The Flex HTx is the bigger brother of the Flex HT, targeting the need for a multichannel processor with HDMI ARC/eARC capabilities and stellar analog and USB audio capabilities. Within a single rack unit, we packed all the possible connectivity we could fit.

Eight-channel audio input is via analog audio (RCA and TRS), eARC linear PCM over HDMI1, or USB Audio. Additional digital stereo input is supported over SPDIF and TOSLINK optical. Internally, we’ve provided a full suite of miniDSP’s flexible routing and audio processing features: bass management, parametric EQ, crossovers, advanced biquad programming and delay/gain adjustments. In addition, the miniDSP Flex HTx is software-upgradable with full-frequency Dirac Live®, the world’s premiere room correction system.

Continuing miniDSP’s focus on affordable high-performance audio, the Flex HTx features class-leading low noise and distortion figures. An OLED front panel display and volume control/encoder knob provides easy control.

The miniDSP Flex HTx is the perfect solution for a modern compact processor for home theater and multichannel sound.

REMINDER: Please note that the Flex HTx does not support bitstream (e.g. Dolby/DTS) decoding. The audio source must be able to output linear PCM (LPCM) for multichannel support over HDMI.

NOTE: The UMIK-1/2 are measurement microphones approved by Dirac Research. Knowing the major effect a wrong calibration/measurement would have on the final results of Dirac Live tuning, we strongly recommend that you select a UMIK-1/2 microphone together with your platform for a plug&play experience leading to best results. Any issues related to 3rd party microphones such as ASIO/USB audio driver incompatibility/Latency problems or incorrect calibration process will not be under our support structure by our support team.

Great stuff!
Color: #3 Rose Gold
Trying to give 4.5 stars. It’s phenomenal! My only .5 is that is absolutely does rub off on clothing. I’m going to a party tomorrow and I’ll try using setting spray after application. I love it though. Light weight, no odor and shimmer you can use on body, hair and even accessories!

Beautiful, Subtle, Long Lasting Sparkle
Color: #3 Rose Gold
Sprays easily and seems long lasting, (stayed on for more than 3 hours of light household work). The glitter is very fine, and that’s exactly what I wanted, it is not visible dots or shapes- my arms just sparkled when I moved them and with the changing light. Feels like nothing is there. Nice! Doesn’t feel especially moisturizing, but hasn’t dried my skin out either.

Great to have this on hand
Color: #3 Rose Gold
I bought the rose gold to add some shimmer to my body and hair. It's the right amount of shimmer to stand out. Looks super cute, it sticks easily and when you wash it off, the glitter comes off easily. The smell isn't the best, but it isn't terrible. I just use my own fragrance after I put this on. I love the glow it gives my skin and the shimmer it gives my hair. I'm going to buy this product again. Second time buying this and I love it!
