The SMART Model DM-6 Digital Magic Digital
Sound Controller is an interface unit designed to
connect the audio outputs from digital signal pro­cessors such as the DTS or Dolby DA20 to an exist­ing sound system. It does not matter what stereo
processor you are now using. The outputs from your
stereo processor are simply disconnected from the
amplifier inputs and re-connected to the Optical
Inputs on the DM-6. The DM-6 outputs are then
connected to the amplifier inputs. The DM-6 will
then pass either the optical signals or the signals

from the digital processor to the amplifiers.
All switching is automatic, and there are manual as
well as automatic fallbacks to the optical processor
should the digital system or the DM-6 fail. The DM­6 has been made as failsafe as possible. Once the
film is running, the operator does not have to do
any switching except in certain types of failures.
