C-DSP 8x12 DL Dirac Live by miniDSP
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.
