When the M15 was first introduced in 2005 it redefined the performance and value expectations for consumers worldwide. With a string of rave reviews and awards including the prestigious EISA Award for ‘Best Home Cinema’, the M15 has become a classic in its own right. There is now a new generation of video source and display products that support high resolution video and high definition audio. The new M15 HD has been re-engineered to take full advantage of these new High Definition formats. We have also added some interesting new features to enhance your enjoyment and protect your investment.

Video processing power: The M15 HD features a Sigma VXP image processor, which uses professional-grade algorithms developed for the broadcasting industry and the most advanced high speed DSPs on the market. The VXP video board can access more than a billion colors for eye-popping, natural images. Motion adaptive de-interlacing with edge interpolation eliminates the jagged edge effects common in lesser image processors. Advanced noise reduction and detail enhancement improve analog video sources to near HD quality.
High-performance audio: With 24-bit/192kHz analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion, the M15 HD delivers stunning audio quality. The M15 HD uses multiple 2-channel DACs rather than the 8-channel DACs found in lesser surround sound processors. It has four times the processing power of the original M15 and is using the latest ultra-high-speed 32-bit floating point DSPs to make the most of cutting-edge audio formats, such as Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD™ Master Audio.
Customizable presets and convenient remote access Audio/video presets let you take a "snapshot" of any combination of speaker selection, level, and crossover frequency, to be recalled with just a couple of button presses of the remote control. You could have different presets for music and movies, or even settings for different types of music or different surround modes. The remote control gives you direct access to the subwoofer, center channel, and surround speaker levels, without calling up menus, so you can easily make adjustments without interrupting your video program.
Multi-room audio/video options You can establish three independent audio zones, each with its own remote control codes. These zone outputs have independent source selection and volume control, and are ready to interface with outboard amplifiers and controllers to send music to other rooms in your home. One zone also has an independent video feed.
Outstanding build quality Aluminium extrusions, zinc castings, and heavy gauge steel come together in a chassis that is as rugged as it is handsome. All audio and video input circuits are on individual modules that can be easily upgraded in the future if desired. The operating and decoding software may be upgraded via serial port when new features and formats become available. With rear-panel IR input and outputs, programmable 12-volt triggers, and an RS-232 port, the M15 HD is compatible with many advanced control systems.
