ARC Audio DSP Foundation
ARC Audio DSP Starts with a Correct Signal Path
A processor can only work with the signal it receives. Before choosing Blackbird, Falcon, PSM-PRO, or another ARC DSP path, SMS identifies the source, factory processing, retained features, input channels, output plan, amplification, and the tuning control the system actually needs.
Choose the ARC DSP path by system architecture.

DSP is the control center—not a substitute for correct installation.
Good tuning begins after the source signal, channel routing, driver mounting, polarity, gain structure, and crossover responsibilities are correct.
Map the InputsMeasure and document the usable factory or aftermarket signal, level, bandwidth, delay, polarity, processing, and behavior at different volumes.
Plan the OutputsAssign every driver, amplifier channel, crossover, control, preset, and subwoofer path before building the configuration.
Calibrate the SystemSet gains, polarity, filters, level, delay, phase through crossover regions, and equalization from measured evidence.
Verify the ResultCheck multiple listening positions and volume levels, confirm retained vehicle functions, listen for resonances, and save a documented final configuration.
Where Music Matters
The tune begins before the software opens.
Send the vehicle, factory audio package, source unit, current equipment, amplifier and speaker layout, and the problem you are trying to solve. SMS can supply ARC DSP hardware alone or complete the OEM integration, installation, routing, and tuning.
