In the 2004 Zapco introduced in the market the first full function car DSP with an entire line of amplifiers with on-board DSP technology (the first DC Series). At that time, most dealers could not imagine that the DSP would become one of the most important innovations in Car Audio reproduction. At that time most people were thinking that digital technology would never be able to challenge analog sound in High-End sound reproduction. But that was then!

From 2004 to 2016 the digital technology has grown geometrically and Zapco introduced in the market its new 3rd generation of DSP products. Many new technologies have continued to come to digital processing and for the last two years Zapco has been working on the 4th and 5th generation of processors. The Gen-IV series of products for the general consumer market and the Gen-V series of product for the most demanding audiophile market and for the car audio competition venues.

The fifth generation of digital processors produced by Zapco is more than just a DSP. It proposes to manage the whole chain of the signal from the sound source up to the acoustic reproduction. An exchange of information on tuning and environmental characteristics where the acoustic system is working through a telematic connection will make the knowledge acquired by the Zapco universe immediate and available everywhere in the world. The fifth generation of the Zapco DSP is a flexible, modular and easy to install and use product. Digital technology is moving fast and the modular design of the Gen-V processors means upgrading will be a breeze and the processors will never be out of date or obsoleted.
