Illusonic IAP Audio Processor

Description

Conventionally in high end audio, people “mix and match” devices. They may use a DAC, an analog pre-amplifier, a phono stage, an equalizer, and a processor. Illusonic Audio Processors integrate these functionalities – because they belong together from a quality, technical, and usage perspective. The number of signal transmissions and conversions (AD, DA, digital clock sync) are minimized. Use IAP 2 as a preamplifier and DAC to refine the sound of a conventional stereo system. IAP 4, IAP 8, and IAP 16 feature four to sixteen channels and allow optimization of systems with more than two channels. The channels can be used flexibly for surround, center loudspeaker, active crossovers, subwoofers, and height loudspeakers. World-class signal processing is built into IAPs to make the most out of almost any configuration.

Almost any type of source can connect; Phono, digital, USB, network, HDMI. Unlike other audio  processors that are pc based, the IAP does not need cooling and uses a dedicated signal processor.

The IAP is calibrated with high precision filters, crossovers, and bass management linearize the system and optimize it for the room.︎

The number of possibilities is immense: different rooms, different setups, different number of channels, different listening habits: Complexity is high and chance of error, too. To ensure an optimally tuned system for each customer, Illusonic developed its remote tuning system, by which Illusonic professionals analyze and tune each customer’s system and room acoustic. Tuning service is included for free with every IAP.

CALIBRATION FUNCTION

Delightful music listening requires a high quality audio system. A system which sounds good in the dealer’s demo room, often doesn’t sound as good in the living room at home: booming bass, imbalanced midrange, too sharp highs, or a disintegrated sound image.

To make a HiFi system sound good in an acoustically imperfect living room, it has to be calibrated for that room. Illusonic Audio Processors (IAP) provide the functions needed for such a calibration. Depending on the IAP model, also subwoofers, crossovers and multichannel system are optimized.︎

CLARITY MODE

An entirely unique technique, beyond  room EQ, making bass dryer and sound less resonating

IMMERSION MODE

Makes the sound more spacious than your room would normally allow. Optimally uses all available loudspeakers.︎

CENTER FUNCTION

Localization quality of an acoustic concert? Add a center loudspeaker and enjoy the world’s best center channel processing.

DINAMIC RANGE FUNCTION

Remasters music in real-time for effortless casual listening.︎

REMOTE TUNING

Perfectly optimizing your system and room is as simple as this: measure your system, send the data to Illusonic, load our result into IAP – done!︎

With this software you can conveniently configure IAP and customize it to your sound system. Hide unused inputs, rename inputs, and define sound presets. You can save, backup, and restore all IAP settings.

IAP Calibration

The same software that we are using for our remote tuning service is freely available to each IAP user.

A well implemented filter itself is not per see “good” or “bad”. Filters become useful only if they manipulate a signal in a way that a desired result is achieved. IAP Calibration is the most powerful acoustic measurement, analysis, and optimization software available! Illusonic is licensing an adapted version of IAP Calibration to automotive industry.

Based on a series of multi-point measurements, a professional can optimize a system with IAP Calibration, no matter how complex it is, without a need for re-measuring the result. This is possible thanks to IAP Calibration’s capability to simulate the result of applying filters, crossovers, and combining loudspeakers.
