The Generation VI of Zapco HDSP
The Zapco HDSP-VI represents an uncompromising leap in Automotive High Fidelity. This 16-Channel Masterpiece is designed to Completely Eliminate Processing Bottlenecks, Clock Jitter, and Vehicle Integration Obstacles. Combining Professional Desktop-Grade Conversion Chips with Multi-Core Parallel Processing, the HDSP-VI uniquely positions itself at the Absolute Pinnacle of In-Car Audio.
• 100% UNCOMPROMISED 192kHz NATIVE PATH: Powered by three (3) parallel Analog Devices ADAU1467 SigmaDSP processors. While competitor flagships down-sample audio to 96kHz when utilizing a full speaker matrix, the HDSP-VI calculates all 16 channels natively at 192kHz / 64-bit precision simultaneously.
• ESS SABRE 4TH-GEN HYPERSTREAM IV PRO CONVERSION: Armed with dual (2) flagship desktop-tier ES9039PRO DAC chips utilizing a proprietary QUAD Modulator. Delivers a staggering +140dB dynamic range, native DSD1024 processing capability, and a completely black noise floor with zero physical heat.
• VELVET SOUND INPUT CAPTURE: Equipped with dual (2) Asahi Kasei AK5578 32-bit premium ADCs, ensuring factory analog signals are captured with a pristine 121dB dynamic range.
• ULTRA-LOW PHASE NOISE FEMTO-CLOCKING: Features the legendary Crystek CCHD-957 (12.228 MHz) master audio oscillator paired with an Abracon ABLS logic clock to erase all digital jitter.
• ASYNCHRONOUS DIGITAL TRANSPORT: Direct high-speed XMOS Asynchronous USB interface for lossless 192kHz On-The-Go (OTG) smartphone streaming, galvanically isolated via high-end Murata DA100 digital audio transformers to eliminate electrical ground-loop noise.
• NATIVE A²B EV SOFTWARE EMBEDDED: Operates natively as a digital node on modern Automotive Audio Bus (A²B) networks found in Electric Vehicles. Intercepts pristine uncompressed factory audio loops while perfectly retaining all EV chimes and safety warning protocols.
• TRIPLE DSP ARCHITECTURE: Use 3 × Analog Devices ADAU1467, distributing processing across the three DSPs for more computing power and more freedom in handling crossovers, EQ, delay, routing, mixer, and phase correction.
• 16-CHANNEL D/A CONVERSION WITH DUAL ESS: Use 2 × 8-channel ES9039PRO ESS to handle all 16 outputs while maintaining the same conversion architecture on all channels and a very high level of quality.
• ROUTING MATRIX 16×16 COMPLETELY FREE: each input must be able to be routed to any output, without predefined paths. This allows the DSP to be adapted to both complex aftermarket systems and integration with OEM systems.
The New Generation of Zapco HDSP Processors.
The World’s Most Powerful, Category-Defining DSP, Built for Infinitesimal Calculation and HD Audio Streaming.
The Reference Series is back, better then ever.
Conceived several years ago to replace the Studio Series, the first Reference Series amplifier range was completed in 2001.
The Reference Series (originally called AG) marked ZAPCO's first attempt to bring the qualities that had built the ZAPCO legend to a line of amplifiers accessible to all. The response exceeded the company's wildest expectations.
ZAPCO presents today the new Reference Series, not to offer an amplifier accessible to everyone, but to offer the best amplifier in its price range, with four new models of 1, 2, 4, and 6 channels, with a classy new design and selected internal components, to obtain the best audio performance. The new Reference Series amplifiers sound as good as, or better than, other companies’ most expensive amps.
ZAPCO presents the new Harmony Blue Note Series with a full line of DSP/Amps. The new Series includes 5 DSP/Amps including the HB 68 II, a 8-Ch. 31-Bands DSP, the HB 46 4A II, a 6-Ch. 31-Bands DSP with integrated 4-Ch. Class-AB Amp, the HB 48 4A II, a 8-Ch. 31-Bands DSP with integrated 4-Ch. Class-AB Amp, and the HB 410 8A II, a 10-Ch. 31-Bands DSP with integrated 8-Ch. Class-AB Amp. We also have the HB 810 II 8AD with integrated 4-Ch. Class-AB + 4-Ch. Class-D Amp. Whatever your needs, you're covered. All the DSP/Amps also share the HD BT streaming, the new OTG input and an Integrated Music Player. The new full functions GUI offers a complete set of DSP tools, both for PC and Mobile, and has been designed to be intuitive for everyone. The Series includes 3 new Amplifiers. The HB 104D II is a 4-Ch. Class-D Amplifier with 150W/Ch. at 2 Ohm, the HB 154D II is a 4-Ch. Class-D Amplifier with 200W/Ch. at 2 Ohm, and the HB 501D II is a Mono Class-D Amplifier with 500W at 2 Ohm. They are equipped with electronic crossovers and low/high level inputs, for a perfect integration
