DSP and Tuning Features
The U.S. Amps Legato 12 DSP gives users detailed control over system tuning through PC software. The configuration software provides access to equalizers, frequency response control, and advanced DSP settings, making it easier to fine tune a complete car audio system.
The internal DSP uses a 32/40 bit floating point architecture and operates at 400 MHz, delivering the processing power needed for accurate sound shaping and clean signal management.
OPA2604AU Audio Circuit Section
The Legato 12 DSP uses 6 pieces of OPA2604AU dual FET input operational amplifiers. These op amps are designed for enhanced AC performance and are known for low distortion, low noise, wide bandwidth, and strong dynamic performance.
The OPA2604AU design supports wide dynamic range and uses laser trimmed offset voltage to help reduce the need for interstage coupling capacitors. The component is specified for a temperature range of minus 13°F to plus 185°F.
