The Zapco DSP-IV AT Series
Congratulations on your purchase of this new Zapco product. It has been designed and
built to give you many years of reliable, industry leading performance and true audiophile
level sound quality.
Zapco introduced the world to full function in-car digital processing in 2004 with the
Zapco DSP-6 and the Zapco Digital Processing Network. This was the first full function
DSP for the car and included a full line of amplifiers with full function digital processing
build right in. In 2016 we brought out our fourth generation of processing in the Zapco
DSP-Z8 IV. The Z8 IV was a mid-priced unit designed to bring audiophile processing in
an affordable package, and it did just that. The Zapco DSP-Z8IV met rave reviews, out
performing DSPs costing twice as much, with a straightforward, easy to navigate interface
so tuning would be a breeze, and an analog signal to noise of -106dB (-110dB Digital).
The new DSP-Z8 IV AT series processing takes the IV to a whole new level of performance
and convenience. Sonically, the DSP-Z8 IV AT has all the qualities of the original IV with
an even lower noise floor, upgrades to the PC interface to help in system setup and offer
more system design possibilities, even automatic calibration (Autotune) for Equalization,
Signal Delay, and Phase, so your first tune can take minutes instead of hours... or even
days. Just a click on the PC interface and the system tunes itself. All you’ll need is the
optional calibration microphone.
In addition, for all those who need everything in a compact package, the DSP-IV AT series
brings all this great processing to the ADSP-Z8 IV-6AT, a six-channel full range Class D
amplifier with 80 Watts RMS per channel, at 4 ohms and provides a pair of processed
outputs for a bass amplifier. There is even a matching Class D amplifier with 1.000 watts
at 2 ohms available, the ADSP-Z8/16 IV-1A.
Reality Check
The automobile is a difficult environment for listening to music. There are reflective
surfaces that distort the sound, absorptive surfaces that impede it, and you are never in
the ideal listening position. The DSP-IV AT automatic calibration will compensate for the
shortfalls of the auto environment to help create the live listening experience. However,
the human ear is still the final word for sound.
