S8 DSP Mobile vs HARMONY DSP

Through the S8 DSP Mobile app you can use your iPad/iPhone to set up and command the complete S8 DSP device feature set via Bluetooth LE connection. S8 DSP mobile app offers two remote control modes: DRC or CONFIGURATOR. DRC mode allows to control basic DSP functions like memories, master volume, subwoofer volume and input selection. The CONFIGURATOR mode offers a clear user interface for controlling all the S8 DSP device features. Using the APP in OFFLINE mode you can create/simulate a new setup file or load a setup file already stored in your device. Then you can make the adjustment and save it again or upload that setup file into the S8 DSP device once a BT connection is estabilished.

The Harmony DSP App allows you to setup and tune your system with your smart phone or tablet. In the main screen you will find the Input Source menu where you can choose BT, HI-LEV, USB and AUX. Here you also find 8 Presets (saved into your device) to choose from, you access the Music Player, you have the Main and Subwoofer Volume, and the Advanced menu with Channels, EQ, System and Mixing. From the Channel Page, you can assign the function of each speaker, check the Phase for polarity, adjust the individual Channel Gains and set Delay in milliseconds or centimeters, for a rock solid and accurate front stage. The EQ page holds the heart and the brains of the App. You can use either the Graphic or the Paragraphic EQ’s. You can customize the crossovers to fit the needs of your individual system. You have adjustments for Gain, frequency, and Q factor. You can work on channels individually or you can link them. With the MIX function you can manually determine which inputs (USB-L/R, Digital-L/R, BT-L/R) will be used for each output (processing channel) and how much of each input the output will receive. The new Music Player function lets you have full control of all your favorite songs, inside the App. Be sure to connect a proper USB device containing audio files in the supported format (MP2/4, WMA, APE, FLAC, AAC, M4A,WAV, AIF, AIFC). From the App it is possible to access the folders and the contained audio files.
