Product Overview
Add adjustable bass shaping between your source and amplifiers with the DS18 DBPX200 Digital Bass Processor. It accepts two channels of high-level speaker input or a balanced line-level signal, and includes speaker emulation for OEM integration.
A dash-mount dual-knob remote lets you adjust bass and level while the processor’s LEDs indicate power, bass enhancer, and clipping status.
Key Features & Benefits
- Two-channel high-level input: Connect factory speaker signals for OEM integration without swapping head units.
- Balanced line-level input: Provides a noise-resistant signal path from a source unit.
- Selectable output voltage: Choose among three output levels to suit the connected amplifier’s input requirements.
- Adjustable bass shaping: Set the center frequency, Q, and gain to tailor the bass response.
- Selectable infrasonic filter: Use the 50Hz setting to suppress ultra-low frequencies, or switch the filter off.
- Remote and LED indicators: Adjust levels from the dash and check the processor’s status at a glance.

Why Choose This Product?
The DBPX200 combines signal conversion, bass adjustment, and speaker emulation in one compact processor. Its high-level inputs support factory-system integration, while selectable output voltage helps you match the processor’s signal to downstream amplifiers.
Adjustable center frequency and Q let you shape where and how the bass boost is applied. The selectable infrasonic filter provides an option for reducing ultra-low frequencies in a car audio system.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
The DBPX200 is designed to sit between the source and amplifiers. It accepts two channels of high-level speaker input or a balanced line-level signal, and operates on 9–16V.
Before installation, check that your source signal, amplifier input, available mounting space, power connection, and fuse arrangement suit the listed requirements. The unit measures 6" × 3.7" × 1.1".
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the DBPX200 connect to a factory audio system?
Its two-channel high-level input accepts factory speaker signals for OEM integration without replacing the head unit.
How do I adjust the bass?
Use the dual-knob dash-mount remote for bass and level adjustments. The processor also provides center-frequency, Q, and gain controls.
What does the infrasonic filter do?
The selectable filter can suppress ultra-low frequencies. Choose Off or 50Hz.
What should I check before connecting an amplifier?
Compare the amplifier’s input requirements with the processor’s selectable 5V, 7.5V, or 10V output, and confirm the system’s signal and power requirements.
