The benefit of having high voltage output on car amplifiers for RCA connections primarily revolves around improved noise rejection and reduced stress on the amplifier. High voltage preamp outputs allow for a reduction in the gain required by the amplifier, which in turn reduces the potential for noise in the system. This is because a higher input voltage to the amplifier means that the amplifier does not have to work as hard to amplify the signal to the desired level, leading to less distortion and a clearer sound

Having high RCA voltage is very important if you want to keep the gain down on your amplifiers to avoid a high noise floor. Alot of amps with poor signal to noise (manufacturers LOVE to lie about the s/n numbers) need the gain down low or you will hear noise. 4 or 5v is plenty. I've owned DSPS with 2v all the way up to 8v RMS on a helix DSP ultra and i can say that if you have a solid 4v or higher it is sufficient for the vast majority of applications.

If you drive all the dsp channels will the 5 Volt clip go down to the 3.5 Volt advertised? I wonder how much the small power supply in those dsps can handle in real world applications.

[@ronmerkus5941]

That's cheap for that DSP with that hot of a signal because you are right. Most DSP is giving a low voltage signal, which is nothing wrong with . But once you have that listening experience of that pure clean signal at a higher voltage, you are like DAMN !!!

I have a Bronco w/non BO system, and I'm thinking of switching from the kicker key 200 dsp to this dsp ..plus upgrading the fronts to a 3 way setup.

Good timing. Been looking for a DSP and definitely budget minded. I had been looking at the Dayton Audio DSP408 but it had mixed reviews and is twice as much as this one (after buying the bluetooth adapter that it does not include) in the review. Does this accept speaker level inputs? I hear that a dedicated LOC is best even with the ones that do but its still a nice feature. May have to order one today

[@HiFiVector]

Yea I would use a standalone low level converter they are cheap nowadays. Sadly the Dayton was one I tested and when I eventually tested it it was totally dirty on the signal and I could not get it clean…didn’t even get .5 volts out of it clean. Maybe I got a bad one who knows. But this is a good one for sure.

[@HiFiVector]

Subsonic filter Is just a low frequency cutoff which is same as going into the crossover and let’s say it’s for a subwoofer… so you want to hear from 20hz to 80hz you just set your crossover setting to start at 20hz and end at 80 hz. That will be in the crossover settings on the DSP. It will output all frequencies in between those two numbers. And for tweeters let say 5. Start and 20,000 end etc….

Yes. I just switched & it sounds better, it has balanced inputs so ZERO noise! The dayton has pitiful input sensitivity, this one can take a full 4+ volts & has much higher output voltage, so you need less gain on the amps. It has a master input gain & input EQ, the dayton does not. I like the time alignment settings better on this one. It has a few quirks. You have to make sure to save any changes because it won't auto save like the dayton. Also, you can't label the channels or presets, or at least I haven't figured it out yet. And you have to connect to it manually each time. So far I like it better & I think it sounds better.

How do you save on this dsp? I thought it auto saved but I keep losing my settings.

[@r.d.1056]

@@bigr659 it does not auto save. Save manually and double ckeck.

I can't find the app android link is not working for me.

The app is called “ Airplus” see if you can find it in search. It will say Airplus utilities.

I use an audio control active LOC for that.

[@kushfabreakfast8246]

Anybody here that can help me tune my dsp. Just ordered this one and gonna be installing soon. But this is my first time using a dsp so I’m kinda clueless.

[@HiFiVector]

It’s a lot of info but you can check out my in depth DSP settings video it may help a little.

$ 100.12 ??

[@bigkevin20]

Why did he just raise the price!?

[@HiFiVector]

I think it was on sale for almost 3 weeks prior to the video and the sale ended. I did this review on my own so it was just the timing I guess.

[@bigkevin20]

@@HiFiVector you posted the video and it was 112. 106 with your code I had it in my checkout 2 hours after your post went live. Did not have my cc on me. 8 hours later it's 129. no big deal just saying. I got it from him on ebay for 112. Unless that price just rose also. The only thing it looks like it is missing is remote out control like the Expert Line.

[@k20turbokid65]

Yup. Price increase on his website and on Ebay as well. Guess I'll wait until another sale comes around 🤷

[@HiFiVector]

Yea honestly not sure guys about the prices I have idea what the deal is.

If someone can help me that witless be great. I'm getting this dsp and I need to know if I should run thus before my ds18 keq30 or the other way around?

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

You run this before an amplifier if that's what your asking

[@brianbozarth3369]

@Mr.Thermistor7228 yeah, but if I'm running an eq should it be dsp,eq,amp or eq,dsp,amp? I'm thinking it's dsp then my eq then to the amp.

[@HiFiVector]

This is an eQ so I would not run another eQ in your system. This will do all and more than a regular eQ.
