hey this is Drew with Moon Audio and we're really excited today to have gary dayton
from bryston and we're here to talk about a fantastic new pre-pro processor
for your home theater the SP 4 I've been waiting a long time for a new processor
that really had the configurations that I needed from my home theater I'm still
using the Denon upa-1c HDI it's a honker big massive chassis a little bit
taller than the sp4 weighs a million pounds and it's the only processor at
the time that had at least two but actually has three subwoofer outputs so
that I can really get a good configuration on my home theater in the
way I want it to sound the bad news about it is it's dated it doesn't have
Dolby Atmos and you know I need to get with new technology so finally somebody
has come out with something very special and I'm very excited about to replace
out with and we're gonna be selling it at Moon Audio starting when starting at
the end of the month into the month and what month is this
this is May so Gary's going to tell us a little bit about the functionality then
we're going to turn it around and look at more of the technical inputs and
outputs and all the crazy things you can do with it so tell us about it Carrie
alright so Bryson is very pleased to introduce the new SP 4 this is a fully
functional surround sound immersive surround sound processor for high-end
home theaters the unit features 16 fully configurable outputs a seven by two HDMI
switch you can take seven HDMI ends to HDMI outs it supports the full range of
dolby digital DTS at most DTS X and even or 3d surround codecs you can mix legacy
sources to take full advantage of your immersive surround loudspeaker layout it
can also process to channel sources in either their native mode or a nut mix it
doubles as not only a very high quality surround processor but also an extremely
good quality to channel preamp as well one of the nice things about the SP 4 is
that not everybody has 16 channel layout and
home theater but any unused channels can be routed to either a second zone or you
can build a special headphone out zone using the sphere audio codec to get
surround virtualization and you're in your headphone unit or you can route
your sources to distribute audio systems throughout the home regardless of how
you use the sp4 there's always a way to take full advantage of all 16 outputs on
the back plus the down mix channels to build your entire home entertainment
system around this unit so we'll take a look at the back part of the SP 4 where
there's just a plethora of inputs and outputs and and first we're going to
talk about the video aspect yeah so the the SP 4 has a full suite of inputs and
outputs that are fully configurable so regardless of how your theater is
configured you can find a way to use the SP 4 in a very intuitive and a high
performance way taking a look first at the HDMI inputs we have seven inputs and
two outputs this HDMI switch can accept a wide variety of formats it can process
at up to 600 megahertz so you get full HD are 4k for the inputs out of the box
run at hdcp 2.2 HDMI 2.0 speeds the other three can be enabled to run the
that speed as well through software and then the two outputs let you configure
two different monitors these are in parallel so maybe you want to have one
go to a projector and another go to a television but this is a this is a
modern software upgradeable HDMI sleeve so that has new additions of HDMI come
out we should be able to issue firmware updates to keep your SP for current for
quite a long time and essentially it's all passed through so you don't have to
worry about any issues with formats not being taken care of this so you can do
your 3d or 4k whatever it's going to pass through and whatever your blu-ray
DVD Xbox etc is doing it's going to push it through no matter what
and a great other feature with the dual outputs as you can do
picture and picture with your projector so you can watch two sports games at
once so that's very nice so tell us about the the audio outputs that's going
to go to all of our amplifiers so take note first of the fact that of these 16
channel outputs not a single one is labeled for a specific speaker location
they're simply labeled 1 through 16 instead of left front right front Center
etc that's because each one of these fully balanced analog outputs is
configurable to any loudspeaker location in your theater or in another zone in
addition to the 16 balanced outputs we have a pair of dedicated down mix
outputs so these down mix outputs will always process 2.0 down mix of whatever
surround program you're running and you can assign those to either run to the
distributed audio system in your home or you might decide to add the optional
Sphere audio license which is an incredibly believable headphone
virtualizer forced surround maybe you're down mix and headphone system is often 2
bedrooms so you can start the movie in your cinema finish up in the bedroom
with a bryceton BHA one and a headphone ready very nice very nice and what I'm
really excited as I alluded to earlier is now I can go from 3 subwoofers before
individually configured subwoofers in my home theater which I've wanted to do for
a very long time yeah everybody knows that LFE base is mono base but with the
bryceton SP 4 you can configure as many of these outputs to process subwoofers
as you'd like even though the signal is mono going into each sub every sub can
have its own level and EQ curve applied and so I'm assuming we can do DSP
correction for every speaker individually every speaker individually
yeah every channel has its own 10 band parametric equalizer and so taking care
of that boom in the room the unwanted anomalies that are happening from your
subwoofer if you've only got one LFE output you're really somewhat screwed so
now I can configure each one based on its location and the geometry of the
room to take care of too much boom and get it tighter and more controlled yeah
speaking of subwoofers you can also integrate those subs with the main
