Clarion DTX480E 4-Channel 200W Amplifier with 8-Channel DSP

The Clarion DTX480E brings together powerful tuning flexibility and compact design in an 8-channel DSP amplifier built for modern car audio systems. With multiple input options including high-level, AUX, USB-A, optical, and coaxial, it integrates easily into both factory and aftermarket setups. The amplifier delivers up to 50W peak per channel (CH1-4), making it a strong fit for improving sound quality without overhauling your entire system.

Built around a Class A/B architecture, the DTX480E offers precise tuning through a 31-band equalizer, advanced crossover filters, and time alignment on each channel. You can customise your soundstage down to the smallest detail with individual phase, delay, and filter settings. Despite its compact size, it provides professional-grade audio control and performance, ideal for users who demand clarity, depth, and balance in their vehicle sound systems.
