ESX VE900.7SP

With the newly designed VISION ELITE DSP amplifier VE1300.11SP, ESX has immediately conquered the throne of the absolute top class(test in Car&Hifi 1/2024). The 11-channel amplifier with 12-channel DSP continues to confidently set the standards in the category of DSP high-end multi-channel amplifiers. The European EISA AWARD winners ESX D68SP, QL812SP and the flagship QE812SP prove that this is no coincidence. For the third year in a row, ESX DSPs have won the "In-Car Sound Processors" category!

With the completely redesigned VE900.7SP presented here, ESX is presenting an interesting model variant at the same time as the 11-channel model: The compact offshoot of the flagship model, measuring just 250 x 50 x 150 mm, offers seven internally amplified channels in the same audio quality and also impresses with an award-winning 8-channel high-end DSP.

With a total of 900 watts RMS in its small housing, the VE900.7SP is a small marvel: 5 x 100 watts RMS at 4 ohms can drive speakers in the front and rear doors and a center speaker. BMW and Mercedes drivers will be delighted with the two powerful additional channels, which drive the subs under the seat and in the footwell with 200 watts RMS into 2 ohms each. If you are still lacking something in terms of low bass, you can connect another power amplifier via the sub output and integrate it into the DSP process.

A look inside also reveals only the very finest components: the EISA award-winning stand-alone DSP D68SP is used 1:1, which even comes with an integrated Bluetooth module in the VE900.7SP. With the 5558 and 4458 converters from Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) and the legendary ADAU1452 DSP core from Analog Devices, even more top-class high-end material is used on the digital level. The high-end chip operates at 295 MHz, 32-bit technology and 96 kHz sampling rate and even enables full HD audio. Thanks to the 6-channel high-level input with "EPS PRO", connection to the latest vehicles is also no problem. Even vehicles with fault diagnosis systems work perfectly as a result.

The VISION ELITE class comes with Bluetooth modules as standard. This not only makes music streaming possible, but also the complete control of the built-in DSP is child's play. Simply download the ESX DSP Toolkit app to a tablet or cell phone and off you go.
