About the Crestron DSP-860

The DSP-860 uses the Avia hybrid channel strip architecture, with customisable inputs and outputs and eight internal aux buses, in an 8x6 format. It is ready to use out of the box and can be configured extensively. Setup and adjustment happen in real time in the Avia Audio Tool, live over a USB or LAN connection, or offline using a virtual DSP.

Native Crestron control integration reduces the programming needed, and components from the Avia Audio Tool can be exported as a Smart Graphics file with ready-to-use SmartObject elements for touch screen design. The DSP-1280 and DSP-1281 are the larger 12x8 Avia models, with the DSP-1281 adding Dante and AES67. Check connector and mounting details against the existing unit before replacing it.

Questions about the Crestron DSP-860

What is the Crestron DSP-860?

It is a Crestron Avia 8x6 digital signal processor. It processes, mixes and routes audio using a hybrid channel strip architecture with customisable inputs and outputs and eight internal aux buses, and it integrates natively with Crestron control systems.

What is the difference between the DSP-860 and the DSP-1280?

Both are Crestron Avia digital signal processors with the same listed processing features, including the hybrid channel strip architecture and eight internal aux buses. The DSP-860 is an 8x6 processor, while the DSP-1280 is 12x8. The DSP-1281 is the 12x8 model with Dante and AES67 support.

How is the DSP-860 configured?

It is set up with Crestron's Avia Audio Tool software. Configuration and adjustment can be done live and in real time over a USB or LAN connection, or a virtual DSP can be configured offline. The processor is also ready to use out of the box before detailed configuration.

How does the DSP-860 work with Crestron control?

Avia offers native Crestron control system integration, which reduces the programming required. Components chosen in the Avia Audio Tool can be exported as a Smart Graphics file containing ready-to-use SmartObject elements, which cuts down touch screen interface design work.

Where is the DSP-860 used?

Avia processors are aimed at spaces that need professional audio processing, mixing and routing, such as meeting spaces, performance venues, courtrooms, sports facilities and houses of worship. The DSP-860 provides 8x6 processing with eight internal aux buses for these applications.

How much is the Crestron DSP-860?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the DSP-860 directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Can 1Install supply, install and programme the DSP-860?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the DSP-860 on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Does the DSP-860 come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the DSP-860 develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.

Is the DSP-860 in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the DSP-860 without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. If you are not sure it suits your system, send us the part numbers you already have and we will check.
