miniDSP is a Hong Kong-based developer of audio DSP and measurement platforms, founded in 2009. Its catalogue includes crossover processors, room-correction systems and measurement hardware, with Flex illustrating a configurable two-input, four-output processor and optional Dirac Live licensing.
About this resource
miniDSP designs and manufactures digital signal-processing platforms for audio applications from its Hong Kong headquarters. Founded in 2009, it serves audiophiles, integrators and system designers with processors and measurement tools. Its catalogue encompasses active crossovers, home-theatre and streaming processors, USB measurement microphones and headphone fixtures rather than just one automatic room-correction product. [1] [3]
The Flex provides a concrete example: a compact two-input, four-output processor offered with different analogue or digital connection arrangements. Its processing includes parametric EQ, IIR and FIR filters, crossover functions and per-output delay, with digital inputs including USB, S/PDIF and Bluetooth. The front-panel display and volume control also allow use as a small stereo preamplifier within suitable systems. [2]
Dirac Live is an optional paid upgrade for Flex, not included by default, and a measurement microphone is separately selectable. The official application notes address active two-way crossovers, subwoofer integration and EQ workflows using Room EQ Wizard. UMIK-1 and UMIK-2 are measurement entry points, while the product and manual pages clarify output configuration and software compatibility before a processor is placed between source, amplifiers and speakers.

Dirac Live Room Correction
tool
Dirac Live Room Correction measures a speaker system at multiple listening positions and generates playback correction filters. It runs through compatible audio devices or a separate computer-audio processor, with licensing distinctions for correction bandwidth, channels and additional bass or speaker-cooperation features.

ARTA
tool
ARTA is a PC sound-card measurement suite combining impulse and spectrum analysis, stepped-sine testing and loudspeaker impedance measurements. Version 1.9.8 became freeware in December 2024 after ARTALABS closed, so this is an available software resource rather than an active software company.
