Installed this in my car using the 12v power wire and ground. Works well, the software is straight forward and easy to use. I have not purchased the Bluetooth adapter, Only complaint is the noise it produces, a hum is audible as soon as the unit is powered on. I have tried changing power and ground locations but nothing will fix it. After a bit of research online, it seems like these units are hit or miss for the hum. I guess I was unlucky and got a bad one. The hum is not terrible, but can be annoying at low volume.

This dsp took my system to a whole new level of clarity. My head unit has some dsp function but this took it to a whole new level. App functions well with the bt dongle lil slow changing between presets but makes tuning alot easier.

This an amazing product especially at the price-point. I'm using it in a home-stereo application and it is dead silent. Having the flexibility to individually configure highpass/lowpass/bandpass filters, eq curves, and delays for each of the eight output channels may be overkill but allows almost endless experimenting. I'll be receiving a calibrated microphone and will be using that along with REW software to check/correct room response. I've set up filters and delays by ear but I'm very impressed so far. I found the software easy to use and very intuitive.

I took care to avoid ground loops in my car audio installation. I used this with a Dayton DAC and some attenuators for physical volume knobs for USB audio input with a tablet. The Bluetooth streaming also sounds good. My biggest complaint is it takes WAY too long to switch presets (via Bluetooth from Android app) and cuts audio while it does it. The good news is, with 8 channel tuning with an added main and sub volume knob, I hardly ever want to change it from my main setting. For the price point I am plenty satisfied. I will update my review if my opinion changes

Easy setup with PC and finally got the speakers to stop burning up because of the drivers getting the wrong frequency. But I added the Bluetooth a week later and it can stream directly from my phone and is very clear now. The delay makes it sound like a home stereo in a much larger space

I bought this DSP because of the 4 inputs and the RTA capabilities. It turns out you have to use a 3 party app for the RTA, but no big deal. The sound quality is excellent, yes there is a very slight bit of electrical noise off the alternator, but I was able to minimize it with the EQ to nearly inaudible. It's easy to use, sounds great, and the price can't be beat. My biggest regret is not having one sooner!

If your going to use it in your car be sure to use the AC plug. Yes you may have to buy an inverter.Otherwise it will squeal. Plenty of online searches led me to this and after I switched it now works fine.

Great product for the money. A real inexpensive way to add a good dsp to your sound system. However it did add humming from the engine. I fixed the problem with a couple GLIs works like a charm. Very satisfied with my build. Feel free to try this dsp.

Purchased this because of the features to better incorporate my mismatched 4 home theater subwoofers. It offers incredible flexability.For my set up I have a pair of Klipsch 15s, A Sundown 15 in a custom enclosure with a Dayton SPA 1000, and a Sundown XV3 18 with another Dayton SPA 1000 in another custom enclosure. The DSP allowed me to adjust for gaps, sensitivity differences, and frequency rolloff for all woofers from the same source signal. The ability to have input matching alone is worth the price, the parametric EQ is extremely well thought out, and the output levels being either linked or individual is an incredible advantage for room correction. When I needed some support, Dayton answered the phone within 2 minutes and a tech helped me get it set up how I wanted it to work. He stayed on the phone until it was tweaked to purfection. Nice to actually be helped by someone who wants to help instead of checking things off on some evaluation form. The warranty is awesome as well.
