Harmony DSP 8x12

miniDSP is proud to introduce the latest addition to its line of innovative car audio processors. The all-digital Harmony DSP 8×12 integrated DSP/amplifier features six-channels digital audio input via USB, stereo digital optical input (TOSLINK), Dirac Live® acoustic correction and 12 output channels.

Hardware features dedicated to the vehicle environment include an on-board isolated power supply, remote trigger input/output, and a wired remote with OLED display for dash or console. Flexible output configurations cater to a wide variety of system configurations: each output can be a 40 Wrms power amplifier or a line-level output for driving external amplifiers. In addition, each pair of outputs can be configured in parallel BTL mode for 80 W output into 2 Ω loads.

In addition to Dirac Live, the Harmony DSP 8×12 includes miniDSP’s powerful, easy-to-use audio processing: parametric EQ, compressors, adjustable time delay, crossovers up to 48 dB/octave, and an advanced matrix mixer with rear/center capability. Four complete processing configurations are stored in flash memory for recall with a wired or infrared remote.
