A balanced bargain
MuteMike 08.06.2020
I've got to say I'm really impressed by this unit. Great value for money. I have used it in a 2 way DIY loudspeaker, and I've also used it to fine tune 2 pairs of loudspeakers in a recording studio.

I'll break down my thoughts...

The bad:
No on/off switch
Power light is too bright (blue)
Input headroom is not forgiving
Thomann's freebie included EU/UK adaptor doesn't actually fit with this PSU shape

The good:
nice form factor - useful holes to screw in place
Low noise (balanced in & out)
Software is easy and powerful
Excellent filters & EQ
Save and load your work
4 ins AND outs
A variety of useful processing
Works as a sine,white,pink noise generator

It seems to me that this unit is offering performance that you won't find anywhere else at this price point. This is a fantastic digital crossover, I'm getting better results than I was with a pricey passive crossover.

I am currently using this as a tool in my studio to minimise speaker/room inaccuracies. It's 4 channel meaning you can send it both your stereo main and mini feed, EQ each pair of speakers separately to remove any issues and even apply a limiter if you'd like, then you can mix without having to make allowances for your speakers/room.

I have been so curious about Sonarworks, however, my TDM Pro Tools HD system is way too old to support such software. This device is a really nice workaround for anyone using an old rig or an analogue mixing console. Although I would love to see an updated model with more headroom, an on/off switch and a more subtle light!

Thanks Thomann for this great device. The delivery for this item did take ages, but it was so worth the wait.

Great dsp!
Maskov 24.01.2021
This is the best value dps you can get for the money!
I tried it in my home studio and live,it surely does wonders!
i also use it to route it in my bass amp as sent and return so i could get that extra features on my amp more eq and more compression!

Sound quallity is very good no extra hiss or ground problem and since it has all the ballanced connection it makes life easier,

But it could be better not hardware vise but software + alowing us to mod it also,,what do i mean by it,, adding on, bypass buttons in software for every path in chain eq,compression,etc and changing order of it,,also what would be nice to add midi support of software simple bypass option or change speakers like for example if you have 4 speaker on output, you could make feuture to mute one pair and play another,,, now for hardwar wise it could be great to control that software with a midi over arduino thats connected to usb on this dsp,,i thing these are crutial thing that needs to be done to be used in studio setting,,,
so conclusion time,,
is it worth it? YES

is it necessity? YES every big studio had some eq on the end of their signal path for monitoring.

is there better options? No i dont think there is any,,

Just buy it :)

I'm very impressed!

I bought this on the basis of reviews- I'm only using it as a crossover and delay- but it is excellent! The software is intuitive and was easy to use! Enabled me to accurately feed speakers with exactly the correct signals and delay where necessary!

Don't beleive the acousticians - buy one!
Chris Q. 01.09.2021
Having treated my studio with corner bass trapping, wall mounted early reflection absorbers etc. I finally decided to upgrade to a larger set of speakers. To my chagrin, the bass in the room felt worse than ever.

I bought this out of desperation and I have to say, every studio should have one of these. Allowed me to linearise the bass response of my room by about 5dB with no drawbacks. The room measurements post EQ are clearly much better. It took maybe 4 hours to get a room calibration I was fully happy with, but I can't imagine mixing without it.

If you're a live guy, I'd still recommend it. You just need a laptop with Room EQ Wizard and to blast pink noise for a few minutes while you measure. You can gate, you can limit with an extremely fast attack and ratio, the headroom is pretty good and you can do the crossovers internally as well as band limit if you're trying to be gentler on your power amps.

The only downside (apart from the limit of the Parametric Filters)is the blue light is super bright. I just mounted it under my desk. You get six filters, it should be enough or something else is deeply wrong.

Amazing
Antonis K. 09.12.2021
For my needs is the best processor with the best price . I use the t.racks DSP 4x4 Mini to setup properly my two studio monitors (Yamaha HS8) in combination with the sub (Prodipe Pro 10s V3) and I manage to do it with DSP 4x4 Mini perfectly in detail . For those who use mac O.S. and not windows you can run it definitely by using virtualbox or other virtual machines. For me it worked with virtualbox with no problems.

Who needs Sonarworks?
Angel Angeles III 24.08.2021
This works much better for monitors (if you know how to do it of course)! It's totally silent, has 7 bands + HPF and LPF fully parametric EQ, gate, compressor/limiter, delay, and routing options! I chose this over MiniDSP because of the balanced connections. One thing to take note is that I don't think the software works with Mac and you will need to have a Windows computer to use it.

Best dsp i ever seen. You can do with dsp whatever you want (crossover,limiter,compressor...) Very easy to conect and use it.I use it for limiter and crossover for 2 passive speakers and 2 passive subwoofers.
