Scottish Hi-Fi Brand Launches Innovative Digital Signal Processor
Colinear Acoustics, a newly formed Scottish hi-fi brand, has entered the market with a bang by launching the DSP-8C Founders Edition. This digital signal processor and pre-amp is designed for professional and audiophile speaker optimization and room correction, promising to redefine the DSP demands of both domestic and professional environments.
The DSP-8C, priced at around €1,150 / $1,340 / AU$2,050, is the first product from Colinear Acoustics, a company formed in 2024 with the mission to offer high-end, yet affordable, digital audio solutions.
At its heart, the DSP-8C boasts an eight-channel ES9039SPRO DAC and an output stage based around an optimised OPA1612. The device is controlled by a 1GHz SHARC+ processor with built-in IIR and FIR accelerators, ensuring unrivaled DSP performance.
The internal sampling rate of the DSP-8C can be set to either 96 kHz or 192 kHz. The device offers advanced room correction, multi-way active crossovers, and speaker/driver alignment in both frequency and time domains. It comes equipped with coaxial and optical inputs and outputs, and eight analogue XLR outputs.
The parameters of the DSP-8C can be accessed and controlled via the DSPconfig app, which is multi-platform across Windows, macOS, and Linux. This makes it easy for users to customize the device to their specific needs.
While high-end hi-fi brands are primarily located in Denmark, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and across Europe, Colinear Acoustics is adding a new voice to this global industry from its base in Fort William, Scotland. The brand is committed to pioneering the latest innovations and technologies in digital audio solutions.
