Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Octet Matrix Audio DW4416-50 wireless amplifier system.
Please read through the entire manual before attempting to install your wireless system.
Wireless setup & operation can sometimes be problematic, but by following the guidelines in
this manual, you should have your system up and running optimally with few problems.
Features
Octet Matrix Audio has set the standard for wireless amplification by integrating
uncompressed CD quality wireless audio transmission with high efficiency Class T
amplification in convenient, easy to use systems. Utilizing the 5.8 GHz wireless band, the
DW4416-50 wireless speaker system offers trouble free operation in most home
environments.
The Octet Matrix Audio DW4416-50 wireless amplification system provides the following
class leading features:
44.1 kHz/16 bit uncompressed digital audio for CD quality wireless audio transmission.
Completely independent right and left amplifiers with integrated wireless receiver and
50 watt RMS class T amplifier (100 watts RMS total).
Minimizes interference possibilities by operating in the less crowded 5.8 GHz wireless
band.
Wireless audio link produces less than 1 millisecond latency (delay) making the
DW4416-50 wireless amplifiers ideally suited for use in home theater systems. Other
wireless systems can have as much as 30 milliseconds latency, making them unusable
in many home theater installations.
High efficiency Class T amplifier delivers 50 watts RMS at less than .04% THD with very
little excess heat generation. Class T amplifier architecture provides high definition
audio performance while operating at class D amplifier efficiency.
Exclusive Octet Matrix Audio wireless setup CD confirms proper system setup and
allows users to optimize wireless system dynamic range.
