Systems, devices, and methods for reconfiguring and routing a multichannel audio file

A multichannel audio system for reconfiguring and routing multichannel audio files to one or more speaker devices, the multichannel audio system comprising:

• an audio interface device comprising:
• a plurality of line-level program channel ports each configured to output an audio signal to a speaker;
• and
• a computing device in communication with the audio interface device, wherein the computing device is configured to:
• identify a plurality of input channels in a multichannel audio file, wherein each input channel includes an audio signal including a frequency bandwidth,
• assign each of the input channels to two or more output channels,
• route the entire frequency bandwidth of each of the input channels to each of the assigned two or more output channels, and
• transmit an audio output signal including the entire frequency bandwidth corresponding to each output channel to the audio interface device,
• wherein the computing device is configured to identify at least:
• a first multichannel audio file selected from the group consisting of:
• a two channel audio file, a four channel audio file, a five channel audio file, an eight channel octophonic audio file, an eight channel dual quadrophonic audio file, an eight channel 3D quadrophonic audio file, a ten channel decaphonic audio file, a ten channel dual surround audio file, and a ten channel 3D surround audio file, and
• a second multichannel audio file selected from the group consisting of:
• a two channel audio file, a four channel audio file, a five channel audio file, an eight channel octophonic audio file, an eight channel dual quadrophonic audio file, an eight channel 3D quadrophonic audio file, a ten channel decaphonic audio file, a ten channel dual surround audio file, and a ten channel 3D surround audio file,
• wherein the second multichannel audio file is different than the first multichannel audio file.
