What does DSP mean?
top The letters DSP stand for Digital Signal Processing. Your signal is the information that gets picked up from your DVD or CD, flows through your system, and eventually emerges as music or movie soundtrack. Signal processing refers to just about everything your sound system does to your signal — anything from raising it from a preamp to an audible level, to boosting or cutting bass and treble, all the way to making your living room sound like a stadium or a movie theater. Digital Signal Processing performs that type of signal manipulation in the digital domain. That is, it deals with your signal not as a continuous stream but as a series of “zeros and ones”.DSP`s most common applications are the re-creation of various acoustic environments in our living room, so we can listen to Miles Davis play in a “jazz club” and the Benedictine Monks chant in a “cathedral”.
