Description

The Flex Eight is the 2 in / 8 out member of the miniDSP Flex family of advanced audio processors. miniDSP’s flexible hardware architecture has enabled them to cram a full eight channels of digital signal processing (DSP) and a world-class analogue output stage into the Flex Eight’s compact enclosure.

With multiple digital inputs and eight RCA analogue output channels, the miniDSP Flex Eight can be used to implement crossovers for a pair of four way active speakers, integrate six subwoofers with a pair of stereo speakers or whatever else you can imagine. Flexible 2 in / 8 out signal routing supports many other configurations such as two way, three way and multiple subwoofers. As always, a full suite of miniDSP’s proven audio processing functionality is included. miniDSP Flex Eight offers FIR filters and parametric EQ on the input channels, and parametric EQ, crossovers, advanced biquad programming and delay on each output channel. 

Flex Eight has USB audio, S/PDIF (RCA and optical) and Bluetooth (LDAC / aptX) stereo digital inputs. An OLED display and volume control / rotary encoder on the front panel provides easy control, and an infrared remote control handset is included for even greater convenience. Last but not least, firmware updates are delivered over the Internet via the new Device Manager app for macOS and Windows, and you can add two channel Dirac Live® full range room and speaker correction by purchasing an optional licence.

The miniDSP Flex Eight is the perfect solution for a modern compact integrated active speaker or multiple subwoofer system. You just need to let your creativity do the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

miniDSP audio processors offer a lot of flexibility and not every possible use case requires taking measurements with a microphone. However, if you are going to use your miniDSP processor for room correction, subwoofer integration or as an active crossover for your speakers, then you are going to want to take some measurements using software like Room EQ Wizard (REW) or Dirac Live.

miniDSP’s UMIK-1 and UMIK-2 omnidirectional USB measurement microphones work perfectly with REW, Dirac Live and most other measurement software. Both models come with individual calibration files for horizontal and vertical placement, to provide highly accurate measurements in either orientation.

The lower cost UMIK-1 microphone has a sample rate of 48 kHz. This allows it to measure audio frequencies up to 24 kHz. It covers the entire audible band and provides more than enough bandwidth for subwoofer integration or room correction duties, where attention is mostly focussed on the low frequencies.

For those who want to understand the behaviour of their speakers or room beyond the audible band and into the ultrasonic, miniDSP offers the UMIK-2. UMIK-2 is equipped with a larger, more sensitive microphone capsule and a higher end analogue to digital converter, which provides a maximum sample rate of 192 kHz. This enables UMIK-2 to reliably measure frequencies up to 96 kHz (two full octaves more than UMIK-1).
