miniDSP Harmony DSP 8x12 Dirac Live

The fully digital miniDSP Harmony DSP 8x12 DSP amplifier features a six-channel digital audio input via USB, an optical stereo input (TOSLINK), Dirac Live® Acoustic correction and 12 output channels.

Hardware features specifically tailored to the vehicle environment include an isolated on-board power supply, remote trigger input/output, and a wired remote control with OLED display for the dashboard or console. Flexible output configurations provide a wide variety of system configurations: each output can be a 40-watt power amplifier or a line-level output to drive external amplifiers. In addition, each output pair can be configured in parallel BTL mode for 80 W of power into 2 Ω loads.

In addition to Dirac Live, the Harmony DSP 8x12 includes miniDSP's powerful, easy-to-use audio processing: parametric EQs, compressors, adjustable time delay, crossovers up to 48 dB/octave, and an advanced matrix mixer with rear/center functionality. Four complete processing configurations are stored in flash memory and can be recalled with a wired or infrared remote control.
