Signal processors (DSP)

Digital sound optimization with signal processors (DSP)

If the sound system in the car is to be tuned for maximum listening pleasure based on personal sound requirements, a DSP is exactly the right component to adjust the music playback to high-end level. The top sellers in this category are: DD Audio DSI-3, ESX DIRECTION D68SP, Ground Zero GZDSP 4-8XII. If you want to jump straight to the most popular brands, we recommend you take a look at: ESX, Ground Zero, DD Audio.

What is a signal processor used for?

A signal processor is connected between the power amplifier and the speakers and processes the audio signals digitally in real time. With a DSP, numerous equalizer settings can be made to optimize the sound. A DSP also offers extensive setting options for high and low pass filters. Digital signal processing results in loss-free listening pleasure. The frequency separation of individual speakers can also be individually adjusted.

When is a signal processor useful?

A DSP is often used in complex sound systems and is intended for acoustic fine-tuning. With high-performance processors, it is possible to carry out runtime configurations and assign a specific volume value to each speaker. A DSP is already integrated in some amplifier models, otherwise it must be purchased as an external box.

What should I look out for in a DSP?

Depending on how complex the sound system is, it is important to ensure that there are a sufficient number of inputs and outputs. Most DSPs have four to six inputs in the form of cinch or high-level connections. On the other side, there are typically six to twelve RCA outputs for a multi-channel speaker system.

Conclusion

A DSP is the most modern form of sound optimization and offers extensive equalizer settings for an optimal sound experience. However, the setting options require a certain amount of technical know-how. Beginners should therefore familiarize themselves with the subject in advance.
