The miniDSP 2x4 HD
Now that the FLEX series is available: The 2x4 HD is a good product for the price. If you want more, you should consider upgrading to a Flex or (ultimately) a device from the SHD series.
The miniDSP 2x4 HD
The miniDSP functions: parametric EQ, Butterworth and Linkwitz-Riley crossovers, advanced biquad programming, and delay on each output channel. miniDSP's concept "one hardware, multiple plug-ins" enables many interesting future applications.
The on-board 400 MHz Analog Devices SHARC processor allows significant performance enhancements that were previously only available in much more expensive devices, such as 96 kHz internal clocking for high-resolution audio and assignable FIR filter taps for more precise equalizing, crossover, and room correction applications.
I/O options are also upgraded, with the option of USB audio streaming up to 192 kHz and a TOSLINK digital input.
Application areas:
- DSP for active speakers
- DSP for room acoustics
- Preamplifier (in conjunction with a remote control)
- DSP for bass management
Features:
- 1x analog input, 1x TOSLINK, 1x USB audio
