StormAudio Unleashes MK2 AV Amps and Processors
StormAudio is brining its MK2 family of processors and amps to Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2020.
StormAudio will be unleashing the power of its MK2 line-up of processors and amplifiers with many new features at the RAI Centre in Amsterdam, February 11-14.
The French firm will be presenting a full live demo in partnership with Alcons Audio on Booth 6-K160 using an ISP.32 Digital MK2 in a full digital 11.4.8 cinema set up. This unique demo opportunity will be playing DTS:X Pro tracks, just one of the new functionalities offered by MK2.
Sporting a fresh industrial design, the MK2 line-up keeps the company's promise to deliver modularity and flexibility with 16, 24 or 32-channel analogue preamp/processors, a fully loaded digital AES 32-channel machine as well as 8 and 16-channel amps.
The line-up already supports Dolby Atmos, DTS :X, Auro-3D, Dirac Live Room Calibration as well as including StormAudio's own web-based remote monitoring tool, StormMonitoring. However, now you get DTS:X Pro, IMAX Enhanced, Auro-3D Version 2, eARC HDMI, 24-channel (13.1.10 Dolby Atmos and DTS:X Pro) decoding. Additionally, there's rapid codec switching (as much as 50% improvement), and advanced bass management including the recently introduced Dirac Live Bass Control module carried across the new 4.0 firmware package.
StormAudio boasts that Dirac Live Bass Control gives them, and installers, a unique edge on getting that all-important bass right in home cinema and AV installations. Furthermore, StormAudio's own 7+2 eARC HDMI card delivers swift, rock-solid switching with total HDMI2.0b/HDCP2.2 support. The card supports 4K,18 Gigabits per second bandwidth on every input and output port with DolbyVision and HDR10 compatibility.
StormAudio is taking orders right now for all its new releases with delivery in March/April 2020. Also, our friends at Pulse Cinemas, one of the brand's expert and technically knowledgeable distributors, will include StormAudio in its ISE Guided Tour.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
