Hertz - DSP
Hertz S8 DSP for Harley-Davidson Touring
The Hertz S8 DSP is a standalone eight-channel digital signal processor that adds full tuning control to a Harley audio system: crossovers, equalisation, level setting and time alignment across the channels. On a bike, where the speaker positions are fixed and the fairing shapes the sound, that control is what lets you align the front stage and tune the system to the listening position rather than run it flat. It is the processor for a rider building a precise, multi-channel Hertz system.
The S8 DSP sits between your source and amplifiers as a dedicated processor within the Hertz component ecosystem, rather than being a packaged complete system. Add it to a Hertz speaker and amplifier build where you want the most control over the tune, and pair it with the Hertz amplifiers for a matched result.
Why You'll Love It
- Full tuning control: crossovers, equalisation, level and time alignment across eight channels.
- Aligns the front stage: time alignment brings the sound to the listening position, which matters when the speaker positions are fixed.
- Standalone processor: a dedicated unit within the Hertz ecosystem, not a packaged system, so it scales with the build.
- Eight channels: enough output channels for a multi-way front stage, rear stage and subwoofer.
- Matched to Hertz: designed to get the most from a Hertz speaker and amplifier system.
FAQ
What does the S8 DSP do?
It gives crossover, equalisation, level and time alignment control across eight channels, so the system is tuned to the bike and the listening position rather than run flat.
Is the S8 DSP a complete system?
No. It is a standalone processor within the Hertz component ecosystem. It adds tuning to a system of separate speakers and amplifiers rather than being an all-in-one package.
Do I need a DSP?
Not for a basic upgrade, but a DSP is what lets you align the front stage and set crossovers precisely, which makes a real difference on a bike. See the DSP amplifiers for an amplifier with onboard DSP as an alternative.
How does it connect?
It sits between your source and your amplifiers, taking the input signal, processing it and feeding the amplifiers. Tell us your source and amplifiers and we will confirm the connection.
