HERTZ S8 DSP

The Hertz S8 DSP is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to fully realize the sound potential of their car audio system. Thanks to its compact design, the digital signal processor can be installed virtually anywhere in the vehicle and is suitable for cars, motorcycles, boats, and vans alike.

With 96 kHz / 24-bit high-resolution audio processing, the S8 DSP ensures exceptionally precise signal processing. The extensive customization options allow you to tailor time alignments, crossovers, and equalizers individually to each vehicle and the speakers being used. This results in a significantly more realistic soundstage, greater detail, and a more balanced sound.

Six analog inputs and one digital SPDIF input allow for flexible integration into factory-installed or retrofitted audio systems. The eight RCA outputs deliver a clean preamp signal to external power amplifiers. Configuration is easy via a Windows PC, Mac, or the Bluetooth app for Android and iOS.

Whether you're looking for a subtle sound upgrade or a sophisticated high-end system, the Hertz S8 DSP offers professional tuning options for maximum sound quality with minimal space requirements.
