ZDAP-MB1 Plug & Play DSP Kit Mercedes 2018>

Transform your vehicle’s audio experience with the ZDAP-MB1 DSP Power Up Kit, engineered to deliver exceptional sound quality. This plug-and-play kit includes a powerful 4x70W RMS Class A/B DSP amplifier and all the necessary premium-quality harnesses for seamless installation and maximum performance. No vehicle modifications required – just plug it in and enjoy an enhanced listening experience.

ZDA4.8 – DSP Amplifier

The ZDA4.8 DSP amplifier sets a new standard for in-car audio, surpassing factory-installed amplifiers. Unlike Class D amplifiers, which are common in similar products, the ZDA4.8 uses Class A/B technology, providing warmer and more natural sound quality.
Even without DSP adjustments, sound clarity is significantly improved, but the built-in DSP functionality allows you to fine-tune and optimize your audio system to match your preferences, regardless of music taste.

ZDC & ZDT Harness Benefits

• The ZDT harness seamlessly connects behind the OEM head unit without any wire cutting, ensuring reliable power supply, clear signal transmission, and reduced noise, thanks to twisted cables and oversized power and ground wires.
• The ZDC harness extends the connection to the ZDA4.8 DSP amplifier under the front seat, enabling clean installation and enhanced audio performance.
• Together, they provide efficient integration and exceptional sound quality.

Fitment

The ZDAP-MB1 is specifically designed for Mercedes-Benz vehicles from 2018 onward. For a detailed list of compatible models, refer to our Vehicle Application List.

Technical Specifications & Features

OIS – OEM Impedance Simulation

The ZDA4.8 is equipped with OEM Impedance Simulation (OIS), ensuring compatibility with modern head units and amplifiers. By simulating speaker impedance, it maintains OEM functionality while preventing potential plug-and-play installation issues.

Input Priority – Intelligent Audio Input Management

This feature ensures seamless integration with your vehicle’s existing audio system. You can use low-level inputs or digital sources, such as Bluetooth, Optical, or Coaxial, without losing essential system sounds like parking sensors, alerts, and radio signals.
If your vehicle’s sound system has a high-pass filter that limits bass output, you can bypass this limitation by streaming audio directly to the DSP via Bluetooth while retaining full OEM functionality.

DSP Outputs

The ZDA4.8 DSP amplifier allows for audio system expansion:

• Four DSP-configurable RCA outputs (Channels 5-8)
• Support for additional amplifiers, such as a subwoofer amplifier
• Full optimization via DSP software
• Time delay, filtering, and equalizer settings for optimal performance

Advanced DSP Software

Gain full control over your audio system with the free, user-friendly PC software (Windows 10 & 11). Connect via the included USB-B cable and access advanced audio tuning tools:

• 31-band Parametric EQ (PEQ) for precise frequency adjustments
• Selectable filter types (Bessel, Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley) with adjustable slopes from -6dB to -48dB
• Time alignment with a built-in delay calculator
• Fully customizable channel routing
• Advanced linking options to copy or relate channels

With these advanced features, you can fine-tune your audio system exactly to your preferences.
