- 12-Channel Digital Signal Processor with Built-in Class D Amplifier & Full-Range Connectivity.
Disclaimer: To optimize performance and user experience, Enigma DSP units should be updated with the latest PC software, a factory reset should be done, and the devices should be used for the first time only after the reset. Not performing the reset and using the device right away may result in the device performing some functions badly or in a way that sticks to minimal capabilities. These steps must be completed before proceeding to the setup.
