Product Overview
Shape a multi-amplifier car audio system with the DS18 DSP4.8BTM, a 4-channel-in, 8-channel-out digital sound processor. Bluetooth app control, channel-by-channel tuning, and flexible signal routing give you detailed control over how your system is balanced.
Adjust the sound from a mobile device, then save up to three configurations for quick recall. The eight processed outputs let you tune channels individually for a more tailored system setup.
Key Features & Benefits
- Bluetooth app control: Access tuning settings and manage presets through the DS18 DSP4.8BTM app, available on the App Store and Google Play.
- Eight parametric EQ bands per channel: Adjust targeted frequency regions to shape each output to your system.
- Selectable crossover filters: Choose Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley, or Bessel filter types and match the slope to your tuning goals.
- Flexible signal routing: Route inputs A, B, C, or D, or use the listed input combinations to suit different signal paths.
- Time alignment: Set delay by time or distance to help coordinate speaker arrival in the listening area.
- Three memory settings: Save preferred configurations for quick changes between setups.

Why Choose This Product?
The DSP4.8BTM gives you eight separately processed outputs from four inputs, making it a central tuning point for a multi-amplifier build. Its EQ, crossover, routing, and time-alignment controls let you shape the system around your chosen signal path and speaker setup.
With 96 kHz sampling, 32-bit processing, and signal latency below 0.6 ms, it provides detailed digital processing for custom car audio installations.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Plan your source and amplifier connections around the processor’s four RCA inputs and eight RCA outputs. Confirm that your system’s signal levels and installation space suit the stated input and output limits and the 5.6" × 4.25" × 1.6" dimensions.
The unit uses a 10–15 V DC power supply and has a maximum current draw of 300 mA. Check your system layout and power requirements before installation.
