CloudAmp 16.700

16-Channel DSP Amplifier for Spatial & Commercial Audio

The CloudAmp 16.700 is a high-density 16-channel Class-D amplifier with integrated DSP and Dante networking, purpose-built for Spatial audio, multi-zone installations, media rooms, and home cinema systems. Each of its 16 outputs delivers robust power (700 W per channel) to drive speakers, subwoofers, height/overhead channels or distributed zones with precision. Seamlessly blending performance, flexibility, and remote control, the CloudAmp 16.700 is ideal for installations that span from luxury residential cinemas to complex commercial audio environments.

Whether you’re building a cutting-edge spatial audio system in a media room or deploying a networked audio solution across multiple zones in a hotel, museum or retail space, the CloudAmp 16.700 gives you the tools, power and control to exceed expectations.

Key Features of the CloudAmp 16.700

• 16 × 700 W Class-D Outputs
  Extreme headroom and channel count to support large immersive systems, multi-channel surround, multiple zones, or height layers in spatial audio.

• Integrated 16×16 Dante Networking
  Built-in Dante (96 kHz) with primary/secondary ports gives you seamless integration into Dante audio networks and ensures redundancy for mission-critical installs.

• Full-featured DSP on Every Channel
  Each channel includes:

  • Gain control (–80 dB to +15 dB, 0.1 dB steps)

  • Delay (0–250 ms, shared between user & group)

  • 12 PEQ filters per channel with multiple filter types

  • HP/LP filtering (Bessel, Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley; slopes 6–48 dB/oct)

  • Dual-stage limiting (RMS + peak)

  • 768-tap FIR filtering per channel for ultra-precise alignment and timing control

• Cloud-based Remote Control & Monitoring
  Use the IntelliCloud WebUI to control and monitor the amplifier from anywhere — no client software required. This lets you manage large channel counts, monitor status, push DSP presets, and simplify maintenance for multi-unit deployments.

• GlidePath™ Technology for Low Distortion & Latency
  The amplifier is built on Apex’s GlidePath architecture, using DC coupling throughout to reduce distortion and interstage latency. The result: crisper transients, more accurate imaging, and improved dynamic clarity — essential for immersive audio systems.

• True Cone Excursion Control
  By managing the speaker’s physical excursion during peaks, this feature protects drivers, reduces distortion, and helps maintain system integrity in demanding playback environments (e.g. movie soundtracks, orchestral passages).

• Flexible Load Support
  Drive both low-impedance (4/8 Ω) speakers and high-voltage distributed lines (70 V / 100 V), making the amplifier versatile for both commercial zones and dedicated cinema speaker arrays.

• Slim 1U Rack Design & Quiet Cooling
  Despite its high channel count, the unit fits into a 1U rack space and uses efficient cooling to minimize audible fan noise — critical in quiet rooms and auditoriums.

• Universal Power & Active PFC
  Supports 100–240 VAC input with active power factor correction for clean, efficient power use.
  Includes remote and front-panel on/off switching and a detachable mains cable.

• Fallback Analogue Inputs
  Four analogue input channels offer fallback or auxiliary audio sources in non-Dante or hybrid systems.

• High-Visibility OLED & Local Control
  Front-panel OLED display and touch/rotary control provide hands-on access when local setup or configuration is needed.

Why Choose the CloudAmp 16.700?

• For Immersive Audio & Home Cinema — The 16-channel architecture is perfect for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro-3D, and next-gen spatial audio installations. You can drive overhead, surround, height, and sub channels all from one amplifier platform.

• For Multi-Zone Commercial Audio Systems — Ideal for hotels, museums, retail, houses of worship where many zones and source routings are needed.

• For Integrators & System Designers — The built-in DSP, Dante integration, remote control, and high channel density significantly reduce equipment count, rack space, cabling and system complexity.

• For System Longevity & Performance — Features like GlidePath, True Cone Excursion control, and remote monitoring help you deliver durable, clean, reliable performance in demanding environments.
