Following in the footsteps of ARC Audio’s PS8-50 DSP amplifier would be a tough act for any product engineer. Yet, the engineers at ARC Audio have taken the evolutionary step in engineering technology, in-house design, overall sound quality and performance with the ARC Audio Blackbird DSP Amplifier. The Blackbird comes in an OEM-location, installation-friendly chassis design, sized the exact same as its predecessor, the PS8-50. Equipped with all the latest advancements, features, and acoustically transparent benefits of ARC Audio’s Pro Series DSP platform, the Blackbird will easily fit under a seat or in a storage compartment of almost any vehicle. Capable of over 1,000 Watts of combined power across 8 channels of bridgeable amplifier speaker outputs, the Blackbird delivers between 75W – 250W of power per channel (depending on your configuration). As with all ARC Audio amplifier models, these power ratings are continuous power ratings (real music power ratings) and are conservatively rated assuring you get more power than the published rating. 8-Channels @ 4-Ohms (Ch 1-8): 75 Watts 8-Channels @ 2-Ohms (Ch 1 - 8): 125 Watts 4-Channel @ 4-Ohms (Ch 1-4 Bridged): 250 Watts Amplifier Frequency Response: 10Hz - 30kHz Fuse: 3 x 30 Amp DSP: Built In Processor Resolution: Fixed Point Native 32-Bits Sample Rate: 96kHz/192kHz Analog Inputs: 8 ch. Differential in (RCA or Speaker Level) Input Sensitivity: .5V - 32V RMS Digital Inputs: TOSLink & Digital Coaxial (Requires D.O.C. Adapter) Auto-sense Turn-On: Yes, Signal & DC (BTL) (Uses Ch 1/2 Inputs Only) Outputs (RCA): 4-Channels Dedicated DSP Control) Outputs Voltage (RCA): Up to 8V Input Impedance (rca): 10k ohms Frequency Response: 2Hz - 23.5kHz S/N Ratio 1V 1:1: 107.1dB S/N 4V 1:1: 108.dBdB
- Key Feature: The Blackbird comes in an OEM-location, installation-friendly chassis design, sized the exact same as its predecessor, the PS8-50
- Key Feature: Additional advancements on the ARC Audio Blackbird include four dedicated, DSP-controlled RCA outputs capable of up to 8V output each for a total of 12-Channels of Pro-Series DSP control.
- Key Feature: The Blackbird features optimum design for the most discriminating audiophiles building a complete aftermarket system, as it offers one of the most extensive and finite tuning feature-sets
- Key Feature: DSP power and tuning? We’ve got it covered. The all-new ARC Audio 12-channel Pro-Series DSP platform in the Blackbird is capable of processing audio streams up to 192kHz at 32-bit,
- Key Feature: The new DSP features 444 bands of One-Third-Octave or Parametric equalization, with adjustments up to +20dB/-24dB per band in 1/10th dB increments, by either individual band/global/mix adjustments.

The ARC Audio X2800.8 DSP is an 8-channel Class-D amplifier with an integrated 12-channel DSP, engineered for modern OEM integration and active system design. Built around an Analog Devices ADAU1462 32-bit processor and AKM Velvet Sound ADC/DAC architecture, it delivers low-noise signal conversion, precise tuning control, and flexible routing in a compact chassis. Eight bridgeable amplifier channels provide 50 W x 8 at 4 Ω or 85 W x 8 at 2 Ω, with the option to bridge for up to 170 W x 4 at 4 Ω. A 10 Hz–22 kHz frequency response and up to 8 V of RCA pre-out voltage give installers the bandwidth and headroom needed for high-performance speakers and external amplifiers. The onboard DSP offers 12 channels of processing, 4 assignable RCA outputs, and a full toolset for crossovers, EQ, delay, phase, summing, and mixer routing, all managed through ARC Audio’s DNA software. The X2800.8 DSP accepts up to eight balanced analog inputs (RCA or speaker-level) with 0.5–32 V sensitivity, plus a digital coaxial input supporting sample rates up to 96 kHz. Auto-sense turn-on, adjustable turn-on/turn-off timing, and a remote turn-on output simplify integration with factory and aftermarket electronics. iDatalink Maestro AR compatibility allows direct communication with select OEM source units while retaining factory features and enabling channel reassignment inside the DSP. A compact footprint, triple 30 A fuse bank, and fan-assisted cooling make the X2800.8 DSP suitable for under-seat, side-panel, or OEM-location installations where space and airflow are limited. With 8 channels of power, 12 channels of DSP control, and robust OEM integration options, it is designed for real-world multi-channel and active front-stage systems where tuning accuracy and reliability matter more than marketing hype.

Alpine designed its Status System components for high-resolution audio playback. Their Status Series digtial receiver, amp, speakers, and subs were designed to work together and play your 192kHz/24bit digital music streaming files with high-quality, studio-level purity and sonic fidelity. Your car's multi-speaker high-resolution audio system needs lots of power and precise tuning to sound its best - and Alpine's HDP-D90 Status Series amplifier and digital processor provide it with stylish good looks plus practical integration and find-tuning feature. You won't believe how many more details you'll hear that were missing in your music before installing this amplifier, thanks to its high-fidelity digital inputs and sound processing. The amp provides eight output channels of 50 watts RMS each, plus four channels of 80 watts RMS each - each with a wide, high-definition frequency response that improves your music's realism and presence. It's perfect for powering front tweeters, midrange, and mid-bass components, rear full-range speakers, plus a couple of subwoofers from bridged channels - or whatever other combinations you can dream up. If you're leaving the factory stereo intact, all the audio functions that were available in your system will still work after upgrading the power of each individual speaker by routing the factory signals through the amplifier. The HDP-D90 can handle pre-processed factory signals up to 80 watts per channel, so even your vehicle's premium amplified system can be upgraded without losing features. The HDP-D90 features 14 channels of digital sound processing (DSP) controlled by Alpine's HDP DSP tuning app running on your laptop or PC, or their HDP-D90 mobile phone tuning app via Bluetooth connection to your device. Each channel features sophisticated sound contols, including a 31-band EQ, a wide variety of crossover filters, phase control, and time delay.
