A542DSP Plug & Play DSP

AXTON’s latest generation of popular DSP amplifiers takes another big step forward: Hi-Res audio files – and of course all conventional music data – can now be played back via the car audio system thanks to the additional optical or coaxial inputs. This requires the ABT50 Hi-Res Audio Streaming Interface, which has also been newly developed: simply plug it into the A542DSP and enjoy your favorite music in the best audio resolution. Depending on the format, Hi-Res audio data offer the highest dynamic range and a resolution in original studio master quality. This benefits spatiality and transparency, but also ensures a voluminous bass in particular. Another new feature of these DSP power amplifiers is the ability to connect a remote control to the amplifiers to easily adjust the overall level and bass boost, or to mute the volume if needed. This control function is particularly interesting when the amplifiers are operated “stand-alone”, i.e. without a radio. The A542DSP also impresses with its other range of functions: on board are a 31-band equalizer per channel, a delay correction and active crossovers. In addition, there is the possibility to stream music from the smartphone via Bluetooth Audio (Hi-Res only with ABT50) directly to the amplifier – the control is convenient via iOS and Android smartphones. To do this, simply download the free controller app at www.axton.de or from the Apple App Store. This new Plug & Play DSP amplifier opens up previously unknown sound dimensions, offers outstanding performance and is ideal for purist car hifi installations. Thanks to Plug & Play connection including Auto-Turn-On function and the integrated 5-channel DSP-controlled preamplifier outputs, this amp offers a wide range of applications.
