Product Introduction 

 
DEQ.8 is a Digital Audio Signal Processor (DSP) capable of performing a wide range of applications, from filtering, equalization to time 
alignment. Typically located between an audio source (CD player/Receiver/Preamp/PC .. etc) and the amplifier, a DSP will provide 

unparalleled tuning flexibility to improve your audio system’s performance. Using a PC/Mac machine and a USB connection, you will 
be  able  to  control  your  platform  from  the  “plug-in”:  an  intuitive  software  application  allowing  real  time  modification  to  your 
configuration.  

 

Besides its audio specs, a great part of our product concept lies in its simplicity of use. The sequence of steps required to control a 
DSP can be summarized as follow: 

Connect the board to your PC/Mac machine using a USB cable 

Launch the plug-in to configure settings as required.  

Click “Connect & Synchronize” your PC to the board  

Once synchronized, any change is real time and does not require any “Synchronization”. All settings are also automatically 
saved to both the DSP and the Flash for long term memory.  

Once happy with your configuration, you can disconnect the board from your computer since from this point on, the audio 
configuration will run as last modified in on-line mode and recalled following every reboot.  

Enjoy!
