ESX QL810SP DSP review and distortion measurements

Huge thanks to ESX UK team for providing this DSP for a review, you can find more information about this product here:

I enjoy the longer data driven videos.

The staging function (it is a band fixed EQ for use in balance mode) is for improving stage / imaging after the tuning process. I have great results with this. Use band limited pink noise (in German: Terzbandrauschen) with it. I also would recomend to test the ESX VE 1300.11 SP DSP Amplifier.

The Adau are the two dsps, the two AKM are the DAC and the ADC. The other two I didnt get a good idea what they are. Definitely a nice little DSP. The QE812SP was one of the top 3 I was considering. The other two were the Helix Ultra S and the Goldhorn P2 DSP pro. In the end I went Goldhorn the Sabre 9038Q2m dacs are just another level compared to the AK dacs used in car audio products. As always good job Nerijus!

Thank you for all your knowledge. I wish amazing growth for your channel. You truly deserve it

If someone knows better feel free to correct, but from reading up on that Staging EQ, it seems like kind of an alternative to Virtual Channel Processing on Helix but without the additional SFX Helix offers. So you can fine tune for example front left and front right as groups, and it has an option of linking the channels so that when you for example notice your image pull to the right at a specific frequency, you can make an adjustment to the right channel and the DSP automatically applies the opposite to the left channel, so that the imaging balances out

Great video 👍🏼👍🏼( I've had my Ultra S for 3 weeks, & still believe it to be the best DSP:)

I only just stumbled across these recently and was astonished at The prices of their amps, the engineers might have even been ex audiotec Fischer before this venture or something from memory.

I like the idea of the mobil app to make changes. How many times where you just need to change one setting.
No need to gain access to the dsp, plug the cable in & fire up the laptop.

How noisy is the Helix Bluetooth compared to this one?

[midbass.maestro]

Would u expect the pdx alpines to be rally good or average? I have 2 600.1 on bass and 100.4 on front

[johnrodrigues]

Can you make a video testing frequency responses with a foam speaker baffle installed? Comparing results with, and without the baffle installed.

[jessebeatty]

So do you have full control of the dsp with the app for people that don’t have a laptop?

[chloeleedow]

Also like the fact the control is optional, I barely use my controller, I mean I'd probably want it anyway but good it's not essential if it makes it cheaper.

[jkmatt]

Looks like they just used the same case/heatsink as the quantum amplifier line, better to have too much then not enough heatsink

Why can’t these DSP companies have eq import function like Helix? I mean how hard can it be to write it in the software? They should know almost everybody that’s going to be using their product is using REW for tuning and sometimes you have to use a lot of those 31 PEQ bands on several speakers. No import feature is a deal breaker for me, even though it’s cheaper than Helix. If they really want to directly compete with Helix they’ve got to get onboard with eq import.

[chloeleedow]

I think the heat sinks are purely aesthetic lol beautiful unit though.

[smgreen]

1 pound = $1.29 USD
So about $900 for this DSP.

Ilgai dairiausi į ESX dsp bet likau prie helix

[krotaskrotux]

Prisiminiau tavo nuomone kokios galios reik stiprintuvo jei turim tarkim RMS 300w garsekalbi
