The ZQ Series is built around Phoenix Gold's core values of premium, high-end audio technology. Gold-treated PCBs use a two-layer gold immersion treatment, and the terminals are 24K gold plated for superior connectivity. The dual power supply is fed by Nichicon (Japan) and Wima (Germany) capacitors, with shielded transformer cores manufactured in Germany. High-end polymer gain potentiometers aid amplification, and the dual-colour extrusion heatsink with heat transfer optimisation keeps temperatures in check under sustained use.
If you need an amplifier to pair with the ZQDSP12, the Phoenix Gold ZDA4.8 4-channel DSP amplifier is a compatible option from the same range.

About the Phoenix Gold ZQDSP12
From our tech experts at CEN
The Phoenix Gold ZQDSP12 is a 12-channel digital signal processor from the ZQ Series, not an amplifier. It takes 10 high-level and 2 low-level inputs, offers fully adjustable filters, EQ with adjustable Q and time correction, and streams music over Bluetooth 5.0. Signal to noise ratio is over 107 dB, with a 10 Hz to 22 kHz range.
Who it suits
Sound-quality builds running a fully active system, including cars keeping a factory head unit. It needs separate amplifiers for each output, for example the ZQ Series amplifiers or a ZDA8.8 where a DSP amplifier suits better.
Our tech experts advise
Tuning is done through a PC application, so allow time for measuring and setting crossovers, levels and time alignment in the car. The unit measures 236 x 200 x 56mm. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year.
