DSP-Z8
Digital Signal Processor Compatible with Network Opperation
The Zapco DSP-Z8
is a stand-alone, eight channel Digital Signal Processor. It has all the DSP functions of
the Reference Digital amps, and, like the DC Series amps, the DSP-Z8 is compatible with the Digital
Programing Network which allows a single PC screen to control all amps on the network. We will explain
more in the next section
The RCA inputs allow you to use the DSP-Z8 with any after market head unit, and two auxiliary inputs
allow an extra source by either RCA or SPDIF Digital. The DSP-Z8 and all Zapco DC Series amplifiers will
also accept balanced speaker level signals from a factory amplified system to add high-end sound to
factory stereos.
The Zapco Digital functions include Input Sensitivity (Gain), Output , Crossover, Parametric Equalization,
and Time Delay. Each Reference Digital piece also has an Input Commutator, which allows you to chose
which input channels will be used for which processed output channels. The Commutator also allows
input pairs to be summed for a 2-channel mono input to any output channel. In addition, you can
combine input channel pairs together to sum their signals into a single full range signal pair
, for integrating actively crossed over signals from a factory stereo system.
DSP Control Method
Zapco DSP units are controlled by PC. The Zapco DPN program provides the system for control of the
Zapco Digital functions. You load the program included with your digital product onto a PC and
program all functions directly from the single, easy to use, screen.
