Thank you for purchasing a miniDSP
DDRC-88D
audio processor
powered by Dirac Live®, the world’s premier
room correction solution. We are delighted to offer you this software and hardware combination, the fruit of
extensive research and development and years of experience in sound system tuning.
The
DDRC-88D
is an 8-channel digital audio signal processor (DSP) running the Dirac Live® room correction
algorithm. The onboard floating-point SHARC processor provides time and frequency correction of 8 channels
with optional bass management and active crossover configurations. Inputs and outputs are digital (AES/EBU x
4), provided on a DB-25 connector. All output channels are sample-rate-converted to the same rate as the input
(channels 1 and 2) to preserve system sample rate integrity.
The
DDRC-88D
is a member of the miniDSP
Dirac Series
of audio processors. Deploying a
DDRC-88D
will:
•
Improve imaging and immersion
•
Improve clarity of music and dialog
•
Reduce listening fatigue
•
Remove resonances and room modes

YPICAL SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
In studio or sound reinforcement applications, the
DDRC-88D
is typically connected between a mixing console
and a multichannel DAC, as shown below. Each channel can be set for either full-range or subwoofer operation,
and active multi-way systems can also be implemented.
The DDRC-88D can also be used for multi-room/multi-zone correction with a stereo source. See the application
note on our website,
