It accepts high-level speaker signals, auxiliary low-level signals, and optical digital audio, giving installers multiple ways to build a clean signal path. Its eight low-level RCA outputs provide flexible routing for active front stages, rear channels, a center channel, and a subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis processor is intended for listeners and installers who want more control than a head unit or amplifier crossover can provide. It can address common vehicle-audio challenges such as factory equalization, filtered OEM speaker outputs, and unequal speaker distances from the listening position. Automatic de-equalization and channel summing functions support integration with many factory systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe H8 DSP is built around a 32-bit DSP processor with 24-bit A\/D and D\/A conversion. Each output channel has its own 31-band graphic equalizer, crossover settings, phase control, and time-alignment adjustment. This allows precise tuning of tonal balance, speaker handoff, and arrival time at the listening position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor system performance, the processor supports a maximum 4 V RMS output level at 0.1% THD and a frequency bandwidth of 10 Hz to 22 kHz. Its optical S\/PDIF input accepts PCM signals up to 96 kHz\/24-bit, helping preserve a digital signal path from a compatible source. The processor also provides separate signal-to-noise specifications for digital, master, and auxiliary inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe included DRC HE remote control provides access to everyday functions without connecting a computer. It can select master, auxiliary, or optical sources; switch between two saved tuning memories; and adjust volume, balance, fader, and subwoofer level. The H8DSPDRC is a signal-processing component and requires external amplifiers to power speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight RCA Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Routes processed low-level audio to up to eight amplifier channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree Input Types:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports high-level, auxiliary RCA, and optical S\/PDIF source connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e31-Band EQ Per Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides detailed tonal adjustment for each output channel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive Crossovers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assign full-range, high-pass, low-pass, or band-pass filtering per channel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTime Alignment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delays individual channels to help align speaker arrival times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDRC HE Remote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Controls source selection, memories, volume, balance, fader, and sub level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe H8 DSP uses a compact processor format measuring 7.51 inches wide, 1.33 inches high, and 4.76 inches deep. It weighs approximately 1.32 lb and uses a 20-pin multipolar connector for power, high-level inputs, and control wiring. Dedicated RCA output connections, an auxiliary RCA input, optical input, USB Type-B port, and DRC connection simplify system layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the processor in a dry, secure location with access for USB setup and future service. Use 16 AWG power wiring as specified by Hertz, connect the processor before downstream amplifiers in the remote-turn-on sequence, and configure tuning with a compatible Windows PC. The DRC HE can be installed within reach for source selection, memory recall, and daily level adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hertz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45631730909254,"sku":"H8DSPDRC","price":736.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/61gbbRonGuL.jpg?v=1784380705","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/hertz-h8dspdrc-8-channel-digital-signal-processor-with-drc-he","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
