Think of it as a "legacy" option, sort of like a composite or RGB input on an AVR.But wait though!
Some product takes an analog input, puts it through an ADC to digitize it, to route that back to the interface digital input?! A round trip conversion and a whole ADC stage just for that? That would be mighty weird!
Yeah sure, to use their DSP and all. Still weird!
Unbeatable? Debatable. Focal and ATC make exceptional Atmos Surround speakers for 9.1.4 and beyond, as does PMC.A full Genelec surround system with Genelec subs all managed by Genlecs GLM room correction is pretty much unbeatable as far as flat freq response,directivity etc
I see the marketing spin with that. It still makes no sense in any universe! You'd... plug the analog signal straight in! And not build an extra whole ADC stage just to add generation loss. There are probably some shenanigans going on someone is desperately trying to hide in that example. (If that is accurate and this isn't just miscommunication.)Think of it as a "legacy" option, sort of like a composite or RGB input on an AVR.
I do like my Genelec 1032a speakers. I only have a stereo pair. I will say that for mixing, nothing gets by you with the Genelecs. If it's in the wire, it WILL be heard from the speaker! No bs! Having said that, I think I like my AR9 speakers just a little better. I think the high mids are just a little more unforgivingly flat. I went with expanding the AR9s for 7.1.4. Also it would have cost $20k for another 9 1032a and one of their subs! I'm not getting gigs to support that! But I really do like the AR9s and don't feel like I compromised in any way....

It may be the latter. I would never choose to use an analog input to a "digital" loudspeaker only to have it redigitized. OTOH, I do not object to having that as an option on a "digital" loudspeaker that also has direct digital inputs (wired and wireless).

Haven't heard the AR9 personally but I'm sure they are of the same caliber.I do like my Genelec 1032a speakers. I only have a stereo pair.
