WHY IT EXISTS
A residential processor built with professional-cinema instincts.

RS20i combines sixteen-channel immersive decoding with extensive analog and AES/EBU routing, sophisticated EQ and active crossover options.

The product can expose far more physical outputs than the core decoder channel count because its routing and expansion architecture also supports bi-amping, tri-amping and additional processing roles.

SYSTEM THINKING
01Start with the speaker layout and subwoofer plan.
02Confirm the required analog, digital or network outputs.
03Establish room-correction and calibration requirements.
04Then match amplification, control and HDMI architecture.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The rear panel tells the story: this is as much a DSP matrix as an AV preamp.

Sixteen AES/EBU inputs and outputs, sixteen analog outputs, optional expansion, multiple EQ layers and active high/low/band-pass filters make RS20i unusually configurable.

The HDMI 2.0b subsystem is now mature rather than cutting-edge, so a modern system may choose to route video externally while retaining the processor for audio duties.

ROOM / BASS OPTIMISATION

Dirac Live sits alongside unusually deep manual tools.

The RS20i supports sixteen-channel Dirac Live, but also offers third-octave EQ, parametric filtering, active crossovers, per-channel delays and up to four subwoofers in its bass-management system.

That combination is most valuable when a calibrator understands both the automated and manual toolsets and uses them intentionally.
