What do the PAC Amp Pro, Nav TV Zen, Mobridge DA1 MOST25, iDatalink DSR1 and Metra AXDSP all have in common? Most of these products are designed to function as a digital Preamp adapter for your car audio system. These car audio preamp adapters are NOTHING like a line output converter. In fact, some of the BEST sound car audio systems we have ever done were with a factory stereo while utilizing a digital preamp adapter like the Nav TV Zen for example.
So why would you want to use a PAC Amp Pro, Nav TV Zen or Mobridge car audio preamp??? When you have a vehicle where you either cannot or do not want to change the radio, but you want to upgrade the sound system.
How do the PAC Amp Pro, NAV TV Zen and Mobridge DA1 work exactly? Generally speaking, if your vehicle is 2007 or later and equipped with a "Premium" stock audio system, chances are pretty good that the audio signal coming from the factory radio may be digital UNTIL it reaches the stock amplifier. At the stock car audio amplifier is where that clean signal gets processed and divvied up amongst the various speakers in the car.
The PAC Amp Pro, NAV TV Zen and Mobridge DA1 are designed to INTERCEPT that audio signal WHILE it's still digital - BEFORE it's been processed. In other words, while it's still clean, while it's still just data - one's and zero's. By catching the audio signal before the stock amp (Pre amplifier) you can then route that clean, unprocessed audio signal to your aftermarket amplifiers/DSP and speakers.
You can either use the digital to analog converter in the PAC Amp Pro, Nav TV Zen or Mobridge DA1 and go RCA out OR keep it digital with a Toslink adapter and go into a DSP or DSP/Amp combo. The whole point is to catch the audio signal at it's cleanest rather than catching it AFTER the amp where it's already been processed and then trying to clean it up with a DSP. The less signal processing the better!
So is the PAC Amp Pro really clean? What does the signal look like? John and Annie test the PAC Amp Pro with their Audio Control DM-RTA Oscilloscope to show you how clean the signal is with a factory radio in a 2020 Jeep Wrangler. Watch and find out!
