The PS8-Pro stand-alone design allows users to adapt this breathtaking DSP technology into most any aftermarket or OEM integrate system with a compact, yet powerful package that is compatible with signals ranging from .5V to 32Vrms via RCA or speaker level connections.

Just as with the PS8 the power of tuning has been left in the hands of the installer and user without the intervention of engineered auto-processing leaving you with only 80% of your systems capability. Featuring 248-bands of Third Octave -or- Parametric equalization with adjustments up to +20dB/-24dB per band in 1/10thdB increments by either individual band/global/mix adjustments, Output signal delay up to 30ms per channel, output phase 0/180 degrees per channel, Input and Advanced output signal mixers, output trim controls and one of the most extensive selections of crossover damping types and mixed slops available of any processor in the 12V market.

Need more? Integrating into your OEM system? No problem!

All of the new Pro series DSP models come MAESTRO AR compatible! With the Maestro AR interface module, Maestro T-Harness, and a data cable the AR module allows for an easy plug and play interface to a wide variety of currently OEM amplified vehicles while retaining all of your vehicle’s OEM controls and features. The PS8 Pro is also equipped with the latest in signal sensing technology capable of detecting DC or Signal based signals and with a plethora of customized signal and timing controls the PS8-Pro makes integrating into your vehicles existing audio system a snap!
