Ah, thanks. Now I understand. We'll have to see which of the Analog Devices Sharc audio processors Emotiva chose for the RMC-1 to see how much processing oomph they sport.

Very nice, now I need to find a reason to tell to my wife why the XMC-1 is outdated and must be replaced.  |

Has there even been a movie(dvd/bluray/uhd) been mastered with 9 channels of discrete base audio(i.e. with wides)? Also....how deep would a room have to be to warrant 6 height channels? My room is only 16' deep(I plan on running 4 height channels). Thats the point of object based audio as opposed to discrete channel encoding. Sounds are positioned as objects and are converted to channels based on the speaker layout. The manufacturer can select what speaker layout they choose to support. |

The RMC-1 wil support popular speaker mapping options. Stop reading too much into preliminary data.
Geez.

Wow bummer that is such a pixelated image of the RMC-1. Looks like they pulled it directly from a small press release image then scaled it way up. Here ya go a little cleaner:  Nick do you have a newer picture of the back panel that you can show us, if the RMC-1 has now grown to a 4U chassis then this back panel which looks closer to 3u must be out of date.  |

But that's exactly what where suppose to do in a speculation thread, how else do we get our kicks. Popular speaker mapping options just means. 5.1.2 5.1.4 7.1.2 7.1.4 9.3.2 (TBC) 9.3.4 (TBC) and not forgetting the conventional 2D speaker layouts Now lets get back to speculating on whether the RMC-1 will ever be able to achieve Nirvana 9.1.6  |

Please pardon my lost 40% card! It's registered by the original owner. If I find it I can either send it to you fine folks or destroy it. I have pictures of the actual card if needed as proof and registration emails. Thanks and Happy New Year to you and yours. Dan |

The bored lounge is a dangerous place. A RMC-1 prototype wouldn't last long with a screwdriver and some members here... |

But what if it's not the RIGHT BLUE and it's a little off blue and doesn't match the blue in the photo?
And what if it has an LED that's "tooooo bright!"

I just want a display that's like a black hole. It literally sucks all the light in the room Into it. Complete opposite from a LED. We can call it a light sucking diode. Or LSD.
Oh wait... you can't just suck light....
So yeah, I want the RMC-1 to come with LSD.
/ok..back to not caring about silly things

Right now with my system, I have arrayed surround left and right pairs of speakers, because I have two rows of seating. My room is not wide enough for extra wides. I'm not trying to sell you on a 9.1.4 layout but have you considered using wides in this layout instead of how you have the extra speakers wired currently. Wides were created to help fill the void between LR channels and your SL, SR channels. They don't have to be placed in Extreme-wide positions. What are your rooms dimensions ?  I was previously using this layout but have now moved my wides back behind my AT screen (my wides were not actually that far forward). With my AT screen being just over 12 feet wide I thought that I could get away with putting 5 speakers behind the screen and still get some degree of separation and it does work very well. |

So this means this time everything, including the power button will be dimmable? So you are able to "turn off the lights"?  Btw. "popular speaker mapping options" would include 5.1 for me with the RMC-1 acting as a crossover for my active 3-way DIY speakers... OK, enough getting on your nerves. Carry on, looks like a promising product! |

We are near to the point that we can do our own thing without having to be do-it-yourselfers. I welcome this, the more channels and flexibility, the merrier. Just wait until immersive processors have the ability to map and configure any speaker placement. That along with speaker/room equalization will be the ultimate. We're getting there!

I want to clarify on my post. I am not trying to be a smart butt at all. Heck if wides are going to be used I can definitely use them. But I thought wides were old news. My room is 14 by 21, and I would much rather keep my wides than get 6 overheads. Of course, you need a decoder that knows how to use those wides (like the older DTS:neoX does). My understanding is that Dolby Atmos and DTS:X make little use of the wides, and even if you enable DSU processing the wides get to play almost nothing. I want to keep my wides, as long as they help widen my whole front stage throughout the soundtrack, not just for an occasional object based effect. Emotiva will give us the choice to do either 9.3.4 or 7.3.6 (or maybe even 9.1.6???!) But it will not be Emotiva who decide the way the software decoder works and what speakers gets what sound... |
