S8 DSP



The ultra-compact S8 DSP is the perfect solution for integrating any OEM source into your 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 channelsone digital coaxial inputand 8 output channels, offering maximum freedom of configuration to the specialist. The SPDIF coaxial input is ideal for digital connection with a Hi-Res playera 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.

DSP management by bt app (iOS/ Android) 1. CONFIGURATOR mode Mainly it’ll allow the DSP tuning. You can manage every DSP functon through your smartphone/ tablet/PC/MAC. 2. DRC mode The BT device becomes a remote control by using the dedicated app with a simple graphical user interface. Manage volume level, SUB level, select different setup files, upload a new setup file.
Setup file sharing via bt Upload a setup file via BT through the BT APP when in “Configurator” or “DRC” mode.
DSP management by pc / mac / ios / android Microsoft Windows (32/64 bit): Windows 10 (USB and BT BLE) Windows 11 (USB and BT BLE) Mac Os: 10.13 Hight Sierra or later (USB and BT BLE)
