AudioControl Director D2800

8-Channel High-Power Network DSP Amplifier

Director D2800

In the most demanding applications for all system amplification and IP programmable signal processing tasks, the Director® D Series Model D2800 has the power and flexibility to operate as a standalone DSP amplifier or partnered with 3rd party over-control systems from companies such as Control4, Crestron, RTI and Savant. Configure graphic and parametric equalization, crossover points, volume settings, zone grouping, network monitoring, and more using the onboard DSP.              

Bus A inputs on the Director Model D2800 are selectable between Stereo Coaxial, TOSLINK Digital, and Analog. Bus B is Stereo Analog with loop-through outputs. Helpful system interface features include a global 12 VDC in/out trigger and zone-independent 12 VDC triggers. 

8, 100-watt channels into 8 Ohms become 200 watts per channel with 4-Ohm loudspeaker loads. When two channels bridge outputs, that single channel produces 400 watts into 8 Ohms, more than enough power for even the most demanding loudspeaker configurations. Popular in the M Series, the D Series now features built-in speaker profiles from members of AudioControls Sound Partners™ program, offering DSP-optimized speaker calibrations from a growing list of prominent loudspeaker manufacturers.

Discover for yourself the countless critical ways in which AudioControl D series amplifiers contribute to successful commercial, residential, and Pro Audio systems.
