News & Blog > Meet the Tonewinner AT-600: High-End 16-Channel Processing Meets Dirac Live

The home cinema market just got a serious shake-up. If you’ve been waiting for a processor that bridges the gap between ultra-premium audio formats and attainable pricing, the wait is over.

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming arrival of the Tonewinner AT-600, a powerhouse 16-channel 8K AV processor that marks a major milestone: it is the first Chinese OEM-developed processor to fully integrate the world-renowned Dirac Live acoustic optimization platform.

At a retail price of £2,249 — and an exclusive pre-order special of £1,999 — the AT-600 is poised to become the undisputed performance-to-value king of 16-channel processing.

Uncompromised 16-Channel Immersion

Under the hood, the AT-600 is built for serious, no-compromise home theater environments. Powered by a new dual-core DSP chip from ADI, it processes the most demanding object-based audio tracks without breaking a sweat.

  • Massive Channel Count: Support for up to 9.3.4 or 7.3.6 speaker configurations, allowing you to maximize Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundtracks.
  • Fully Balanced Audio: Features fully balanced XLR signal outputs for your primary 7.3.6 / 9.3.4 array, ensuring absolute signal purity and rejecting interference on long cable runs to your power amps.
  • Next-Gen Video: Complete 8K video passthrough via HDMI 2.1, with full support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG.

The Dirac Live Advantage

The most exciting aspect of the AT-600 is its partnership with Dirac. Historically, the room itself has been the most overlooked component of any audio system. Tonewinner has addressed this head-on by launching the AT-600 with the most advanced room correction suite available.

Out of the box, the AT-600 supports both Dirac Live Room Correction and Dirac Live Bass Control (DLBC), co-optimizing your subwoofers and main speakers to deliver incredibly tight, even bass across multiple seating positions.

Even better? Tonewinner and Dirac have confirmed that Dirac Live Active Room Treatment (ART) will be introduced via a firmware update later this year. ART is a game-changing technology that uses your entire speaker array collectively to actively cancel out room resonances, effectively replacing bulky physical bass traps.
