A good Amplifier not only delivers watts, it controls your speakers. Many mainstream amps dazzle with high numbers but lose stability under load. Our selection of power amplifiers from Deaf Bonce and DD Audio stands for honest power ratings and maximum efficiency – so your system plays cleanly even at the limit.
C-DSP 8x12 DL Dirac Live by miniDSP Description
miniDSP is proud to introduce the new flagship of car audio DSPs, the C-DSP 8x12 DL. The miniDSP C-DSP 8x12 DL is the first and only car audio sound processor to use Dirac Live® room correction. In addition, it features a 400 MHz SHARC floating-point processor and 32-bit converters with -107 dB THD+N specification, delivering uncolored high-resolution audio in any cabin environment. The extensive I/Os include six differential low-level analog inputs for low-noise pickup, high-level inputs for connection to head units with amplification, as well as stereo SPDIF and TOSLINK digital inputs. On the output side, 12 RCA outputs combined with a full eight channels of Dirac Live processing make the C-DSP 8x12 DL adaptable for active crossover systems as well as multi-channel/surround installations with subwoofer integration.
Also included is the powerful, easy-to-use audio processing from miniDSP: parametric EQ, compressors, adjustable time delay, crossovers up to 48 dB/octave, and an advanced matrix mixer with rear/center capability. Four complete configurations are stored in flash memory and can be accessed with a wired or infrared remote control. The hardware features specifically designed for the vehicle environment include an isolated power supply and a remote trigger input/output, as well as a wired remote control for dashboard mounting.
