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.

as the title says when you have it hooked up and playing music when you connect to it using the app it will shut off audio from the wired connection and also disable the remote knob if using it, the sound quality is ok i think the noise floor is decent for its price but i want to hear the audio I'm playing while i adjust the settings...
