MATCH UP 8DSP MK2
The powerhouse with smart integration for your sound system
The MATCH UP 8DSP MK2 combines a powerful 8-channel Class GD amplifier with an integrated 9-channel DSP, delivering power and dynamics for an outstanding hi-fi upgrade while maintaining clean, OEM-friendly integration in the vehicle. In the MK2 generation, the concept has been further refined and adds key updates with a USB-C port and the Extension Card 2.0 slot for contemporary, expandable system integration.
Seamless integration and strong performance in a compact format
For optimal integration into existing factory systems, the UP 8DSP MK2 provides six highlevel inputs to tap the OEM speaker signals (including ADEP.3 for reliable interfacing with many factory head units), plus an optical digital input for integrating digital sources.
On the output side, it offers eight amplifier channels: 6 x 65 Watts RMS @ 4 Ω as well as two powerful subwoofer outputs with up to 2 x 90 / 160 Watts RMS @ 4 / 2 Ω maximum output power, combined with 9 processed DSP channels for precise signal processing and flexible sound tuning.
This combines performance and connectivity in a compact, space-saving design and adds further expandability in the MK2 generation: the new Extension Card 2.0 slot is included, a revised expansion system with a screw-secured plastic cover and cross-series compatibility. This allows modular expansion of the system integration when required, for example with Bluetooth® HD or additional analog or digital inputs. The USB-C port also enables modern access via DSP PC-Tool.
ACO – Advanced 32 Bit CoProcessor platform
Of course, the UP 8DSP MK2 is equipped with our proprietary 32 Bit ACO platform, which doesn’t just take over all control tasks ultra-fast, but also handles a bunch of audio functions: fantastic sound effects such as Augmented Bass Processing or RealCenter are implemented as well as a channel-separated Input EQ including Advanced Input Signal Analyzer (AISA) for easy analysis and compensation of input signals of OE radios, which already include a sound setup by default.
DSP PC-Tool 6 feat. TuneEQ – Powerful features for the ultimate sound experience
Of course, the MATCH UP 8DSP MK2 can be easily configured via our professional and exceptionally intuitive DSP PC-Tool 6. The familiar, numerous setting options leave nothing to be desired and guarantee an extremely precise sound adjustment even for complex system configurations. And thanks to the new, proprietary TuneEQ 2.0 as well as TuneToTarget functions for automated frequency response correction, you also save a lot of time when optimizing your sound.
Virtual Channel Processing – this is how signal routing works today
The optimal adaptation to existing multi-channel sound systems requires sensible management and configuration of the many DSP channels. Especially when front, rear and center systems are split into multi-way systems, conventional routing concepts quickly reach their limits, both in terms of implementation and usability. The multi-stage "Virtual Channel Processing", in conjunction with the recognized user-friendly DSP PC-Tool software makes it easy to map even highly complex system configurations and to freely assign our proprietary FX sound features. Additionally, thanks to its generous number of channels in combination with the optional Extension Card 2.0 – ANALOG IN the UP 8DSP MK2 is also a prime example for applications where 1 to 1 routing (IOR) makes sense.

Special features:
Class GD technology
Audiotec Fischer´s proprietary Class GD concept takes the efficiency of conventional Class D amps to the next level. By varying the internal supply voltage in several steps depending on the amplifier’s input signals, idle losses are significantly reduced and overall efficiency is close to maximum at any time. So heat dissipation is almost negligible, thus allowing smallest heat sinks and most compact form factors.
ACO – Advanced 32 Bit CoProcessor
The ACO platform (Advanced CoProcessor) handles all control and communication tasks within the DSP system. It ensures extremely fast system startups, lightning-fast switching between up to ten sound setups, and provides the decisive speed boost, especially in data communication with our DSP PC-Tool software.
ACO also serves as the foundation for a wide range of additional features – including SFX Sound Effects like “Augmented Bass Processing” and “RealCenter”, functions such as Dynamic Loudness Control (DLC) and Remote Tone Control (RTC), and a channel-separated input EQ with integrated Advanced Input Signal Analyzer (AISA) for easy analysis and correction of input signals with factory-applied equalization.
