DSP Series – The Multitool Of High Resolution Audio
Unlike the vehicles of last century, modern ones feature complex audio systems; often with channels aplenty. These channels are usually monitored by the vehicle's computer system, and many are also heavily processed. Hence when you start planning your audio upgrades you cannot just lob any old device in there. You're going to need components designed specifically for the task. An amplifier with plenty of channels both in and out, and with plenty of processing too. And because there's minimal spare real estate in many a modern vehicle, it'll need to be compact too. Luckily electronics maestro Goldhorn has already though of all this, as demonstrated by its superb range of digital sound processors.
