Comparison With the PS8AMP Package
Feature | PS8 + TD Package | PS8 + PS8AMP Package |
---|---|---|
Amplifier | External (your choice) | Integrated PS8AMP |
DSP Processing | TD Controller | Internal DSP |
Flexibility | Higher (modular) | Simpler plug-and-play |
Expandability | Easily scalable | More fixed pairing |
Portability | Slightly more gear | Fewer components |
Both are fantastic options, but the TD Controller-based version offers greater customization and integration options, especially in fixed installs and complex setups.
