ALCHIMIST AD-801: Premium 10-Channel Digital Signal Processor with Integrated Amplification

The ALCHIMIST AD-801 represents the pinnacle of German audio engineering—a meticulously crafted Digital Signal Processor (DSP) fused with a high-fidelity 4-channel amplifier. Designed for discerning audiophiles and professional installers, the AD-801 delivers uncompromising sound reproduction through advanced audio processing, ultra-low distortion, and precise tuning capabilities. Whether optimizing a multi-way active system or refining a high-end factory integration, this compact yet powerful unit ensures studio-grade clarity, seamless signal routing, and unparalleled control over every acoustic nuance.

Key Features

  • Audiophile-Grade Digital Signal Processing: Equipped with a high-resolution 24-bit / 48 kHz DAC and the proprietary A7735 audio IC, the AD-801 achieves ultra-low distortion (≤ 0.01% THD) and a signal-to-noise ratio of ≥ 90 dB, preserving the integrity of lossless audio formats for pristine playback.
  • 10-Channel Flexible Output Matrix: Four high-level powered outputs (4 x 150W peak) drive front-stage speakers directly, while eight low-level RCA outputs enable complex system configurations—ideal for 3-way active front stages, rear fills, or subwoofer integration.
  • Precision DSP Tuning Suite: The dedicated PC software provides granular control with a 31-band parametric EQ per channel, adjustable crossover slopes (6–48 dB/octave), and digital time alignment for flawless acoustic imaging. Fine-tune phase, delay, and frequency response to match any vehicle’s acoustics.
  • Lossless Audio Compatibility: Supports high-fidelity lossless formats (FLAC, WAV, ALAC) without compression artifacts, ensuring every detail of your music is faithfully reproduced.
  • Ultra-Compact, Installation-Friendly Design: Measuring just 6.5" x 5.1" x 1.7" (165 x 130 x 43 mm), the AD-801 fits discreetly under seats, behind dashboards, or in tight engine bays without sacrificing performance.
