ESX Direction D68SP - 6-channel digital signal processor

D68SP

The coming years at ESX will be dominated by sophisticated sound tuning. The two digital sound processors from the DIRECTION series mark the start of the new DSP (r)evolution at ESX. Finest selected components, optimally tuned and combined into an ingenious overall concept, perfectly adjustable down to the smallest detail with the newly developed PC software, will make sound enthusiasts respectfully click their tongues.

With the optional Bluetooth 5.0 upgrade set BT-D, the app version of the ESX DSP Toolkit can also be used live and in real time from a smartphone—HD audio streaming included. The LCD remote control RC-DQ, available as an accessory, offers additional ease of use.

Thanks to state-of-the-art analog/digital converters from AKM Velvet Sound™, the sound processing of the Analog Devices™ 32-bit/295 MHz DSP chips takes place in the Full HD audio range at 96 kHz. In addition to audiophile aspects, smooth integration into modern vehicles was also taken into account. EPS PRO protection circuitry and high-level inputs with automatic switch-on function (jumper-selectable from 1-15 V or 15-40 V) as well as balanced RCA/cinch low-level outputs with 6 V/RMS are included as standard.
