The Flex HT is miniDSP’s answer to our customers looking for a pocket sized multichannel processor with HDMI ARC/eARC capabilities . Our team was able to cram a full eight channels of DSP power and a wide range of I/O into the unbelievably compact enclosure. Eight-channel audio input is via eARC linear PCM over HDMI 1 , or USB Audio.
Additional stereo input is supported over SPDIF and TOSLINK optical. Internally, we’ve provided a full suite of miniDSP flexible’s routing and audio processing features:
bass management, parametric EQ, crossovers, advanced biquad programming and delay/gain adjustments.
In addition, the miniDSP Flex HT is software-upgradable with full-frequency Dirac Live®, the world’s premiere room correction system. The eight-channel analog RCA  outputs feature class-leading low noise and distortion figures. In addition, wireless digital output to WiSA wireless speakers and subwoofers is provided as standard. An  OLED front panel display and volume control/encoder knob provides easy control. The miniDSP Flex HT is the perfect solution for a modern compact processor for home theater and multichannel sound. You just need to let your creativity do the rest!

  1. The Flex HT does not support bitstream (e.g. Dolby/DTS) decoding. The audio source must be able to output linear PCM (LPCM) for multichannel support over HDMI. Please check your device user manual.
