Falcon 12 Channel Class D Amplifier w/ 16 Channel DSP

The ARC Audio Falcon DSP Amplifier delivers the perfect balance of power, flexibility, and precision tuning in one compact, installer-friendly chassis. Designed exclusively for ARC Audio by Robert Zeff and engineered in the USA, the Falcon combines 12 bridgeable Class-D amplifier channels with 16 channels of high-resolution DSP control—opening the door to advanced system designs, multi-way active configurations, and seamless OEM integration.

At its core, the Falcon runs ARC’s flagship Pro-Series DSP platform, built on the Analog Devices ADAU1462 processor and dual AKM Velvet Sound™ converters (AK5558B ADC / AK4438VN DAC). This audiophile-grade architecture supports 192kHz / 32-bit audio, delivering stunning clarity, ultra-low distortion, and wide dynamic range.

Tuning is handled through ARC Audio’s DNA DSP software, providing professional tools like 444-band EQ, all-pass filters, time alignment, crossover control, and full input/output matrix routing. Integration is equally refined, with iDatalink Maestro AR compatibility for direct OEM amplifier replacement, retaining all factory features and controls.

For system optimization, the Falcon includes Class-D Switching Frequency Control to reduce interference, microprocessor-controlled fan cooling for silent thermal management, and compatibility with ARC’s PSC full-function controller, LR1 programmable remote, and future ARC Audio control solutions.

Whether you’re building an all-out competition system or upgrading a premium OEM platform, the Falcon delivers the channels, processing, and integration flexibility to take your sound to the next level.
