Hertz S8 DSP

The ultra-compact S8 DSP is the perfect solution for integrating any OEM source into your car, motorcycle and boat audio upgrade project! S8 DSP is the collected essence of technology in the service of the highest audio quality in a corrosion-free metal and composite housing.

The S8 DSP processes the audio signal with a resolution of 96 kHz / 24 bits and has received the Hi-Res certification from JAS (Japan Audio Society), a recognition that attests to the extreme level of audio performance achieved.

The powerful 32-bit DSP manages 6 high/low level analog input channels, a digital coaxial input and 8 output channels, offering the specialist maximum configuration freedom. The coaxial SPDIF input is ideal for digital connection to a Hi-Res player, a solution that allows maximum listening quality. A level control, the 15-pin parametric equalizer, time delays and crossover filters are available for each of the eight output channels. The 7-band parametric equalizer of the input signal enables a neutral reproduction of OEM sources, which often have an exaggerated emphasis on the low frequencies.
