JL TwK 88 ships

JL Audio announced it is shipping two new processors–the TwK 88 and TwK D8– with digital signal processing (DSP) to tune car audio systems and improve sound quality.

They  work with aftermarket car radios or they can work an OEM radio (but with an OEM radio they require use of an OEM integration device, such as the JL Audio FiX).

The TwKs offer 24 bit processing and both have eight 10-band graphic or parametric equalizers, up to 48dB per octave crossovers for each output, and channel delay capability.

They follow the release of the JL Audio FiX OEM integration devices last year.  “We separated the tasks of OEM integration and system tuning into two separate products,” said JL Audio’s Manville Smith.  “The integration product is called the FiX and the system tuning product is called the TwK.  The reason is you don’t always need the OEM integration.  For example, you could be using an aftermarket head unit with RCA outputs and don’t need OEM integration and just need to buy the TwK.”

The TwK requires use of a PC running TüN software that can be downloaded from JLaudio.com/tun.  It has a simple set up tool and a user interface to tune the system “in a matter of minutes,” said the company.  You can save up to six presets that reside on the TwK and users can scroll through the presets via an optional control knob.

Suggested retail prices are $429 .99 for the TwK 88 and $379.99 for the TwK D8.
