Rockford Fosgate DSR1 8-Channel Interactive Signal Processor w/Integrated iDatalink Maestro Module

Price: $324.00 - $274.61
(as of Sep 19, 2024 14:05:16 UTC – Details)

The DSR1 is the first real solution for replacing the factory amplifier and speakers in Ford and Chrysler vehicles, as the DSR1 uses the full-range, flat audio signal from the factory source unit. After the built-in Maestro interface is flashed with the vehicle-specific firmware, the factory source unit CANbus messages are used to control the internal signal routing of the DSR1. The DSR1 still utilizes the power processor found in our patented 3Sixty.3, but adds an easy to use app for tuning from Apple and Android devices.

Title: Converts factory stereo to low level outputs to drive your amplifier(s)
Review: Installation was a breeze. The unit requires three updates/programming. If you follow the steps in the order given in the instructions, it works great. Miss one step and you’ll have problems. But easy to remedy by going back and follow the steps.The DSR1 has outputs for 8 channels. 4 are standard stereo outputs, one that is labeled “spare” channel and then the subwoofer outputs. I chose to use the iDataLink Maestro cable and features which allows for retaining all the factory controls.The systems, once tuned and amps set with proper gain sounds AMAZING! The Perfect Tunes software for the EQ and Crossovers is a bit overwhelming to learn to use. This is not a standard EQ, but a 31 channel EQ. There is a setting for a standard 6 bar EQ, but since I chose the Maestro features I can’t access that in Perfect Tunes as it relies on the factory head unit’s EQ settings which in my case is a 3 bar EQ…Bass, Mid and Treble. So what I did is set my speakers up to crossover settings with highs going to dash, mids going to front doors and bass going to rear doors. This allows me to use the trim levels to control what you normally control with an EQ. Between that and the 3 bar EQ on the HU I get a lot of control. If I need more control I go into the 31 bar EQ.This setup is not user intuitive. It will require a bit of a learning curve unless you’ve worked in audio before. It is pretty high level audiophile stuff. Read up on Rockford Fosgate 3.sixty as it has basically the same settings as the Perfect Tunes app.Update:9/24/2020-while making some adjustments to crossovers today the DSR1 locked up. My volume control did not affect volume of music coming out of speakers, although the display showed the volume control change it had no effect on the actual music coming out of the speakers. I turned off the vehicle and let it sit for a few minutes and then turned vehicle back on. Now I have no sound coming out of my speakers. Everything looks fine on the display but no sound. Had to remove the radio console from the dash since I mounted the DSR1 behind the radio, then unplug the harness from the DSR1 to get it to power down. Plugged it back in and everything is working again. So warning to others…mount this unit somewhere you can get to easily so you don’t have to tear into your dash every time it needs a reboot. Of course that requires the purchase of more cables to extend it to where you can mount it. I’m about to go shopping now for the cable extensions. Hopefully its plug and ply. I’m capable of making my own cable so I may go that route if I can’t find a premed extension so I can relocate the DSR1.

Title: Awesome product
Review: I absolutely love the product. Getting it setup wasn’t to hard and when it was installed it worked exactly like it was supposed to. The Rockford 300.4 amp was making the 2 component sets I installed sing loud and clear. The product showed up a day early and was well packaged. I’m only giving 3* for ease of install because of the proframming the unit, once you get that done the physical installation is very straight forward.

