JL AUDIO Now Shipping FIX™ 86 OEM Integration DSP
Miramar, FL—July 5, 2016-—JL Audio, known for producing some of the finest
audio systems in the mobile, marine, powersports, and home audio markets, has
announced the availability of the FIX™86 OEM Integration Digital Signal
Processor (DSP), that allows customers to upgrade factory-supplied auto sound
systems without switching out the factory radio. FIX™86 joins the previously
introduced model FIX™82 introduced late in 2015.
While the previously released FiX™ 82 is a 2-channel processor, the new FiX™
86 is designed around a 4.1 channel input/output architecture, fully preserving the
factory fader’s functionality.
FIX™86 offers powerful correction capabilities, including automatic level
adjustment, delay compensation, summing and equalization correction. It accepts
line level or speaker level signals up to 30 volts into eight inputs and it can
independently process a three-way front set of signals and a two-way rear set,
outputting clean, corrected front, rear and non-fading subwoofer outputs. The only
equipment required for setup is a calibration track played through the audio
system. With the press of a button, in about 30 seconds, clean front, rear and
subwoofer audio signals are generated for connection to aftermarket electronics.
An optional DRC-200 Digital Remote Controller can be added to the FiX™ 86,
providing Master Volume, Subwoofer Level and mode selection functions.
JL Audio VP-Marketing, Manville Smith said: “The FiX™ processors offer
unmatched processing performance when working with OEM audio signals. The
new FiX™ 86 adds four-channel capability within one chassis and will be ideal for
a huge number of OEM integration applications.”
