Over the past decade, EAD has redefined high-end home theater with groundbreaking digital audio and video innovations. EAD has joined two other audio innovators, Alpha Digital Technologies and TARA Labs, to create the new standard in digital audio and video excellence. When EAD joined Alpha Digital Technologies and TARA Labs in 2001, all three companies had established reputations for digital audio excellence. EAD has grown to become the world leader in digital audio and video technology with the introductions of the TheaterMaster and PowerMaster.

TARA Labs and Alpha Digital Technologies, high-end audio industry leaders in cable technology and digital research, have combined their advanced production and research capabilities to improve upon the legendary EAD systems. The result is a new line of EAD products that provide the world's finest digital audio and video experience.

DVDMaster 8000

Start with DVD-Audio, offering ten times the bandwidth of CD. Add EAD’s proprietary digital and analog electronics and the versatility of up to eight channels of audio output. That’s 8-Channel Total Capability as only the DVDMaster can deliver it.

DVDMaster DVD-Audio players offer maximum versatility, supporting a myriad of multi-channel systems, from a single pair of front speakers up to a full 7.1 Surround system.

The DVDMaster DVD-Audio Player's natural, breathtaking audio and video captures the vital musical and visual nuances missed by most mass-market players. EAD’s exclusive Bass Management system provides unrivalled integration of low frequencies in any system as well as flexible control of bass frequencies. Eight channels of balanced output ensure the highest quality of signal transfer for every channel. Integral analog gain control enables the DVDMaster to connect directly to a power amp, bypassing a processor, if desired, for pure audiophile-quality signal transfer.

The DVDMaster offers the unique ability to separately trim extra surround channel output, for ultimate control of the audio environment. Levels for all eight channels can be individually controlled via remote, so you can dial in the sound from your favorite listening chair.

EAD’s enhanced video processing system produces dramatic visual details, rich color saturation and image resolution that rivals 35mm film. The flexible 8000, 8000 Pro EAD DVD-Audio Players accommodate virtually all 5" DVD and CD formats including MP3.

EAD’s PowerMaster amplifiers combine ultra-low noise and distortion, massive power output and an onboard computer to deliver unparalleled musical reproduction: up to eight channels of high performance that add up to total capability.

The onboard parameter management computer senses irregularities in any input or output circuits, activating ultra-fast cutoff switches. PowerMaster's low inter-channel cross-talk eliminates the need for separate power supplies and allows for a virtually unlimited reservoir of power that can be tapped by any individual channel or any combination of channels.

The heatsinks use a breakthrough technology known as Aero-Fin™, a unique design that provides more efficient operation with less than half the weight and more than twice the heat dissipation of typical designs. AccuLinear® analog design prevents distortion while delivering full output across the audio spectrum to guarantee linear performance with no clipping or transient intermodulation distortion.

The AC Master is a state-of-the-art AC power supply center that uses a combination of balanced transformers and RF/EMI absorption devices to dramatically reduce the noise in the power supply and absorb RF & EMI interference. The AC Master features isolated digital and analog transformers that provide separate power to analog and digital connections for source components, preamps and video components. The balanced transformers provide ‘technical power’ and reduce the ‘in band’ AC noise. Our proprietary Ceralex™ devices then dissipate RFI and EMI for a vanishingly low noise floor. The sound is pure and natural without the harshness caused by high frequency distortion and out of phase effects.

Ceralex™ Components Improve Your System’s Sound

The AC Master features passive components made of a proprietary material known as Ceralex™. This revolutionary material actually dissipates RF and EMI to provide a more pure and natural signal.
Most power line filters treat only “live” and “neutral” lines, to prevent interference from entering the soundstage. Ceralex™ components are placed on all incoming AC lines, including the “ground” line, and frequency-tuned for maximum efficiency. This results in a lower noise floor and improves the dynamic range of every component in your system.

ACMaster 8000 Power Screen Features:

  • A series of frequency tuned Ceralex™ devices dissipate RFI and EMI.
  • 14 outlets: six analog balanced, six digital balanced. Two 20-amp outlets for power amps and projectors.
  • Triggered remote and sequentially switched outlets control power supply settling time in components.
  • Isolated balanced transformers separately supplying analog and digital outlets.
  • Triggered remote sequentially switched outlets controls power supply settling time in components.

AC Master 8000 Applications:

  • Two high current outlets for power amplifiers and projectors.
  • CD players and transports; DVD players.
  • DAC or digital processors.
  • Preamplifiers and other analog source components.
  • Video processors.
  • AV receivers and other video components.
