OEM Audio Integration

June 27, 2021

Factory (OEM) head-units have evolved into fully integrated entertainment hubs, typically interconnected with supplementary vehicle controls, safety system displays and other critical vehicle functions. The days of “replacing the radio” are long-gone, and instead, we are required to work with the vehicle’s OEM source unit. We saw this trend emerging over a decade ago, and we introduced the world’s first auto-correcting DSP OEM interface, the Cleansweep CL441dsp (in 2004).

Since then, our commitment to creating advanced OEM integration products has only intensified. Today’s JL Audio FiX™ line of OEM Integration DSPs is incredibly advanced, and fully armed to deal with the challenges presented by modern factory audio systems, without interfering with vehicle functionality, safety or reliability.

Equipped with a powerful 24-bit DSP, with proprietary programming and correction algorithms, a FiX™ DSP combines the functions of a powerful audio analyzer, line output converter, digital delay, signal-summing preamplifier and multiple 30-band equalizers. These functional blocks are programmed to measure multiple factory audio signals, level match them, correct any delay, sum them, and then equalize them for flat response. All of this happens automatically, with the press of a button. The results are clean, flat audio signals you can build your dream system around.

By connecting a PC running our TüN™ Software, the FiX™ processors also offer 10-bands per output channel of user-adjustable graphic equalization, plus a full suite of signal analysis tools that help confirm and troubleshoot the integration process.

No other OEM integration product does what FiX™ can do.
