Keep audio digital beyond the processor.
When amplifiers, active loudspeakers or downstream DSP accept digital audio, unnecessary conversion stages can be avoided and cabling architecture can change dramatically.

WHY IT EXISTS
A processor built for cinemas where the signal should remain digital deep into the amplification chain.
Evo removes the assumption that a processor must provide a bank of local analog outputs. Instead, the system can route high-channel-count audio digitally to compatible amplifiers or downstream interfaces.
That makes it especially relevant to large racks, marine projects, screening rooms and digitally networked private cinemas.
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
Keep the signal digital
Evo is a deliberately digital-first processor, with AES/EBU and AES67/Dante options instead of a large bank of local analog outputs.
Why this matters
A digital signal path can feed compatible amplifiers or active loudspeakers directly and can integrate more naturally with DCI, studio and resimercial infrastructure.
ROOM / BASS OPTIMISATION
Room optimisation
The same 32-channel StormAudio processing and Dirac ART ecosystem remains available.

WHERE IT FITS
When we would shortlist it
Digital amplification, active loudspeakers, large networked racks, marine projects, screening rooms or DCI-adjacent private cinema.
Final suitability still depends on speaker count, subwoofer strategy, amplifier interface, HDMI requirements, rack design and the calibration workflow expected after installation.
PURELY DIGITAL SIGNAL PATH
Evo is not an Elite with fewer sockets. It is a different way to build the rack.
StormAudio positions Evo as a purely digital immersive processor, offering up to 32 output channels over AES/EBU or AES67/Dante while retaining the 32-channel decoding, bass management and Dirac platform of the Elite family.
Digital does not mean reduced processing scale.
The platform retains high-channel-count immersive decoding and post-processing while changing the physical output architecture.
Especially relevant to networked and professional-style systems.
Luxury marine, studio-derived rooms, digital cinema interfaces and large custom installations are exactly where this architecture becomes easier to justify.
MODEL-SPECIFIC DESIGN NOTES
The digital-output StormAudio
ISP Evo shifts the downstream signal path to AES/EBU or AES67/Dante while retaining up to 32 channels of decoding and upmixing, the full Dirac optimisation suite and the current seven-input, two-output 40Gbps HDMI platform.
Shortlist Evo only when the amplifiers, active loudspeakers or network-audio endpoints are designed as part of the same digital system. For a conventional analog XLR rack, Core or Elite is the clearer starting point.
