This DSP is a good product, but it has a serious gap about the Windows SW user guide. The general user guide shows the meaning of the screen choices but there is not any operating guide related how to equalize both left channel and right channel in a different way. I suggest to Dayton to improve the user documentation adding some operating examples.

I tested this on my 3-way DIY active speakers to act as a crossover and EQ. The software is good and easy to dial in the filters while measuring with REW. The downside is it is quite noisy, adding quite a bit of audible hiss. It was less noticeable on my smaller speakers with passive crossover networks which helped to filter it out but I won't be using it as a DSP solution for my active speakers. I even tried a high quality linear power supply ...

Die Ware wurde schnell geliefert. Leider liegt kein deutsches Manual bei und es bedarf einiges an mehr Zeit, den DSP 408 einzustellen. Ansonsten sehr gutes Gerät!

For the price it is actually a 5 star product, but it could easy be made better. I use this filter for a 3 way horn system, LCR in a hometheater, with 8 outputs i am almost there. Bugs: It looses the USB connection to a windows PC, replug it and you are good to go. More serously, if you set the high pass filter to defeat, there is still a filter function present, so set the filter function to 6dB/octave, and then Defeat for best case scen...

For 180 EUR it is hard to beat! Is it perfect? No, not by any means... The iOS app is more or less useless on an iPhone SE so if you don't have the need to switch streaming on/off or setting different profiles, there is no point buying the Bluetooth dongle. I need to set different profiles for driving alone and for having kids back in the car so that is what I will use it for. The Windows app is OK, but it would have been nice to see ...

This DSP has a good amount of options, pretty much everything you could need for a complete car install or stereo home system. The build quality is also good. The bluetooth accessory is worth it, makes it easier to tune, especially in car. I would give it 5 stars, but the reason I'm knocking off a star I installed this in my car, and it had sent so much alternator whine through my speakers it was crazy. So if you have the same problem, what you h...

Das Gerät funktioniert einwandfrei. Es gibt einem viele Möglichkeiten Boxen im Heimbereich aktiv zu nutzen.Der Netzteiladapter ist leider Schrott.Und der Bluetooth-Adapter ist im Verhältnis zum Gerät viel zu teuer.

my uk based company Stylz Kustom has purchased many of these processors for a multitude of different types of car audio projects,and for a budget processor it punches way above its pricetag! the software is very easy to use,i would recommend using a laptop for the initial set up as its only 2 pages,the very handy app for phone or tablet "tweaking" after is a big selling point,along with the dual master bluetooth. Overall its a good solution for...

After experimenting with modifying analog loudspeaker filters in my high end speakers using expensive capacitors and coils, this DSP came as a beautiful surprise. No matter how good the components in your filter, the DSP simply sounds better. Much better. The old analog speaker filter was the bottleneck, at least in my system (Rotel RSP-1098, Rotel RMB-1095, Rotel RB-1090, Vandamme 55 low cap interlinks, Supra Ply 3.4s, tuned Marantz NA-8005 medi...

Sehr empfehlenswerter Soundprozessor. Von der Haptik bis hin zur PC-Software als auch APP. Programmierung sehr einfach und intuitiv. Kleines erstes Setup aus Zuspieler, Verstärker und Lautsprecher aufgebaut. Software und APP auf Samsung Tablet installiert. Und los ging's mit der einfachen Bedienung. Klang des DSPs ist TOP! Sehr erfreulich, der DSP ist absolut rauschfrei. In den kommenden Tagen baue ich den DSP in meinen PKW ein und Berichte da...
