In addition Auto EQ the SA1000DSP has three additional EQ bands for a grand total of eight bands of fully parametric EQ. All bands include a 0.4 to 14 continuously variable Q, and range from 20Hz to 200Hz with -12dB to +6dB of adjustment. Each of the five bands controlled by the Auto EQ can also be adjusted to operate as high and low pass filters, bass and treble shelves, or notch filters; providing supreme control of the system EQ.

The SA1000DSP is built for connectivity. The Input section accepts +4dB and -10dB line-level signals on either stereo RCA connections of Balanced XLR as well as digital audio on a Coaxial SPDIF connection. Ensuring compatibility with almost any source, these inputs are mirrored on the XLR and RCA outputs for building an expanded system with multiple zones or subwoofers. The two amplified channels can power 2 ohm, 4 ohm, and 8 ohm speakers in stereo and can be bridged to power 4 ohm speakers at 1150 watts. Additionally, the SA1000DSP features an ethernet port for connecting to a data network, and 12 volt trigger inputs and outputs for integration into automated systems.
