Product Concept

miniDSP 101

Our product concept is to provide a wide range of easy to use Digital Signal Processors(DSP). @ miniDSP, we believe in product flexibility, simplicity and re-usability. From some system tuning to advanced custom filters, it's all here for you. Thanks to our hardware + software solution, miniDSP greatly simplifies what used to require experience or extensive knowledge.

Key facts:

• A Hardware platform handles the processing. It is the brain of the system.
• A plug-in is the software user interface required to control a miniDSP platform from a PC/Mac environment. You must purchase at least one plug-in to operate your system.
• Once configured, the hardware platfrom does not require a computer anymore as all settings are stored in memory and automatically reloaded at bootup.
• Finally, miniDSP kits are DIY/OEM friendly. From a signal processor with I2S input/output, a digital crossover or a simple equalizer, miniDSP gives you "carte blanche" to implement your design ideas.

Customization is King

At miniDSP, we understand how each system is unique and ever changing. Using the concept of plug-ins and I/O cards, one can easily customize his solution for his specific needs. What used to be a crossover, may turn into an audio switcher with a simple I/O card + plug-in change. A unique feature that greatly differentiates our platforms from so called "fixed" architecture, fixed I/O DSP platforms.

• miniDIGI: An SPDIF/Optical interface fitted with a Sample Rate Converter (SRC) to process any digital audio sources
• miniAMP: A fully digital amplifier solution for active speaker configurations
• And free plug-in upgrades to make sure your system evolves as our development team refines new features
