Predictable Precision

dARTS digital theater is the most cinema true sound reproduction home system on the market today. dARTS Theater (Digital Audio Reference Theater System) speakers are perfectly calibrated at the factory, then calibrated again to your specific room. The result ensures true sound perfection, regardless of the room’s acoustics. You’ve never heard movies and music sound so precise!

dARTS Theater is an all-digital system that includes an intelligent amplifier that precisely calibrates the speakers’ performance and is the most precise and predictable speaker system you can own. Each speaker driver in the system is custom tuned to match within 0.5 dB of each other and every dARTS system is calibrated and aligned to a reference performance level. The systems minimum SPL (loudness) is 105db in the listening area – that’s loud, precise, and clear.

Once installed, our customized version of Audyssey® MultEQ® room calibration software takes over and the specific sonic footprint of the room is taken out of the equation. MultEQ® corrects room anomalies to achieve the perfected “reference” listening experience in any room, providing a precise, acoustic performance matching the sonic quality of a precision-tuned movie theater.

Precision Calibrated Theater, dARTS Theater.

“This is a truly one-of-a-kind system that takes the listening room’s acoustical anomalies out of the equation, letting listeners enjoy the pure movie sound soundtrack and music that the artists intended.”

Creator of dARTS and VP of Research & Development

Some technologies are envisioned long before they can be realized.

Our engineers closely monitored the advancement of DSP (digital signal processing) technologies and envisioned their use in active, digitally amplified speakers, enabling complete control over their performance.

Fifteen years of research and development followed this initial idea. Finalizing the concept for a digitally controlled and powered speaker, Phase Tech collaborated with Audyssey Laboratories® to create a home theater calibration system that would provide optimal performance regardless of room conditions. The result was dARTS Theater – a “Digital Audio Reference Theater System”. The original dARTS™ Theater, unveiled in 2005, was met with amazement by reviewers – it was the first speaker system with predictable results in both the lab and the listening room.

Today, several versions of dARTS Theater are available to fit the aesthetics of the room with the output to meet our SPL specs. There are two different sizes of dARTS Theater speakers; a two-way 535 Series built around 5.25” woofers, and a larger, three-way 660 Series using 6.5” woofers. Within each family, dARTS offers: In-Wall (IW) for discreet flush-mounting, On-Wall (OW) for surface mount needs, Custom Box (CB), suitable for placement inside cabinets or behind perforated theater screens, and Freestanding (FS) curved and angled piano gloss black cabinets to make a bold visual, as well as aural, statement. Overhead speakers and dARTS subwoofers are also available and can be added to the system to create a Dolby® Atmos® theater.

All dARTS Theater speakers are built in Jacksonville, Florida and can be customized to perfectly integrate into any room. The CB versions in both the 535 and 660 Series can even be altered in size and shape to fit within unique-shaped spaces.
