Does anyone use one of these Bunker DSP rack units?
Or know how they compare to the other DSP units on the market?
I'd never heard of the brand before...

That's seldom a good thing. They don't appear to be sold in the US.

Very strange though, as the one I found is listed on US e-bay...

Probably someone self-imported it.

Looks like there are three on ebay right now. They are touting Burr-Brown ICs in the posting. I don't know what to think about it.

Well, I'm curious. Anyone have a desire to do an evaluation? Particularly someone (unlike myself) with a DBX or Beringher to compare.

If there's no website there's no company. If there's no company there's no support.

Hope you speak Espanol though, as there doesn't seem to be an English option.

Great for salsa music.
Seriously, though, I contacted the company en espanol to see about an evaluation unit.
They do light controllers, power distro, and make a ton of amps. I wonder what the exchange rate is on Watts per Channel... (no voltage info--I've asked, though).
