Review on πŸ”Š DS18 DBP-1 Digital Bass Reconstruction Processor - Enhance Lower Frequencies Across Various Music and Reproduction Formats, RED, One Size by Tony Chandler

Revainrating 1 out of 5

not worth your money.

Uses lm324 amplifier, not recommended for audio due to internal design. Claims in the manual "On-board 30 volt bipolar switching power supply" are not accurate, it uses a standard 12 volt voltage divider circuit. "out to 7 volts" in the manual specs and "5 volt RCA" on the box, this is not possible with 2x/6dB internal gain and a standard 2.1 volt RCA input. And a real flaw. There is NO amplification at the subwoofer output. In the manual it says that the subwoofer is only present on the rear output (fader I think, since only 1 input is active at a time) this is not true, the subwoofer is fed directly from the main volume via a low-pass filter. Subwoofer output filter. I noticed a strange popping noise when plugged in, not sure what the cause is, it's being investigated, but my money is on poor design. There is nothing to criticize about the gold-plated cinch connections. Mechanical build quality is solid, but the screw holes in the box's lid are so misaligned that the box warps 1/8 inch with the screws installed. Buy something else. It's just another paperweight.
