Are DSP products compatible with analog products? Can I mix analog 8000 Series with the DSP loudspeakers?
The analog input sensitivity of 8000 and 8200 Series loudspeakers is the same so product substitution is possible. The back panel acoustical controls are also identical so copying the settings will achieve the same acoustical response in the room. However, DSP systems exhibit a short throughput latency (<5 ms) whereas analog products do not, therefore analog and DSP loudspeakers should not be mixed in the same system. An exception to this rule is where analog 7000 Series subwoofers are integrated with DSP loudspeakers using the analog inputs.
