Brax DSP 12ch DSP Processor

Description

BRAX DSP – The Pinnacle of Digital Sound Processing

Overview

The BRAX DSP represents the ultimate in digital sound processing, developed over seven years from its inception in 2011 to release in late 2018. This groundbreaking product is the most sophisticated DSP ever created by Audiotec Fischer, setting new standards in sound quality, modularity, and engineering excellence.

Equipped with three ultra-powerful 64-bit Sigma350 DSPs, the BRAX DSP delivers 3.6 billion MAC operations per second, operating natively at 192 kHz and offering audio bandwidth up to 80 kHz. Combined with Asahi Kasei’s industry-leading “Velvet Sound” converters, this DSP is designed for the most demanding audiophiles and professional installations.
