About the Zapco DSP-Z8 IV AT
From our tech experts at CEN
A digital signal processor, 8 channel, for tuning a system to the vehicle rather than leaving it to fight the cabin.
Who it suits
Anyone serious about sound quality, and anyone keeping a factory head unit as the source.
Our tech experts advise
The hardware does nothing until it is tuned. Measurements in the car and delays set for where you sit are the work. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.
