Goldhorn GDT 212 20 Channel DSP / 8 x 80w + 2 x 150w Amplifier

Virtual Surround Sound Technology

The Goldhorn GDT 212 creates an authentic Virtual Surround Sound environment through advanced multi-channel processing and precise time alignment. This technology ensures that audio from each speaker reaches the listener simultaneously, creating a cohesive soundstage that places instruments and vocals in their intended positions. The result is an immersive audio experience that rivals dedicated home theater systems, transforming your vehicle into a mobile concert hall.

Precision Frequency Management

The 31-band parametric equalizer provides granular control over frequency response, allowing you to compensate for vehicle-specific acoustics and speaker characteristics. Each band offers adjustable frequency, gain, and Q-factor settings, enabling precise sound shaping that eliminates unwanted resonances and enhances desired frequencies. This level of control ensures optimal performance from every component in your audio system.

Intelligent Crossover System

Advanced crossover filters automatically direct specific frequency ranges to appropriate speakers, preventing driver overload and reducing distortion. The system features customizable crossover points, slopes, and filter types, ensuring that each speaker operates within its optimal frequency range. This intelligent frequency distribution maximizes the efficiency and longevity of your speakers while delivering exceptional clarity across the entire audio spectrum.

Multi-Zone Audio Management

Front and rear sound zone separation allows independent control of different listening areas within your vehicle. This feature enables passengers to enjoy different audio sources or volume levels simultaneously, creating personalized listening environments. The navigation mix function intelligently prioritizes GPS and safety-related audio, ensuring critical information is always audible without disrupting the music experience.

Professional-Grade Component Selection

High-quality components including Wima temperature-resistant capacitors (rated to 105°C), MC33078 operational amplifiers, and professional-grade DAC/ADC chipsets ensure exceptional reliability and audio performance. These components are specifically selected for automotive applications, providing consistent performance under challenging environmental conditions while maintaining audiophile-grade sound quality.

Seamless System Integration

The comprehensive input array accommodates virtually any audio source, from factory head units to high-end aftermarket processors. High-voltage input capability (up to 32V) ensures compatibility with premium OEM systems, while multiple RCA and digital inputs provide flexibility for complex installations. This versatility makes the GDT 212 suitable for everything from simple upgrades to competition-level builds.

Real-Time Audio Processing

Advanced DSP algorithms continuously analyze and optimize audio signals in real-time, automatically adjusting parameters based on listening conditions and source material. The system's powerful processing capability handles complex calculations without introducing latency or artifacts, ensuring natural, dynamic sound reproduction that responds instantly to musical changes.

Error Protection and Reliability

The integrated Error Protection System monitors critical parameters including temperature, voltage, and signal levels, automatically adjusting operation to prevent damage and ensure consistent performance. This intelligent protection system extends component life while maintaining optimal audio quality, providing peace of mind for both casual listeners and professional installers.
