miniDSP
miniDSP makes powerful, flexible audio processors and measurement microphones that let you take control of your room and your sound.
Whether you’re correcting room acoustics, integrating subwoofers or building your own active speakers, miniDSP gives you the tools to do it right. From affordable entry points to full-featured streaming processors with Dirac Live, there’s a model to suit every system and every skill level. As the UK’s leading miniDSP dealer, we’re here to help you find the right model – and get the most out of it.
miniDSP SHD series
The SHD series combines 2 in / 4 out processing, Dirac Live room correction and built-in music streaming. Perfect for 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 systems where transparency, control and usability matter. Choose the full-width SHD if you need analogue and digital inputs and outputs. Choose the compact all-digital SHD Studio if you have digital sources and an external DAC.
miniDSP Flex series
Compact and powerful, Flex series audio processors are ideal for two-channel systems, subwoofer integration and room correction. The Flex comes in multiple I/O options to suit your setup. The Flex Eight has eight independently-configured output channels, making it the perfect choice for building your own active speaker crossovers or a multi-sub system.
miniDSP Flex HT series
The Flex HT (home theatre) series is designed for complex multichannel systems with HDMI eARC, flexible signal routing and support for Dirac Live. Ideal for immersive multi-channel setups, multi-sub installations or custom DSP applications. The compact Flex HT has an eight-channel HDMI eARC input, additional two-channel USB, coaxial and optical digital inputs, and eight-channel analogue output. Flex HTx adds eight-channel balanced analogue inputs and outputs.
miniDSP Tide16 and AMP-8
Tide16 is miniDSP’s flagship immersive audio processor. It is built around a dedicated ARM processing engine rather than the DSP chipsets used in most AV processors. It includes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding, HDMI eARC switching, 16-channel processing with balanced XLR outputs, and Dirac’s most advanced processing suite. To complement the Tide16 processor, miniDSP offers the AMP-8 8-channel power amplifier.
ADept Phono Stage & ADC
Whether you’re archiving analogue recordings or integrating vinyl into a digital system, the ADept makes it easy – with clean gain, flexible EQ and crystal-clear conversion. It can also be used as a line-level analogue-to-digital converter, making it a great option for adding an extra analogue input to a miniDSP audio processor.
UMIK Measurement Microphones
To get the best from any room correction system, accurate measurement is essential. miniDSP’s plug-and-play USB microphones are trusted worldwide for their accuracy and ease of use. UMIK-1 is the standard for room correction and subwoofer integration. UMIK-2 offers reference-class accuracy and extended range, for the most demanding measurement tasks.
Accessories
The KD-1 smart controller works with miniDSP Flex series, SHD series and Tide16 processors. It provides tactile control and visual feedback of volume, input and preset selection, and other common features. On models equipped with a built-in streamer, it also shows the track information and artwork for the current song.
KD-1 can also now control any Roon system, even if you do not own a miniDSP processor. It connects to your Wi-Fi network, and allows you to control your Roon server. You can use it to switch between Roon zones, adjust volume, play/pause, mute and control other functions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the Flex, SHD and Flex HT models?
Flex models are compact stereo processors with multiple input and output options and Dirac Live available as an option. SHD models add network streaming and include Dirac Live as standard. HT models have multichannel inputs and outputs, making them ideal for home theatre and surround sound systems.
Do I need a measurement microphone to go with my miniDSP processor?
It depends on how you plan to use your processor, but a measurement microphone is essential for acoustic measurement, room correction and subwoofer integration.
Can miniDSP products improve my stereo system?
Absolutely. Even in 2-channel systems, miniDSP products help room EQ and speaker correction.
Is Dirac Live included with all models?
Not all. It’s included as standard with the SHD series. It’s an optional upgrade for the Flex and Flex HT models.
How do I purchase a Dirac Live licence?
Dirac Live comes as standard with SHD models, so there is no additional licence required. You can purchase a Dirac Live licence for a Flex or Flex HT processor using the miniDSP Device Console app.
Will it work with my system?
miniDSP processors are compatible with a wide range of systems – from basic stereo setups to advanced multi-amp configurations. If you’re unsure, just ask us. We’ll be happy to help.
What if I buy the wrong model?
No problem. We offer a 30-day return policy, so you can exchange it for a different model or get a full refund.
