10-Channel DSP with 4 channels of built in Amplification
Versatile Audio Outputs
The amplifier provides six RCA and four high-level class AB outputs (4 x 65W), making it adaptable for various car audio configurations. This versatility allows users to connect multiple speakers or subwoofers to achieve a more dynamic system. Whether it's a basic setup or a complex multi-channel system, the Goldhorn P1 DSPA has the necessary outputs. This feature makes the product suitable for simple upgrades and more advanced installations.
Comprehensive Tuning Capabilities
With its DSP functions, the P1 DSPA allows users to adjust parameters like gain, phase, and crossover frequencies. These features help optimize each speaker’s performance based on the car's acoustics. Such comprehensive tuning ensures that the system delivers balanced and accurate sound reproduction. It allows enthusiasts to fine-tune their setup for the best possible performance.
High-Quality DSD Playback
Advanced Decoding Technology
The Goldhorn P1 DSPA supports DSD256 hardware decoding, which provides a highly accurate representation of sound for true-to-source audio playback.

The precision of DSD256 decoding brings out details in music that are often lost in other formats. Users can enjoy every nuance of their favorite tracks without compromise.
Enhanced Sound Clarity
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) playback technology contributes significantly to the overall sound clarity. By using a higher sampling rate, DSD reduces the noise and distortion found in lower-resolution audio formats. The result is a natural, lifelike audio experience with rich harmonics. This translates to a smoother, more engaging listening session in your vehicle.
Bluetooth 5.0 Connectivity
Wireless Audio Streaming
Bluetooth 5.0 enables fast and reliable wireless streaming from compatible devices. Users can seamlessly play music directly from their phone, eliminating the need for additional cables. The newer Bluetooth version also ensures a stable connection with minimal interference. This makes in-car listening more convenient and user-friendly.
High-Quality Transmission
Bluetooth 5.0 offers improved audio quality compared to previous versions, thanks to higher data transfer rates. This means you can enjoy better sound when streaming music via Bluetooth, closely matching wired connections. By maintaining high data integrity during wireless streaming, audio quality remains robust. This is particularly beneficial for those who use streaming services or have large digital music libraries.
