Even though most vehicles these days have a factory-fit audio system, more demanding consumers require uncompromisingly superior in-car sound quality… With direct inspiration from the requirements of its Performance Range, Focal is able to provide the last word in ultimate amplification solutions, the DSA 500 RT.

DSA 500 RT is a revolutionary “All In One” concept which transforms your installation into a true hi-fi system. For a musical, vibrant in-car listening experience, high-performance amplification with bespoke sound corrections driving specific speakers is a given. The final requirement for comfortable listening is a bass component. With its DSA 500 RT, Focal has solved the installation conundrum: just one item to be installed, to be connected to quality speakers if owners wish to replace the original-fit solution. DSA 500 RT is an active bass unit integrating a subwoofer, a signal processor and a Class D three-channel amplifier providing output to two front speakers and the subwoofer. This innovative concept provides a significant improvement on the usual weak points of original-fit equipment: sound precision, thanks to its DSP adjustable in real time by its FOCAL MANAGER RT software, the power and dynamism of its on-board digital amplification, and finally, its bass with a high linear excursion subwoofer.

Thanks to its high and low-level connectors, this unit is compatible with every car radio, including factory-fit (OEM). Compact (just 14 litres internal), the DSA 500 RT fits into the boot of even the smallest city car. Its FOCAL MANAGER RT software finally means every audiophile can share or recover the most appropriate pre-set for his or her vehicle, while beginners can meet experienced systems setters on the dedicated web service.
