Cary Audio Cinema 11a

3.6/5 rating (17 votes)
Similar to the original, award winning Cinema 11, the award winning Cinema 11a was designed as an “audio focused” home theater processor with (x2) HDMI v1.3 inputs to accept the high resolution bit stream audio signals available from Blu ray discs today. The separate, companion video processor Cinema 11v, will switch all other HDMI video sources through it’s (x6) HDMI and (x2) components video inputs and output the video to the Cinema 11a through one of its HDMI v1.3 outputs.

We are purists at heart here at Cary Audio thus the lack of a true “video section” within the Cinema 11a. With a straight forward, shielded HDMI video repeater/pass-through, the Cinema 11a is as close as you can get to “audio only” within the parameters and needs of today’s high definition audio codecs. The unit allows for the independent setup of 2 listener profiles labeled as “music mode” and “movie mode”. These listener profiles have independent settings for speaker configuration, speaker distance, speaker level and crossover points.  The Cinema 11a has 8 inputs which can be configured for optical digital, coaxial digital, or analog. Input 1 is actually a dedicated balanced input which can be set for balanced stereo analog or 110ohm balanced digital, both over XLR. Other features include an auto-setup via the included microphone and auto room EQ.

The most significant feature of the Cinema 11a is its ability to decode the raw bitstream signal from Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD and DTS HD MA. Through the HDMI v1.3 inputs the lossless, unaltered bitstream signal is sent to the Cinema 11a to be decoded within the Cirrus Logic processor, thus producing a much more faithful reproduction of the original movie score. With the absolute latest in technological advancements of high resolution audio formats, the Cinema 11a draws the listener into their music and movies like never before.

Over the last 8 years, Cary Audio Design has streamlined and perfected the home theater processor. The sonic performance of the Cinema 11a is simply unrivaled. Our deep roots in high-end 2-channel audio and sincere devotion to faithful, lifelike audio reproduction have never been more evident than with the Cinema 11a. Whether it is rattling the walls from the most explosive movie soundtrack to tickling your ears from the most delicate violin solo of your favorite CD, the Cinema 11a is a true audiophile home theater processor for the audio purist. From source input to speaker output, there is no other processor available that has the feature set, sonic transparency and emotional impact of the Cinema 11a.
