The new multi-tool for professionals
The small addition in the product name makes
the big difference – the V EIGHT DSP MK2 is the logical evolution of its
already more than impressive predecessor. Same look as before but in the
inside Audiotec Fischer brought in all of his expertise and substantially
optimized the hardware. The result is an 8-channel amplifier with ten
processed DSP channels that is unrivalled in many ways.
Extra speed – thanks to ACO
Faster is better – the particularly powerful 32 Bit ACO platform takes over
all control tasks and ensures the decisive speed increase, especially for
data communication with our DSP PC-Tool software but also for the
lightning-fast switching between up to ten sound setups. But ACO offers
much more – fantastic sound effects such as Augmented Bass Processing or
RealCenter are implemented as well as a channel-separated Input EQ including
the Input Signal Analyzer (ISA) for easy analysis and compensation of input
signals of OE radios.
New signal converters for optimized sound quality
Instead of a combined codec, the new V EIGHT
DSP MK2 uses separate AD and DA converters of the latest generation from
Asahi Kasei with a native resolution of 32 Bit. This ensures maximum signal
resolution in the entire signal path from input to output – and thus also
guarantees optimal sound quality.
Virtual Channel Processing – that/s how signal routing works today
The adaptation to modern OE sound systems via an increasing number of inputs
has a significant impact on the complexity of the signal routing inside the
amplifier. Especially when several input signals are mixed together and then
split again into multi-way systems, conventional routing concepts quickly
reach their limits, both in terms of implementation and usability. Audiotec
Fischer's new multi-stage "Virtual Channel Processing", in conjunction with
the recognized user-friendly DSP PC-Tool software makes it easy to realize
even highly complex system configurations. Besides, it allows to freely
assign our proprietary FX sound features such as "RealCenter" or "Augmented
Bass Processing".
Maximum connectivity
More and more cars are equipped with factory-provided sound systems. Most
of them contain a multi-channel amplifier that cannot be replaced by another
amplifier. The adaptation to such a configuration not only requires a lot of
input channels but also a particularly wide adjustment range for the input
sensitivity. Therefore, the V EIGHT DSP MK2 offers both six RCA / Cinch
inputs and eight highlevel inputs with a maximum input voltage from 4 V to
32 V.
In addition the V EIGHT DSP is of course also equipped with the latest
generation ADEP.3 circuit.
Power pack in a noble design
Despite its further increased feature set and
up to 160 Watts RMS output power per channel (@ 2 Ohms) the V EIGHT DSP MK2
presents itself in the classic, clean HELIX design which provides ideal
preconditions for a quick and easy integration.
High-tech performance could hardly be more noble and elegant!
