JL Audio TwK 88 Audio Processor
The TwK 88 processes audio between the source and amplifiers. TüN software over USB provides channel equalization, crossover, delay and level adjustment. This product is the eight-analogue-input TwK 88.
Features
- 8 Channels of audio output plus 1 digital PASS-THROUGH
- 80 TOTAL Bands of equalization
- TüN® Software offers quick INPUT/OUTPUT setup and wide selection of eq, crossover, delay and level adjustments
- 8 RCA Inputs or 1 optical input
- Included DRC-200 offers remote audio control
- 2-YEAR Warranty
- System Tuning, Simplified: Engineered to deliver world-class system-tuning capabilities in an easy-to-use format, both the TwK 88 and TwK D8 processors offer 8 channels of crystal-clear analog audio outputs plus an unprocessed optical (Toslink™ device) digital output. The optical output jack lets you expand your system with additional TwK DSPs, if needed.
- Control Via TÜN Interface: To control the tuning horsepower of the TwK system-tuning processors, connect your system via the built-in USB hub to your compatible PC by using the companion TüN software interface. Together, TwK and TüN work to streamline the setup and monitoring of your DSP tuning measurements.
- Powerful Tuning Tools: A flexible input mixer allows left and right input channels to be combined with full control over each input’s level and polarity. A total of 80 bands of graphic or parametric equalization are provided, along with configurable EQ assignment. Precise output level controls, adjustable in 0.5-decibel or 0.1-decibel increments, are fully linkable with other channels in any combination.
- FINE-TUNING For Filters: The TwK series toolset includes a powerful crossover section with fully variable high-bypass and low- pass filters. Crossover slopes are selectable from 6-decibel/octave to 48-decibel/octave (in 6-decibel/octave increments).
