France-based StormAudio is running not one but two demonstrations at the ever-growing

ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) show in Amsterdam, which is running from 5th to 8th February, as we go to press on this issue.

The first demo sees Storm working with M&K Sound to deliver a high-end 9.1.4 set-up featuring StormAudio’s 20-channel processor, the ISP 3D.20 ELITE (pictured below), a unit with seven HDMI inputs and three outputs, decoding all three key immersive audio formats (Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D) to deliver 20 output channels, all provided as balanced XLR outputs.

It also features room optimisation powered by Dirac Live, and includes the latest 2.x version of the Dirac Live Calibration Tool (DLCT 2.0), which has an overhaul of the Dirac user-interface aiming to make the calibration process more intuitive.

The second demo at ISE will recreate the CEDIA awardwinning set-up, working with Netherlands-based Alcons Audio on an active 9.1.6 set-up featuring StormAudio’s 32-channel Digital AES Edition processor with a pro-ribbon loudspeaker system from Alcons.

StormAudio also produces 8- and 16-channel power amplifiers, again designed and made in France, and the company last year announced a collaboration with Bryston, which led to Storm’s technology being used within Bryston’s 15.1-channel SP4 surround processor, while StormAudio will in turn be leveraging Bryston’s ‘Cubed’ amplifier technology for its power amplifiers.

StormAudio is distributed in Australia by Network Audio-Visual, which has freshly rebranded as National AV Solutions. More info from: national avsolutions.com.au
