The Outlaw Audio Model 990 is a 7.1-channel home theater preamplifier/processor that combines advanced surround processing with traditional stereo preamp features, including an MM phono stage and an integrated AM/FM tuner. It decodes a broad range of surround formats such as Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II/IIx, Dolby Virtual Speaker, Dolby Headphone, DTS, DTS-ES Discrete/Matrix, DTS 96/24, and DTS Neo:6, with 24-bit/192 kHz DACs used on all channels for high-resolution playback. The unit provides extensive connectivity, including 2 DVI inputs and 1 DVI output, 3 high-bandwidth component video inputs, 7 S-video and 10 composite video inputs, 5 optical and 2 coaxial digital inputs, plus multiple analog audio inputs and a 7.1-channel analog direct input with bass management and pure bypass modes. Outputs include 7.1 RCA pre-outs with dual subwoofer outputs, balanced audio outputs for all main channels, digital outputs (optical/coax), and a full Zone 2 A/V output for multiroom use. The Model 990 offers video transcoding between composite, S-video, and component inputs (excluding DVI), DVI switching, lip-sync delay, renameable inputs, and an on-screen display via composite, S-video, and component video. System setup is supported by automatic speaker calibration using a supplied microphone, along with a flexible quadruple crossover bass-management system that allows independent crossover settings for front L/R, center, surround L/R, and surround back L/R channels. The processor is software-upgradeable via RS-232 and USB, and the USB port also functions as a PC audio input, effectively allowing the 990 to act as a large external USB sound card for computer-based playback. Physical specifications are approximately 17.38" (W) x 7.75" (H) x 17.75" (D) with a weight of about 28 lbs, and the original list price was around $1,099 when sold new.
