Axxess Develops the AX-DSP-LITE with “Just the Essentials”

CES 2019 New Product Rollout

Holly Hill, Fla. –  January 3, 2019 – Axxess Integrate® by Metra Electronics® announces the AX-DSP-LITE, as a “Lite” version to provide just the essentials for sound systems that do not need to utilize all of the features in the existing AX-DSP solution. The AX-DSP-LITE still provides Axxess’s cutting-edge technology to retain vehicle functions. Installers can use the AX-DSP-LITE with OEM or aftermarket radios to take six channels of fixed level/digitally controlled analog audio and convert it to six channels of analog signal for use with an aftermarket amplifier or DSP.

While this may be a “Lite” version, it still provides retention of many important vehicle functions. The AX-DSP-LITE features chime control1, retains OEM voice prompts2 and sonar sensors3, and has clipping detection and limiting circuits. There are six inputs and six outputs, including front, rear and subwoofer, and the front and rear outputs can be delayed independently up to 10ms. Unlike the AX-DSP, settings are adjusted through a Windows PC. Optional add-on accessories will include a TOSLINK® output and Bluetooth® streaming input. The existing AX-DSP plug-n-play harnessing will work with AX-DSP-LITE.

AX-DSP-LITE Specifications:

●        6 inputs and 6 outputs, including front, rear and subwoofer

●        Front and rear outputs can be delayed independently up to 10ms

●        Easy behind the radio installation

●        Can be used with OEM and aftermarket radios

The AX-DSP-LITE will be on display at CES in the Metra Electronics booth #5211 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. New products will be online at AxxessInterfaces.com starting January 8 with additional product press releases at AxxessInterfaces.com/news.
