Designed exclusively for ARC Audio by industry engineering legend Robert Zeff, the X2800.8 DSP brings high-resolution tuning, flexible system design, and clean OEM integration into a compact, installer-ready amplifier. Inspired by ARC Audio’s flagship DSP platforms, it delivers professional-level features in a more accessible and efficient design—ideal for modern vehicles and real-world system builders.
The amplifier includes 8 bridgeable Class-D channels and 12 DSP-controlled outputs, powered by a 32-bit ADAU1462 processor and AKM’s Velvet Sound™ ADC and DAC architecture for detailed signal conversion and low-noise performance. With digital input support up to 192kHz / 32-bit via coaxial S/PDIF, the X2800.8 DSP is ready for high-res playback and advanced system tuning.
ARC’s DNA software provides full control over EQ, crossovers, delay, phase, summing, and mixer routing—with up to four user-defined presets. Inputs support both RCA and speaker-level sources, and full iDatalink Maestro AR compatibility enables direct OEM integration with retained factory functionality and control reassignment.
Its compact footprint and smart thermal design make it ideal for under-seat, side-panel, or factory-location installs—allowing users to retain valuable cargo space and install cleanly without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re chasing the perfect staging, tighter bass, or that uniquely personalized musical experience, the X2800.8 DSP gives you the tools to tune your system exactly the way you want it—without compromise.
From stealth installs to active multi-channel builds, the X2800.8 DSP offers powerful, flagship-inspired tuning control—refined and re-engineered for flexibility, integration, and performance.
