Powersoft Streamlines Dolby Atmos Connectivity with A+ 2.7.1

In collaboration with Dolby, Powersoft is adding support for Dolby Atmos Connect AES67 patching into the latest version of its ArmoníaPlus software

The new version of ArmoníaPlus makes it simple for Powersoft’s cinema customers to deliver immersive 3D audio to moviegoers.

Florence, Italy ( September 11, 2024 ) -

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
  • Seamless connectivity: 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

    • “Powersoft’s increasing presence in the cinema market highlights the importance of being compliant with Dolby Atmos,” comments Francesco Cionini, global key account manager for Powersoft. “Thanks to the support of Dolby, Powersoft amplifiers, combined with Dolby Atmos cinema processors, are able to deliver the immersive, three-dimensional audio experience that modern audiences expect.

    “This compliance not only enhances the sound quality and realism of films, but also positions Powersoft as a key player in the high-end cinema audio industry – one that provides superior audio solutions that attract more viewers and elevate the overall cinematic experience.”

    Dolby Atmos revolutionises cinema audio by creating an immersive, three-dimensional sound experience. Its object-based audio allows sounds to move freely around the movie theatre, including overhead, enhancing realism and engagement. With up to 64 unique speaker feeds, Dolby Atmos enables detailed, dynamic soundscapes. This advanced audio technology boosts audience immersion and emotional connection, offering a memorable viewing experience.

    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.
