The TheaterMaster Ovation Plus incorporates cutting edge technology and professional
features not found in any other processor. These technological innovations,
combined with consummate quality components and meticulous attention to detail,
provide unprecedented sonic performance-with richness of detail, dynamic contrasts,
sound staging and musicality previously unattainable.
The TheaterMaster Ovation Plus is specially engineered and painstakingly handcrafted
to provide years of trouble-free performance. Its modular design and advanced,
software-driven user interface offer ease of upgradeability to prevent obsolescence
and to ensure a lifetime of musical enjoyment.
Dolby Digital® 5.1-channel surround sound:
Provides 5 channels of full-range information, plus a dedicated subwoofer channel,
to achieve truly holographic surround-sound effects.
• dts Digital Surround(TM) 5.1-channel surround-sound technology provides
ultra-high resolution playback suitable for both movie and audiophile-quality
multi-channel music playback.
• Pro Logic®: Dolby Pro Logic decoding is performed with mathematical
precision in the digital domain.
• MPEG2 Digital Audio: Automatic decoding of MPEG1 and MPEG2 bitstreams
into two-channel PCM for stereo or Pro Logic processing.
• HDCD®: The HDCD process was designed to match the ultimate resolving
power of the human ear, while maintaining compatibility with the existing 16-bit
CD format.
• Flexibility and simplicity: TheaterMaster provides the combined functions
of a consummate-quality stereo D-to-A converter, state-of-the-art surround-sound
processor, pre-amplifier, and video switcher, all integrated into one, simple-to-use
product.
• Large front-panel display: Vacuum fluorescent display provides ergonomic
user interface.
• High-quality 20-bit delta-sigma A-to-D converter provides excellent
performance when using analog inputs.
• Six Burr Brown PCM1702 20-bit DACs provide excellent linearity and dynamic
range.
• AccuLinear® analog circuitry provides superior reconstruction of
the musical waveform, resulting in reduced transient distortion--a principal
cause of harshness, glare and stridency.
• Balanced stereo outputs utilize separate DACs for and - polarity to
achieve the lowest possible THD and greatest signal-to-noise ratio.
• Remote volume control utilizes switched resistive array for ultimate
transparency.
• Auto Setup(TM): This remarkable software greatly simplifies TheaterMaster
setup by providing automatic speaker level balancing, calibration of speaker
delays, and a readout of absolute and relative speaker phase.
• Built-in, audiophile-grade, high-order digital crossover network utilizing
dual Zoran® 38600 decoding computers provides highest possible performance
with maximum system flexibility.
• Full-function, programmable back-lit touch-screen IR remote with tactile
keys for commonly used functions offers total system control.
• Dialogue Normalization readout for the professional user. Integrated
video switching. Six programmable video inputs, including three S-video and
three composite video, provide total system integration.
• Six digital and three analog audio inputs, including 1 ST glass, 4 Coaxial
S/PDIF, and 1 TOSLINK.
• RS-232 controllable, for integration into sophisticated home theaters
and/or home automation systems.
• Ultra Premium Signature Teflon DAC's (Digital to Analog Converters)
with Vishay resistors.
• The Ovation Plus does not have the EAD technology ADC (Analog to Digital
Conversion) input section of the Signature but you maintain the Encore and Ovation
integrated video switching, which is absent on the Signature.
• Six precision Burr Brown PCM1702 "Series K" 20-bit DACs provide
exceptional low-level linearity and dynamic range, with a guaranteed THD and
noise level below -96 dB. Integrated video switching. Six programmable video
inputs, including three S-video and three composite video, provide total system
integration.
