ARC Audio's Falcon DSP amplifier provides the perfect balance of power, flexibility and precision tuning in one compact, installer-friendly chassis. Designed exclusively for ARC Audio by Robert Zeff and developed in the USA, Falcon combines 12 bridgeable Class D amplifier channels with 16 high-resolution DSP channels - opening the door to advanced system designs, multi-way active configurations and seamless OEM integration.<\/p>\n
Specification:<\/strong><\/p>\n Processor type<\/strong>: Integrated DSP amplifier At the core of Falcon is the flagship ARC Pro Series DSP platform, built on the Analog Devices ADAU1462 processor and dual AKM Velvet Sound\u2122 converters (AK5558B ADC \/ AK4438VN DAC). This audiophile architecture supports 192 kHz \/ 32-bit audio, offering stunning clarity, ultra-low distortion and wide dynamic range.<\/p>\n Tuning is done via the ARC Audio DNA DSP software, which provides professional tools such as 444-band EQ, all-pass filters, time alignment, crossover control and full matrix I\/O routing. Integration is equally refined, with compatibility with iDatalink Maestro AR for direct OEM amplifier replacement while retaining all factory features and controls.<\/p>\n To optimise the system, Falcon features Class D switching frequency control for noise reduction, microprocessor-based fan cooling for quiet thermal management and compatibility with the ARC PSC full-function controller, LR1 programmable remote control and future ARC Audio control solutions.<\/p>\n Whether you're creating a top-of-the-range competition system or upgrading a premium OEM factory platform, Falcon delivers the channels, processing power and integration flexibility needed to take your sound to the next level.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 12-channel amplifier with 16-channel DSP.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":11860,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"default","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"default","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"default","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"default","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[91],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-11853","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-12-kanalowe","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple","entry","content-bg","loop-entry"],"acf":[],"taxonomy_info":{"product_cat":[{"value":91,"label":"12-kana\u0142owe"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/www.creativ.net.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG-20250930-WA0007-1024x496.jpg",1024,496,true],"author_info":[],"comment_info":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.creativ.net.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/11853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.creativ.net.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.creativ.net.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.creativ.net.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.creativ.net.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.creativ.net.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=11853"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.creativ.net.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=11853"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.creativ.net.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=11853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
