The ultra-compact S8 DSP is the perfect solution for integrating any OEM source into any audio upgrade project for 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.

S8 DSP processes the audio signal with 96 kHz / 24-bit resolution and has obtained the Hi-Res certification from the JAS (Japan Audio Society) an acknowledgment that certifies the extreme level of audio performance achieved.

The powerful 32-bit DSP manages 6 high/low-level analog input channels one digital coaxial input and 8 output channels offering maximum freedom of configuration to the specialist. The SPDIF coaxial input is ideal for digital connection with a Hi-Res player a solution that allows for maximum listening quality. For each of the eight output channels we have a level control the 15-pole parametric equalizer time delays and crossover filter available. The 7-band parametric equalizer of the input signal allows obtaining a flat response from OEM sources which often have an exaggerated emphasis on the low frequency.

Technologies

Hi-Res Audio - Hi-Res audio (96 kHz/24-bit native resolution) for unparalled audio quality.

USS (Universal Speakers Simulator) - Thanks to the built-in USS technology S8 DSP can also be correctly connected to head units with “speaker load detection” function that monitors the presence of a low-impedance load to enable the audio outputs.

Bluetooth 5.0 - Upload a setup file via BT through the Bluetooth 5.0* APP when in “Configurator” or “DRC” mode. *Music streaming not supported.

App Control - Configurable with a PC a Mac an Android device or an iOS device. iOS/ Android control APPs (Bluetooth 5.0) DRC control over app from iOS/Android devices.

Ultra Compact - Compact size featuring all connections on one side to be installed anywhere.

Conformal Coating PCB - S8 DSP features a sturdy enclosure with an anti-corrosion-treated PCB to ensure years of listening pleasure in open nature.
