Morel MDSP108A 8-Channel Class D DSP Amplifier with 8-Channel Speaker Inputs
Morel MDSP108A 8-Channel Class D DSP Amplifier with 8-Channel Speaker Inputs
The most powerful and versatile model in Morel's MDSP series, the MDSP108A delivers eight channels of Class D amplification with up to 160 watts per channel, advanced DSP processing, and comprehensive OEM integration capability from a single compact unit.
Product Overview
The MDSP108A is Morel's flagship 8-channel Class D DSP amplifier in the MDSP series, delivering 80 watts RMS x 4 on channels 1-4 and 160 watts RMS x 4 on channels 5-8, with the four higher-power channels bridgeable to 320 watts x 2 at 2 ohms and stable at 2 ohms for 160 watts x 4 operation. The eight-channel output configuration supports the most demanding multi-way active speaker system builds, providing dedicated amplification for front tweeters, front midrange, front woofers, rear speakers, and subwoofer channels from a single amplifier without the complexity of multiple separate units. Eight high-level speaker inputs provide comprehensive OEM integration capability, accepting the complete speaker channel output from most factory head units and amplified systems without a line output converter. Two RCA low-level inputs and an optical digital input offer additional source flexibility, while the USB OTG port supports firmware updates and offline tuning. Morel's SLAM technology maintains factory amplifier stability throughout the integration. High-resolution 24-bit/96kHz DSP with parametric EQ, adjustable crossovers, and per-channel input and output EQ provides complete system-wide fine-tuning. Bluetooth is optional. Eight amplified speaker outputs and two RCA low-level outputs are provided.
Features & Benefits
8-Channel Class D Amplification with Asymmetric Power Configuration: Channels 1-4 deliver 80 watts RMS at 4 ohms, suited to tweeters and midrange driver pairs in a multi-way active configuration. Channels 5-8 deliver 160 watts RMS at 4 ohms, suited to woofers and subwoofer channels requiring higher power output. This asymmetric power distribution allows the MDSP108A to be precisely matched to the differing power requirements of each driver in a multi-way system.
Bridgeable Channels 5-8 at 320W x 2 (2 Ohm): The four higher-power channels can be bridged to deliver 320 watts x 2 at 2 ohms, providing substantial subwoofer drive capability without a separate monoblock amplifier and maintaining all eight amplified channels within a single chassis.
2-Ohm Stability on Channels 5-8: Channels 5-8 are stable at 2 ohms in stereo for 160 watts x 4, supporting a wide range of speaker and subwoofer impedance configurations without bridging.
8-Channel High-Level Speaker Inputs: Eight high-voltage speaker-level inputs provide comprehensive OEM integration, accepting the full speaker output from most factory systems across all channels without a separate line output converter.
Optical Digital Input: An optical TOSLINK input accepts digital audio signal from compatible source units, delivering the source to the amplifier's 24-bit DSP in the digital domain before analogue conversion, maintaining signal integrity throughout the chain.
USB OTG Input: Supports firmware updates and offline tuning file loading without requiring a live wireless connection.
High-Resolution 24-Bit/96kHz DSP Processing: Transparent 24-bit/96kHz digital signal processing with parametric EQ, fully adjustable crossovers, and per-channel input and output EQ across all eight channels for complete, system-wide calibration.
SLAM (Speaker Load Assurance Module): Maintains factory amplifier stability when integrating with OEM systems via high-level speaker inputs, preventing load-related faults throughout the integration.
Signal Summing: Onboard signal summing supports flexible input channel routing in OEM and complex multi-source system configurations.
Start/Stop Compatibility, Automatic Source Switching, DRC and TuneLink Support: Full suite of integration and control features including multi-amp simultaneous tuning via TuneLink for streamlined installation of complex systems using more than one MDSP amplifier.
Optional Bluetooth: Bluetooth audio streaming and control is available as an optional addition for this model.
