It did, they are much better now

We work together 9 hours a day 6 days a week. It is all puppies and unicorns 😁

Agreed

You can use the lc7i from audio control

Will the lc7i work with the amplified B&O?

I don’t think it has a Toslink input for the Zen. The D6-1200 doesn’t at least.

It was not out at time of filming

Yes

I’m trying to figure out the same thing. I’m going to be installing a zen a2b with a dm-608 and 2 Skar amps and I’m getting so confused watching this, since I’ll be doing the install myself

Yes it is an Audiocontrol and thing

The "D" series amps like the D-6.1200 (which I own) have a "D"SP, or Digital Sound Processor built in to them. The DSP section is very similar to the DM-608 standalone DSP. The "LC" amplifiers are just amplifiers....but with very nice features.

Real quick.... The advantages of the DSP/Amp combos are.... 1.You save on interconnect aka RCA cables. Since the two boards are directly connected, you only need a source cable sending the audio signal from the audio's source to the AC unit. If you get the their BT-24 BlueTooth receiver that plugs directly in to the amp/DSP, you can use you phone or tablet to send audio directly to the AC piece. This allows you simply bypass the vehicles stock audio system entirely! I did a test and 8 people could not tell the difference between an RCA connection vs the BT connection! This also allows you to use the Android based tuning software for the DSP's section with the same phone or tablet but I really stress using the tablet because of the size of the adjustments. Average cable savings alone can be from several $100 to over $1k depending on the RCA's preferred. 2.The direct connection of the signal processor board to amp board decrease chances of noise from entering the audio system. By removing ALL those RCA connections, a possible 6 pair of inputs and 8 pair of outputs, you are eliminating 28 possible point of failure and noise catchers (LOL)! That's a big deal....especially if you are not a DIY person and do not want to take it back to the shop....they can charge for troubleshooting after a certain time. 3. Footprint and space savings By having two pieces of equipment that are close to the same size put into one unit, you can more easily find mounting areas. This also reduces labor costs if a shop is installing the system. You do not have to have a separate power, ground, and remote turn on ran for 2 units....just the one. 4. Overall SQ (Sound Quality) It's very apparent that once all the above 3 items occur, that the overall quality of the audio played is increased vs 2 individual units, an amp(s) and DSP, when compared and evaluated. I had 5 people listen to before and after the two setups and they could hear a change. I did not have testing equipment at the time buy I'm looking forward to revisiting this part of the reason why. Hopefully soon. I hope this helps you make a better decision. There are several companies out there making 5 and 6 channel amp/DSP combos. Most, including the AC versions, have a set of full range DSP controlled outputs to hook to another outboard amp say for a more powerfull subwoofer setup or center/rear channel application. OMG! I almost forgot! The combined price of the 2 units are usually less than purchasing them separately! I just love helping out from my experiences.

@@justinmurphy2227 thanks boss 🙏. Makes perfect sense

​@@justinmurphy2227 Is a d series amp type amp or a seperate dsp with an amp needed for installs using the nat tv unit or can you just go with a standard amp with no dsp?

@@rb25detMitch07 you can use it like a high to low lever device without a DSP is my understanding. It's just grabbing the signal from the factory systems head unit and giving the user an interface to use aftermarket equipment with.

Ford has terrible ground, cut the red and black wires on the zen harness and run them to your distribution blocks for the amps from the battery.
