Larger systems can easily be deployed by using two or more ALC units. As such, a single ALC-3316 can power 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 7.1 7.2 and the new 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos surround system formats. The fan-less, 1U ALC-3316 offers three 300W high-current amplifier channels for subwoofer drive, plus six 100W bridgeable amplifier channels to drive full range loudspeakers. So, what are you guys using? How much? How Flexible? How Durable? That’s what I’d like to know.The ALC-3316 Amplified Loudspeaker Controller includes 8 balanced analog audio inputs and 9 speaker outputs. Will I lose that option if I go to just an audio interface? Right now with my desk, I can leave Nuendo (including the controllers) off and I can still access other Audio/Video sources through the PC and just play them through the desk like a home stereo receiver. Another consideration is whether I have to turn the controllers on just to access any audio feeds from the computer. But at the absolute minimum, it’s got to handle 5.1 and stereo. Ideally it would handle 7.1, 5.1, Stereo & Mono feeds that I could access directly from the Control Room Section of Nuendo. I’m particularly interested in knowing what the Nuage users are using for their systems, as the Master Controller gives numerous routing options and I’m still interested in upgrading from the the Artist Series stuff. But as it’s now relegated to a corner taking up a large amount of space, I was thinking about replacing it with a dedicated monitoring interface. I’m currently using my DA7 digital desk as my audio interface for my Nuendo 8.2 (with Artist Series Controllers) rigg.
