Product Overview
The miniDSPFlexEight is a stereo-input, eight-channel output compact high-resolution audio processor. It features
two digital inputs, USB audio, Bluetooth streaming with LDAC™ and aptX™ HD codecs and automatic Bluetooth input
selection, and an OLED front panel with physical volume control.
DiracLive upgrade
The miniDSPFlexEight can be upgraded to run stereo (two-channel) DiracLive® room correction. This requires an
additional purchase for the DiracLive license. You can either purchase the miniDSPFlexEight with DiracLive already
activated, or purchase the DiracLive upgrade at a later time from within the Device Console. Refer to the instructions
here:

Note that the upgrade applies per device.
Typical application
The miniDSPFlexEight is ideal for compact active loudspeaker solutions. Any outputs that are not used for the
speaker can be used for independent subwoofers.
Figure 1 shows the miniDSPFlexEight used as an active crossover with two subwoofers integrated. With multiple
digital inputs including Bluetooth audio streaming, this is very cost-effective way to build a modern active speaker
system. Add the optional DiracLive software upgrade for world-class room correction.
