Audison Bit One Vr.1.5 Review



The main focus is to allow the equalization of the system de-series of cars equipped with integrated audio processor, to evolve and improve the system of any car series. 

It has 10 inputs PRE Amp Signal Level, 8 inputs Speaker Level signals, digital input S / PDIF optical and electrical input PHONE IN for integration with the hands-free cell phone. 

Provides 8 preamp outputs both a digital level that market. 

Each channel has an equalizer with 32 available bands , an electronic crossover and a digital delay line. To make the many adjustments you need to connect with a PC. 

The brushed aluminum black dress does not a miracle of beauty and flamboyance, the whole street was born in the trunk for installation integrates well with any structure you intend to use. 

It has the top a small quirk aesthetic lighting dedicated Audison logo, while inside are one of the most powerful processors on the market today, a 32-bit processor with floating point firmware upgradeable. 

The processor comes virtually open source means open to all , whether you want to use on systems with soffisficati source whose electrical or optical digital coaxial output, which number of sources having the only high level outputs, not disdaining the canonical low-level RCA composite inputs. 

With regard to find out with 8-channel RCA mono, can be configured in a manner completely independent from each other, optical outputs, coaxial, and obviously the connection of the house called AD Audison link for connection of digital electronic Thesis marked Th2, Th1 and TH4 giving way to realize a fully digital system from the source to the amplifier. 

There is also the possibility to connect the Bit One, not only the canonical radio, but you can also get additional sources such as portable MP3, iPod, computer etc.. 

Now we come to list the various functions with which you can act on the input signal, whatever it is low or high level, analog or digital. 

The main harmonics of the low level even if they are regenerated by the presence inside of a pink noise signal that takes care to recreate the fundamental harmonic as long as you provide a signal to the processor that contains the entire passband from 20Hz to 20 kHz, even if we were to use this system with the original audio outputs filtered as often happens today in some cars German Manufacturing, the audio signal can be delayed, filtered and equalized. 

It 'good to know that the filters are of two types: Butterworth, and Linkwitz with selectable slopes from 6 to 48 db, but the delays are in steps of 1 ms which is equivalent to about 2.7 cm, which can be further corrected to the proper function. The equalizer but it was decided to operate the "Classic" in octave graphic equalizer, according to this because of technical Elettromedia, it would create imbalances of phase that could affect the calibration of the entire system. 

The interface graphics with which you interact with the processor is quite simple and intuitive, but alas, it becomes complicated to be able to talk to the software of the processor with the pc if you have the Vista operating system, no particular problem with XP instead. 

The actions we are going to performed on the processor can be saved is obviously the processor, where there are 4 different memos available on the PC that we're using, it is used to verify that the settings are not accidentally modified by any person, destroying hours of calibration or even worse, leading to rupture of some component. 

The four different settings that we are going to store can be easily recalled by the operator through the DRC has provided you with a brushed aluminum color LCD display with blue background and features a large knob on the left made ​​entirely of aluminum that is to say the true features of the corners so sharp that might cut, and 4 small buttons that serve to precisely recall the various settings. 

Listening to the processor tends to be pleasantly quiet even if not clear, but this is probably due to an error of youth , the pieces come to installers who currently have a sort of pre-series that have yet to be optimized, unfortunately there have been some reports of malfunctions related to misfire DRC, and difficulty to access the software, 

but as early interventions are sincere and reliable, giving the operator a way to do the classic leap in quality even on a system that was thought to be already reached its optimus in terms of development, all at an affordable price.
