PS12-Pro: More Channels, Higher Resolution, Ultimate Control
The PS12-Pro shares the same stylish installer friendly chassis and core DSP processor—the powerful Analog Devices ADAU1462—found in the PS8-Pro and PS16-Pro, but offers 12 output channels to accommodate the growing demands of modern vehicle audio systems. Many OEM setups feature 10 or more speaker locations, and high-channel-count reference systems require precise, individual channel processing—this is where the PS12-Pro excels.
Engineered with dual AKM Velvet Sound ADCs and DACs, the PS12-Pro delivers exceptional sonic transparency and ultra-low distortion. It processes high-resolution audio signals up to 192kHz at 32-bit end-to-end resolution, capturing every detail with pristine accuracy.
Paired with ARC Audio’s DNA Tuning Software, the PS12-Pro provides installers and audiophiles with extensive EQ capabilities, ultra-fine delay adjustments, flexible signal routing, and advanced crossover controls—all within the trusted, rugged Pro-Series platform.
OEM integration remains seamless, featuring wide input compatibility, intelligent signal sensing, and full support for iDatalink Maestro AR modules for effortless integration into a broad range of factory-amplified vehicles.
For those building complex, multi-channel systems or upgrading sophisticated OEM setups, the PS12-Pro delivers the ideal balance of expanded channel count and uncompromising sound quality—precision tuning for demanding audio environments.
