MATCH UP 8DSP With MEC ANALOG IN - 8 Channel PnP DSP Amplifier | 8 High-Level Inputs

The powerhouse for simple OEM integrations

The new UP 8DSP is a true all-rounder that not only delivers unbridled power and dynamics for true hi-fi sound, but at the same time comes with all the prerequisites for easy integration into the vehicle.

Seamless connectivity

With its six high-level inputs, an optical digital input, the MATCH Extension Card slot and many intelligent technologies, such as the proprietary ADEP.3 circuit, the UP 8DSP is perfectly equipped for seamless adaptation to existing multi-channel sound systems.
Furthermore, with a total of eight amplifier channels as well as the additional line output – in combination with the powerful 9-channel DSP – individual speaker configurations can also be realized.
Two amplifier output channels deliver 160 Watts RMS into 2 Ohms – plenty enough for fuelling even large subwoofers.

Virtual Channel Processing – this is how signal routing works today

The optimal adaptation to existing multi-channel sound systems requires sensible management and configuration of the many DSP channels – so it was no question that the UP 8DSP is also equipped with Audiotec Fischer's innovative virtual channel processing.
Especially when front, rear and center systems are split into multi-way systems, conventional routing concepts quickly reach their limits, both in terms of implementation and usability. The multi-stage "Virtual Channel Processing", in conjunction with the recognized user-friendly DSP PC-Tool software makes it easy to map even highly complex system configurations and to freely assign our proprietary FX sound features. Additionally, thanks to its generous number of channels in combination with the optional MEC ANALOG IN module the UP 8DSP is also a prime example for applications where 1 to 1 routing (IOR) makes sense.

ACO – Advanced 32 Bit CoProcessor Plattform

Of course, the UP 8DSP is equipped with our proprietary 32 Bit ACO platform, which doesn’t just take over all control tasks ultra-fast, but also handles a bunch of audio functions: fantastic sound effects such as Augmented Bass Processing or Real Center are implemented as well as a channel-separated Input EQ including Input Signal Analyzer (ISA) for easy analysis and compensation of input signals of OE radios, which already include a sound setup by default.

Compact dimensions

Despite its wide feature set and beefy output power of 6 x 65 Watts at 4 Ohms plus 2 x 90 / 160 Watts at 4 / 2 Ohms, the UP 8DSP comes – as usual for a MATCH amplifier – in a very compact design, so that it can be installed even in confined spaces without any problems.

DSP PC-Tool 5 feat. TuneEQ – Powerful features for the ultimate sound experience

Of course, the MATCH UP 8DSP can be easily configured via our new, professional and exceptionally intuitive DSP PC-Tool 5. The familiar, numerous setting options leave nothing to be desired and guarantee an extremely precise sound adjustment even for complex system configurations. And thanks to the new, proprietary TuneEQ function for automated frequency response correction, you also save a lot of time when optimizing your sound.

TuneEQ

TuneEQ is an extremely flexible and particularly easy-to-use function for automated frequency response correction. A single measurement per audio channel or channel pair with a suitable measurement microphone (e.g. our MTK1) is sufficient for TuneEQ to independently and precisely adjust the equalizers to the desired reference curve. TuneEQ uses the full function set of the parametric equalizer including center frequency, Q-factor and gain adjustment. And since the highly complex arithmetic operations required for this run in the background, you also save a lot of time when optimizing your sound with TuneEQ.

RealCenter

The “RealCenter” feature is an algorithm, developed by Audiotec Fischer, that emphasizes the music information which is present in both the left and right front channel to create an unique center signal. In contrast to common procedures, in which only the channels are summed up, the intensity of the center signal is also dynamically controlled by the stereophonic informational content of the left and right channel.

Sounds complicated but this effect is astonishing: That means if solely the left or right channel delivers an audio signal, the center channel will not reproduce a signal. In the case of common algorithms, the volume level of the center channel is only reduced by 6 dB (= half volume level). Audiotec Fischer’s “RealCenter” allows a unique, broadened sound staging for both driver and co-driver at the same time! Therefore, the disadvantages of a conventional center channel, such as an intrusive, small sound stage, are things of the past.

Augmented Bass Processing

Audiotec Fischer’s proprietary “Augmented Bass Processing”, consisting of the two revolutionary sound features “Dynamic Bass Enhancement” and “SubXpander”, has been especially developed to dramatically improve the bass reproduction of subwoofers.

The “Dynamic Bass Enhancement” ingeniously combines maximum deep bass and highest sound pressure – regardless of the music style or the tone controls in the head unit. Depending on the input signal, the “Dynamic Bass Enhancement” gains the lower frequency range and varies the cut-off frequency of the subsonic filter. The result is a significantly more powerful and deeper bass response at low and medium volume levels without the risk of overloading the subwoofer neither mechanically nor electrically at high volume levels. It is simply fascinating which bass performance is suddenly possible.

If you want an even lower and “darker” bass reproduction, the “SubXpander” can be additionally activated. Therefore, subharmonic tones are added to the fundamental tones in the frequency range between 50 and 100 Hz.
