DSP stands for digital signal processing, which in practical terms means hardware units dedicated solely to processing audio signals with EQs, compressors, reverbs and other effects without depending on a computer’s CPU for the task - contrary to “native” processors which rely only on computers for processing. DSP Audio Systems have the advantage of offering true zero latency monitoring with effects whilst also offloading our computers on hybrid systems with DSP and native processing.
