BASIC DSP SETTING / CONFIGURACIÓN DSP BÁSICA Download the DSP8.8BT on the App Store or Google Play Descargue el DSP8.8BT en App Store o Google Play EQ SCREEN: From this page you can get to all settings. We recommend that you look at all the pages and get familiar with all the possible settings. EQ should NOT be your first settings!! We recommend going to Delay/Gain page and presetting gains for all channels used. Then go to the CROSSOVER page and preset all your crossovers.
DSP8.8BT INPUT GAIN: It is a fact that very few people, including professional installers, know how to set gains correctly. Failure to do so yields higher distortion, a higher noise floor which decreases dynamic headroom, less than optimum operating conditions for electronic equipment, and a higher failure rate for both the electronic equipment and transducers alike. While most people set this control by ear to how loud they want their music, this is not the intent of this control. The range is from 0.
INDIVIDUAL GAIN SETTING: This the important. MAKE SURE that ALL your amplifiers are NOT connected (They are powered off). Now PRESET the individual gain controls channel by channel. Setup ALL channels - tweeters, midrange/ mid-bass, woofers to -6dB. Set MASTER level to -6dB also. With the DSP8.8BT GAINS set up this way... plus you're presetting the amplifiers input gain controls. You'll still have over 12dB of gain to work with BEFORE increasing GAIN on each of the amplifiers.
DSP8.8BT BASIC SETUP - CROSSOVER SETTINGS / CONFIGURACIÓN BÁSICA - AJUSTES DE CROSSOVER SISTEMA TOTALMENTE ACTIVO: FULLY ACTIVE SYSTEM: Knowing the basic starting x-over frequencies for each speaker as described on the previous page. Start setting the X-Over up. For this example we will assume a FULLY active system with a 2-way front system NO rear fill speakers and subwoofers. 5/6 Channel. Conociendo las frecuencias básicas de inicio de x-over para cada alta voz como se describe en la página anterior.
DELAY/GAIN - BASIC GAIN SETTINGS AND POLARITY CHECK RETARDO/GANANCIA - CONFIGURACIÓN DE GANANCIA BÁSICA Y COMPROBACIÓN DE POLARIDAD DELAY/GAIN - POLARITY SETTING This is also the best time to make sure ALL speakers are in phase. There are FREE Polarity apps online that can help you do this. AGAIN, super important phase. You can easily adjust the phase from this screen, just tap the bottom BLUE rectangle with the O inside this will switch the speaker 180 "Out of Phase" which may put it back INTO phase.
DSP8.8BT SETTINGS PAGE - OFF ANY SCREEN On the Settings page you can see what source(s) you are using and pick between them. You can also see all the Bluetooth devices that you may have paired up to DSP8.8BT app. And choose between Those also. Down at the bottom are 2 settings: - Refresh Device list This will be useful when you set up this up with your installer/tuner and you. You can choose yourself or your installer can pick himself.
saved settings Pick the one you want to be The setting The EQ / GAIN / PHASE / DELAY setting. Let’s say it is the 66666 saved file that is shown highlighted to the left. Since it is highlighted it is THE selection. To sync data from DSP8.8BT to DSP8.8BT APP, click on the top bar with the white outlined box and arrow pointing down. It takes one minute to sync data from DSP8.8BT. With this many settings, you can now pick and choose what your vehicle sounds like. Be it a car, truck, UTV, motorcycle, or boat.
DSP8.8BT Q ADJUST: Q (or width) of the frequency is adjusted. Q's of 1 is very wide, Q of 18 is very narrow as shown below on the APP itself. To change Q simply slide the light blue "Q" bar. Or TAP +/-. SPECIAL NOTE: An RTA is an ABSOLUTE necessity to adjust ANY audio system that has an equalizer, especially 1/3 octave. AN EXAMPLE OF FREQUENCY AND Q The example to the left shows you what happens at a frequency when Q is adjusted differently at different frequencies.
TIME ALIGNMENT Once we have levels, phase and gains pretty much set. It’s time to do Time Alignment. Think of all this preset up as prepping a car to be painted. If you’ve ever painted a car, it’s ALL about the prep work. Paint (in our case Time Alignment) is the finishing touches. And up till now it was ALL just getting ready for this part! It is important that we do this methodically. Some experts say to Time Align BEFORE EQ the system. Some say do it after. It is up to YOU. Both ways work.
DSP8.8BT FINAL SETTINGS At this point, you are pretty much done, we recommend that you live with the initial setup (EQ / Time Delay / Gains) for a week and THEN make adjustments. Also do not spend too much time "tweaking" the system. Once you have gains set CORRECTLY and have checked "Phase" acoustically (with a Phase Meter which is built into the Audio Tools APP) Spend LESS than 45 minutes EQ your system.