speakers through a very intelligent crossover system naturally you can set
the crossover point between the sub and the main speaker and in each one of
these channel occasions but you can also set separate crossover points
and slopes for the high pass and low pass in addition to delay so you can
always make sure you've got excellent phase addition and very linear response
to through the subwoofers and then I see we've got some RCA outputs and inputs
can you go over those for us right so in addition to the HDMI switch we also
offer legacy sources we have three Toslink and three coaxial digital inputs
as well as eight RCA inputs so looking first at the digital inputs this is a
great way to support legacy sources maybe a DVD player maybe a CD player
music server etc you these spin if receivers will take up to 192 24 digital
audio the RCA input is particularly configurable this in software can be
configured to support either 7.1 Audio maybe through an OPA or Universal disc
player if you want to listen to multi-channel audio discs and surround
or they can be configured as four pairs for stereo input pairs it also be
convenient for your older si CD players that had the multiple music audio format
outputs so that would be good for that and then if you could tell us about the
control connectors as well yeah this is where the SP 4 really shines there's a
lot of very difficult to use at most processors on the market that almost
require an advanced degree to set up and use
but barrestins SP 4 has really put quite a bit of focus on user interface and for
setup and control this means operating the SP floor through a dedicated
bryceton web interface or through an iOS app so when your SP 4 is connected to
your local network through Ethernet 100 megabits per second Ethernet connection
you can log into this from your iPad computer or mobile phone etc and go
through a series of very intuitive menus to do a setup process within that setup
process you can connect a microphone such as our our optional model here to
do automatic room calibration or take measurements you can also configure
trigger outputs so that based on what source you're listening to or what
profile you have currently enabled different products in your home theater
rack are turned on and off so using the SP 4 has the control up for your
makes an awful lot of sense based on some areas and profiles you set up you
can always have just the right gear on or off and perfectly configured and then
I see that we've got a couple of panels I guess for upgrades in the future what
do you think are some potential options for those right yeah for a processor of
this scale in this price it's very important that it stays current in your
home theater for a very long time we have two separate slots that will accept
upgrade modules right out of the gate we offer a 16 channel RCA output that can
be inserted into this slot here this will give you the opportunities to
either run 16 extra channels in your existing theater if you have a
particularly large room or you can assign these channels separately to feed
other zones other possibilities for modules in the future include a full
bypass analog section which would duplicate the precision of Bryson's
analog preamplifiers we may also do a dark section that
includes USB and spit of input but really the possibilities are endless the
digital audio and DSP engine that's built into the SP 4 has lots of extra
Headroom so that as customers come to us with specific requests we can consider
new features in the future so tell me a little bit about all the calibration
software and kits and whatnot what are the different options that customers
might want together yeah so there are several different options the SP 4 can
be configured automatically with a dirac live system with the optional direct
live kid you can place a microphone in the
theater let the SP 4 run a full suite of measurements you know with your your
laptop in the microphone and automatically program the SP 4 to have
flat response in your room you can save that calibration as a profile and make
modifications to the profile or duplicate the profile for different
listening scenarios if you choose not to purchase the dirac Live kit you can also
manually go in measure each channels response you can build groups to measure
the response of speakers and subwoofers put together and configure just the
right EQ on a per channel basis using your ears or the microphone or a
combination of the two to achieve excellent response regardless of
your home configuration
so what that means is essentially now you guys that are trying
to have two systems in one a two channel and a home theater it's very it's been
very complicated in the past to try and get both to sound right in the same room
it sounds like this tool really makes it flexible for creating a profile for
audio so when you want to listen to music it doesn't have the same sort of
boom if you will to the that you had with your theater it'll be more tight
controlled and audiophile like if you will so that's really exciting because
now even get rid of some extra gear that I've got in my theater and just set it
up as a dedicated theater that can do two channel as well and pull out my two
Channel preamp that'd be nice yeah it's worth noting that those profiles are
very very configurable in addition to different eq's that that
you can apply to the same speaker layout in one room you can also build profiles
that will let only the two front left and right speakers run in full range for
your music listening for instance but you might want to enable subwoofers for
your movie listening so use these profiles wisely build certain listening
scenarios for yourself and make listening to music and movies in the
same room an absolutely joy and pleasure very exciting well we'll have all the
information on this product on our website as well as PDFs and setup guides
and so forth in the future as they become available
we're really excited can't wait to start shipping these out to you guys thank you
