Thank you for choosing the miniDSP C-DSP 8x12 DL advanced in-car audio processor. The C-DSP 8x12 DL
features an onboard isolated power supply, two stereo digital inputs, 6 analog inputs, 12 analog outputs, a full
eight channels of Dirac Live
room correction and miniDSP’s
powerful audio processing on each output channel.
By use of the onboard matrix mixers, the C-DSP 8x12 DL is adaptable to many configurations, ranging from a
simple stereo correction and EQ system, through to integration of one or more subwoofers, through to a
complete active multichannel surround system. Low-noise analog circuitry driven by a 32-bit AKM convertor
ensures pristine audio quality in any vehicle environment.
Four complete processing configurations are stored on-board and can be selected from the wired remote or by
infrared remote control. An SD card slot supports offline configuration and firmware upgrade.

YPICAL USAGE
The C-DSP 8x12 DL typically connects to a head unit with up to six outputs. Figure 1 illustrates a straightforward
installation, with four channels supplied by the head unit and four speakers being driven by a power amplifier.
The included miniDSP UMIK-1 is used to perform Dirac Live calibration.
