miniDSP miniDSP SHD
US
|
£958.53 ≈ | — | — | — | — | — | Dirac Live |
|
The miniDSP SHD is a DSP-based network streamer and audio processor that includes stereo (two-channel) Dirac Live room correction. It combines Roon Ready streaming with Volumio, and provides extensive connectivity (digital and analog inputs plus USB audio) and four DSP-controlled outputs. It also includes DSP audio tuning tools such as parametric EQ, crossovers, and a matrix mixer for speaker/subwoofer integration. ★ Ideal forYes-its built-in Dirac Live stereo room correction and DSP toolbox (including crossovers and a 2x4 matrix mixer) let you calibrate portable studio monitor setups without adding a separate room-correction computer, as long as you have the Dirac-compatible measurement microphone (UMIK-1 or UMIK-2).
