CONCEPT
The miniDSP concept is “one hardware unit + one software plugin = audio processing solution.” This concept
leverages the inherent flexibility of DSP (digital signal processing) to deliver a range of flexible but cost-effective
solutions.
Hardware unit
In this case, the hardware unit is the miniDSP C-DSP 8x12.
Software plugin
The software plugin is installed on your PC or Mac, and determines the processing that the DSP will
perform. It provides a friendly user interface, and downloads instructions into the miniDSP hardware
unit that tell it how to process the audio signal. Currently, the C-DSP 8x12 supports a single plugin (see
below).
Other platforms
miniDSP makes many other boxed and kit hardware units with analog, stereo digital, and multichannel
digital (HDMI) connections. Some units feature inbuilt Class D amplification. See the
