Use the PC tuning interface to set time alignment for each driver position and apply EQ correction for your vehicle's acoustic response. The DSP4086 pairs naturally with JBL Stadium Series component speakers and any JBL Club or Stadium Series subwoofer. For motorcycle installs, the conformal-coated PCB and compact chassis make this one of the most capable amplifiers available for fairing or under-seat mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJBL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDSP4086\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmplifier Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass-D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Output (4Ω)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40W RMS x8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Output (2Ω)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60W RMS x8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeak Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,000W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHD+N\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt;1%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10Hz – 22kHz (√3dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt;90dB @ 4Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEQ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31-Band Graphic or Parametric (Selectable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTime Alignment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes (PC Tunable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eActive Crossovers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes (PC Tunable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSub Level Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-30dB to +6dB (Wired Remote)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8V – 16V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuse Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePCB Coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConformal (Moisture\/Vibration Resistant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do I need a separate DSP processor with the DSP4086?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No — the DSP4086 has a fully integrated DSP with 31-band EQ, time alignment, and active crossovers built in.