ACO stands for maximum performance, flexibility, and future-proof system architecture.
Smart highlevel input ADEP.3
Modern, factory-installed car radios incorporate sophisticated methods for diagnosing connected speakers. In particular, the latest generation of car radios is equipped with advanced monitoring functions, which can often lead to error messages or the loss of specific features (e.g., fader function) when a standard amplifier is connected.
The ADEP.3 circuit (Generation 3) meets the demands of these advanced OEM systems and ensures seamless integration. Controlled by the ACO platform, the system is future-proof and designed to flexibly adapt to changes in vehicle radio diagnostics.
This guarantees maximum compatibility with nearly all OE head units – without unnecessarily loading the speaker outputs at high volume levels.
Power Save Mode
The Power Save Mode allows to significantly reduce the power consumption of the amplifier (and any additional connected amplifiers) when no music signal is detected for a certain period of time.
When power save mode is active, the internal amplifier stages and the remote output are automatically switched off. Once a music signal is detected again, the device returns to normal operation within approximately 2 seconds. The switch-off delay can be adjusted or completely deactivated via the DSP PC-Tool software.
Automatic Digital Signal Detection
The amplifier allows signal-controlled switching between the analog inputs and the digital input. As soon as an input signal is detected on the Optical Input, the amplifier automatically switches to this input. This feature can be deactivated in the DSP PC-Tool software. Alternatively you can use an optional remote control for manual switching between analog and digital inputs.
Start-Stop capability
The switched power supply ensures a constant internal supply voltage even during short voltage drops down to 6 Volts (e.g. during engine start), so the functionality of the device remains stable and unaffected.
DSP features
TuneEQ
TuneEQ is an extremely flexible and particularly easy-to-use function for automated frequency response correction. A single measurement per audio channel or channel pair with a suitable measurement microphone (e.g. our AMI Tuning Kit) is sufficient for TuneEQ to independently and precisely adjust the equalizers to the desired reference curve. TuneEQ uses the full function set of the parametric equalizer including center frequency, Q-factor and gain adjustment. And since the highly complex arithmetic operations required for this run in the background, you also save a lot of time when optimizing your sound with TuneEQ.
RealCenter
The “RealCenter” feature is an algorithm, developed by Audiotec Fischer, that emphasizes the music information which is present in both the left and right front channel to create a unique center signal. In contrast to common procedures, in which only the channels are summed up, the intensity of the center signal is also dynamically controlled by the stereophonic informational content of the left and right channel.
Sounds complicated but this effect is astonishing: That means if solely the left or right channel delivers an audio signal, the center channel will not reproduce a signal. In the case of common algorithms, the volume level of the center channel is only reduced by 6 dB (= half volume level). Audiotec Fischer’s “RealCenter” allows a unique, broadened sound staging for both driver and co-driver at the same time! Therefore, the disadvantages of a conventional center channel, such as an intrusive, small sound stage, are things of the past.
Augmented Bass Processing
Audiotec Fischer’s proprietary “Augmented Bass Processing”, consisting of the two revolutionary sound features “Dynamic Bass Enhancement” and “SubXpander”, has been especially developed to dramatically improve the bass reproduction of subwoofers.
The “Dynamic Bass Enhancement” ingeniously combines maximum deep bass and highest sound pressure – regardless of the music style or the tone controls in the head unit. Depending on the input signal, the “Dynamic Bass Enhancement” gains the lower frequency range and varies the cut-off frequency of the subsonic filter. The result is a significantly more powerful and deeper bass response at low and medium volume levels without the risk of overloading the subwoofer neither mechanically nor electrically at high volume levels. It is simply fascinating which bass performance is suddenly possible.
If you want an even lower and “darker” bass reproduction, the “SubXpander” can be additionally activated. Therefore, subharmonic tones are added to the fundamental tones in the frequency range between 50 and 100 Hz.
