Mosconi Gladen Pico 8-Channel Amplifier with 12 DSP - PICO 8/10 DSP 18V

Mosconi Gladen PICO 8/12 18V Pico 8-Channel Amplifier with 12 DSP
Designed to be as small as possible for a complete audio system, the Gladen Pico 8|12 offers impeccable control of input signals and includes a universal interface to connect with OEM head units. It boasts a 3×9 band parametric equaliser, the option to deal with any delays and differences in level (gain) on its inputs plus a flexible mixer for signal routing. The high-speed PWM stages process 96kHz/24-bit audio streams directly, with 12 channels of DSP feeding eight Class G/H amplifiers. As the first Mosconi Gladen device to work directly with the Gladen Aures in-car measuring system, it makes integration easier than ever. It provides automatic DSP setup and centre channel management, with mixing, straight summation or special algorithm matrix options all possible.
Key Features
- Perfect OEM Integration
Powerful DSP amplifier optimized for factory radio use. Four analog inputs, flexible routing, 3 x input EQ and delay. With 8 x 50 Watts ideal for active multi-way systems and extensive installations. Ready for the future with two digital inputs (SP-Dif and BT+) and two processed line outs. - Signal Controlled Power Supply
In contrast to Class G/H, the power supply is only switched on when required (high levels) and regulated depending on the power demand. Benefit: The quiescent current is between 250 mA and 450 mA (depending on the speaker circuitry) -> Especially interesting for electromobility and motorhomes - Transducerless High-Speed PWM Power Amplifiers
High-efficiency PWM amplifiers with the fastest carrier frequency in the world today (> 2 MHz), enables HiRes audio transmission and the extremely small size. The modulation is done without DAC directly from the 96 kHz TDM signal of the DSP, thus the noise floor is close to zero and THD+N ~ 0.02 % / 1 W.

Approximate Dimensions
-
The amplifier supports multiple input types including 4 balanced analog high-level inputs (up to 30V), 2 switchable analog inputs (high/low level), 1 digital optical SP-DIF input with 8 kHz to 96 kHz sampling rate, and a Bluetooth port with SP-DIF TTL for wireless streaming modules. Additionally, it offers an extended Bluetooth digital audio port (BT+) capable of handling 2 to 16 channel audio sources synchronously at sample rates up to 384 kHz.
-
It features an extensive integrated DSP with a 3x9 band parametric EQ for inputs, 6 input delays adjustable from 0 to 3ms, detailed input level digital control, and a flexible mixer for signal routing. It also includes multiple output filters including highpass, lowpass, shelf, notch, and allpass filters, along with 12 speaker delays with a resolution of 0.01 ms and speaker phase switch options, providing advanced signal processing for precise sound tuning.
-
The amplifier delivers 450 watts RMS per channel and features eight channels each providing 60 watts into 3-ohm stable loads. The total possible output power can reach up to 480 watts, making it suitable for driving a complete audio system efficiently.
-
Yes, the amplifier is designed with a very compact size and low heat generation, making it ideal for installation behind cladding or in other confined spaces where space is limited without sacrificing performance.
-
While the amplifier does not include a remote control or volume knob, it provides a range of control connections, including USB serial data for PC/GUI connection, remote connectors, and Bluetooth control ports compatible with specific Mosconi control modules, allowing flexible integration with vehicle systems.
