ZDA6.8 – DSP Amplifier
The ZDA6.8 DSP Amplifier redefines in-car sound quality at this price point, outshining the standard factory-installed amplifiers. Unlike the typical Class D technology found in similar products, the ZDA6.8 employs Class A/B technology, delivering a warmer, more natural sound that brings your music to life. Even without DSP adjustments, the sound quality is significantly enhanced. However, the built-in DSP takes it further, allowing you to fine-tune your vehicle’s audio system to suit your preferences, no matter your music taste.

OIS – OEM Impedance Simulation
The ZDA6.8 is equipped with OEM Impedance Simulation (OIS), ensuring compatibility with modern head units and amplifiers. By simulating speaker impedance, it maintains the functionality of your vehicle’s OEM head unit, preventing potential issues with plug-and-play installations. 

Input Priority
The Input Priority feature ensures effortless integration with your vehicle’s OEM head unit. You can use low-level inputs or digital sources such as Bluetooth, Optical, or Coaxial, without losing vital system sounds like parking sensors, alerts, and radio signals. For instance, if your vehicle has a high-pass filter that limits bass output, you can bypass this limitation by streaming audio directly to the DSP via Bluetooth while maintaining full OEM functionality. 

DSP Outputs
The ZDA6.8 doesn’t stop at upgrading your system—it also enables expansion. With two free DSP-configurable RCA outputs (Channels 7-8), you can connect additional amplifiers, such as a subwoofer amp, and fully optimize them using the DSP software. Delay settings, filters, and equalization options ensure top-tier performance for your additional components.
