In collaboration with Dolby, Powersoft is building on its recent growth in the global cinema market by adding support for Dolby Atmos Connect AES67 patching into the latest version of its ArmoníaPlus software, streamlining the process of connecting its amplifiers to Dolby’s cinema hardware.

Adding support for Dolby Atmos Connect AES67 into ArmoníaPlus 2.7.1 simplifies the patching process between Powersoft’s Unica and Canali-series (Quattrocanali and Duecanali) amplifiers and the Dolby Atmos processor, providing a more straightforward set-up in cinema environments. The new functionality provides a quicker, easier and more reliable way to integrate with and configure a Dolby Atmos system.

The highlights of the v2.7.1 update include:

• Network integration: After inputting the network information of a Dolby Atmos Cinema Processor CP950A processor or Dolby Integrated Media Server IMS3000 into ArmoníaPlus, the system automatically manages all AES67 audio streams and channels.
• Support for Dolby Atmos Connect AES67 in ArmoníaPlus eliminates the need for additional external devices or software, streamlining the entire process.
• Direct patching: Powersoft amplifiers can be directly patched to the Dolby Atmos Cinema Processor CP950A and Dolby Integrated Media Server IMS3000 source, ensuring efficient and hassle-free integration.

Dolby Atmos creates an immersive, three-dimensional sound experience as its object-based audio allows sounds to move around the movie theatre, including overhead, enhancing realism. With up to 64 unique speaker feeds, Dolby Atmos enables detailed, dynamic soundscapes.

Powersoft and Dolby recently cooperated on a Dolby Atmos installation at Cineplexx Westfield SCS, a luxury multiplex cinema in Vienna, where Powersoft Quattrocanali 1204, 4804 and 8804 amplifiers are integrated with Dolby’s CP950A processor via AES67 and drive Dolby System 133 loudspeakers.
