JL Audio TwK-88 audio processor (DSP), 8 inputs, 8 channels

Description

The JL Audio TwK-88 can process up to 8 analogue inputs and route the signal to 8 analogue outputs. It also has an optical and a coaxial digital input and an optical digital output, allowing various connection solutions in modern car Hi-Fi systems.

The TwK-88 offers extensive sound tuning options together with the JL Audio TüN software, which is used on a computer via a USB connection. The DSP allows adjustment of the equaliser, channel levels, signal routing, filter operation and time delay (Time Alignment) to achieve a precise stereo image and optimal tonal balance in the vehicle cabin.

The unit has a total of 80 equaliser bands, flexible channel mixing and adjustable high-pass and low-pass filters for different speakers and subwoofers. The included DRC-200 digital remote control allows you to change the volume, select settings and control various functions directly from the vehicle cabin.

The JL Audio TwK-88 is suitable for use in complex car Hi-Fi systems that use separate amplifiers, active speaker setups, or where you want to improve the quality of the factory audio system. Precise digital signal processing allows a more detailed, better balanced and more controlled soundstage.
