- Input Mixer: Allows combining left and right input channels with full control over level and polarity.
- Equalization: 8 banks of 10-band graphic or parametric equalizers with configurable EQ assignment.
- Crossover Section: Fully variable high-pass and low-pass filters with selectable slopes from 6 dB/octave to 48 dB/octave (in 6 dB/octave increments).
- Polarity and Delay Settings: Configurable settings for speaker distance and offset control, with linkage options for other channels.
- Output Level Controls: Adjustable in 0.5 or 0.1 dB increments, with full linkage options.
- Analog Outputs: 8 analog line-level RCA output jacks (4V RMS).
- Digital Optical Output: Pass-through digital audio (S/PDIF) signal from any pair of input channels, with no signal processing applied.
- DRC-200 Digital Remote Controller: Includes dual level controls, preset toggles, and LED indicator.
- PC Connectivity: Control the TwK® D8’s features via Windows PC using the TüN® Software interface.
Inputs: The input side of the TwK88 has the following jacks:
- Optical Digital: The only input on the TwKD8, this can accept a 2-channel PCM signal from a device with an optical digital output.
- USB Port: A Type-B, 2.0 USB port is used for connection to the TuN 2.0 software and for firmware updates.
- JLID Port: This RJ-45 port is used for the DRC-200 Digital Remote Control.
Outputs:
