MS-8
The JBL® MS-8 system integration digital processor is a giant leap forward in the pursuit of making upgrades to car audio systems easy. No longer does getting great sound in today’s cars have to be labour-intensive and complicated. This elegant, single-chassis solution, based on digital signal processing (DSP), tastefully integrates with both factory-installed and aftermarket audio systems. It provides both speaker and pre-amp level inputs (up to eight channels to mix and match). Its powerful, menu-driven configuration allows the sophisticated DSP to learn your vehicle’s audio-signal characteristics and acoustic response, and provide a fast and highly effective automated setup that includes Logic 7® audio processing. What’s more, it can analyse and save multiple listening positions. Once it completes making acoustic and signal corrections, it adds precision active crossovers, a 31-band (1/3-octave) equalizer and other user-accessible features for easy adjustment. The unit has its own onboard eight-channel power for connection directly to speakers or pre-amp level outputs to connect more powerful outboard amplifiers. What used to take professional-installation technicians hours of tuning and tweaking now occurs in a matter of minutes.
