The MUSE 16-channel immersive media room processor boasts 112 surround sound speaker layouts available to choose from, including 52 Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive speaker layouts -- up to an amazing 15.1 immersive audio configuration. Setting up any of these layouts is a snap with the intuitive UI available both on the front panel and via the simple-to-use mobile app. System integration and control is simplified through many 3rd party control solutions.
Extremely compact, the MUSE stands just 2RU tall but delivers more features and audio purity in its sleek frame than any other media room solution to date. Acurus' own room correction technology, ASPEQT, is supported in MUSE, so any media room or private cinema is primed for optimization via ASPEQT to unleash the breathtaking Acurus sound.
To make the very best audio connections, Acurus has two custom-made cables included with this product. The DB9 to XLR 4-channel output adapter cable, called the TETRA, is a must if the maximum channel count is desired for the ACT 4 or MUSE immersive processors. For single output channels, the Acurus MONO XLR cable is the best choice.

The Acurus MUSE supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS immersive audio formats
