Hertz 6 To 8 Channels Digital Signal Processor

$400.00

The ultra-compact S8 DSP isthe perfect solution for integrating any OEM source into your audio upgrade projectfor cars, motorcycles, and boats! S8 DSP is a distilled essence of technology at the service of the highest audio quality in a corrosion-free case cast in metal and composite materials.

The Hertz S8 DSP processes audio signals with 96 kHz/24-bit resolution and has obtained the Hi-Res certification from the Japan Audio Society (JAS), acknowledging the extreme level of audio performance achieved. This powerful 32-bit DSP manages 6 high/low-level analog input channels, one digital coaxial input, and 8 output channels, offering maximum configuration freedom. The SPDIF coaxial input is ideal for digital connection with a Hi-Res player, allowing for maximum listening quality. Each of the eight output channels features level control, a 15-pole parametric equalizer, time delays, and crossover filters. The 7-band parametric equalizer for input signals helps achieve a flat response from OEM sources, which often have an exaggerated emphasis on low frequencies.
