The overall power of the C-

DSP 8x12 DL comes not only from its comprehensive I/O but it’s merge of Dirac Live

processing with miniDSP’s powerful audio processing.

4.1

SER INTERFACE

This screenshot shows the

C-DSP 8x12 DL

plugin with the key areas highlighted:

During

initial

configuration of the processor, it is strongly recommended that any connected

amplification be muted or powered off.

We recommend that you do a “straight

through” Dirac Live calibration before attempting more

advanced configuration with the plugin. This way you can become familiar with Dirac Live
calibration and learn how the calibration algorithms work in your vehicle.