Title: 2016 Chevy 2500 non Bose 8″
Review: I was very skeptical of this with the reviews I saw and very little support or instruction for Chevy installs. Add the GM3 Maestro harness and its actually a very easy install however if your truck is loaded there isn’t room in the dash for it without a little modification, and if you put it too far out of the way the Bluetooth signal is easily lost for tuning. On mine there is a storage door where an ashtray would have normally been, I cut the top out with a Dremal and stored it there along with the punch eq know. Its clean easy to get too and I still have room for business cards. There are some good you tube videos on how to set this. Everything from the factory is about useless including the programming for a chevy. If you have the model I have and the GM3 harness…Do the factory update as shown and cap off the extra amp remote wires except the out on the DSR 1 itself. If your using the factory speaker wires splice those into the harness from you amp, connect the RCAs and your good to go. BTW I thought it would be slick and add some space to wire stuff but if you have a factory setup with CD, it has to be connected for it to work. It seems like you could just dump it…I mean who uses cds…but there is other stuff in besides the cd player that the system needs. Frustrating trying to find info on but other than that and the touchy blue tooth it works wonders. Oh and door chimes and what not work fine you just have to play with your gain controls to prevent them from being too loud…its all in the tuning. I do highly recommend you get the punch eq knob…its much easier than using the app…as you’ll be adjusting that frequently based on your music selction.

Title: Affordable quality DSP from Rockford
Review: For the price this has to be the most affordable quality DSP on the market. 4 channels of input and 8 channels of output was perfect for my needs. Independent volume, time alignment, crossover, and equalization for each individual channel it’s amazing. You can tailor each part of your system just the way you like. Adjustments are at your fingertips with the Perfect Tune app. I also have the PLC2 Wired level control which I assigned as a master volume. If you want to bring your sound system to life and have customization abilities a DSP is a must have and this is priced very well. Can’t go wrong with Rockford either. Once you get this don’t forget to update it. The update process is not the most user friendly but Five Star Car Stereo has excellent YouTube tutorials about this DSP and a dedicated YouTube video for the update process.

Title: Well worth it.
Review: A well priced introductory item into mobile proaudio. The bluetooth isnt insanely reliable but that for some reason is not uncommon. You may need to manually connect instad of the app opening and auto connecting. The package is small but may be had to work into you preexisting system. But it works well is faurly quick to make adjustments. And man can you make adjustments. High pass low pass band pass and how much roll iff you want with limitations.

Review: Installé par nécessité pour bypasser l’ampli d’origine et après des heures de réglages mon verdict est le suivant: Bluetooth à chi… pour faire les réglages bah faut être a dix centimètres max sinon bah tu y arrives pas, boitier en plastique médiocre, et qualité audio du DSP comparée a un alpine PXA H800 bah c est du pipi de nouveau né…

Review: Ein sehr gutes DSP.Man muss aber wissen, dass es mit dem Einbau eines DSPs nicht getan ist, denn dahinter benötigt es noch eine Endstufe.Das hatte ich selbst beim Studieren der heruntergeladenen Anleitung vor dem Kauf nicht erkannt, weil die Endstufen nur winzig klein angeschrieben waren. Ich dachte, dass das Stecker wären…Grundsätzlich bietet einem dieses DSP fast alles, was man sich als Soundfanatiker wünscht.Einzig eine Dynamikbassmöglichkeit fehlt. Aber es geht natürlich auch ohne, denn man kann mit dem 7 Band „Grund“-Equalizer nachträglich allgemein immer etwas nachregeln und wer möchte, kann diese Einstellungen dann als Presets speichern und bei Bedarf abrufen.Zusätzlich steht einem für jeden Lautsprecher getrennt ein 32 Band Equalizer zur Verfügung, mit dem man so gut, wie jede Frequenz hinein, und herausregeln kann. Besser geht es kaum noch.Aber auch die allgemeine Lautstärke, Bassboost, die Lautstärke die einzelnen Lautsprecher zueinander, der Zeitversatz jedes einzelnen Lautsprechers lassen sich mit der App auf Android aber auch Apple komfortabel regeln.Einziges Manko ist, dass die Reichweite des Bluetooth meiner Erfahrung nach nur ungefähr 30cm beträgt, was heisst, dass man das DSP zwingend in nächster Nähe des Fahrers unterbringen sollte.Bei meinem Skoda Octavia RS, der in der Mitte nur noch das flache Columbus Display mit viel Platz dahinter verbaut hat, konnte das DSP direkt dahinter eingebaut werden, so dass ich grundsätzlich auf dem Fahrersitz sehr guten Empfang habe, wenn ich das iPhone direkt vor das Radio halte.
