ANTI-MODE 2.0 DUALCORE
OWNER'S MANUAL
9.Audio Connections
Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core's connectivity allows building very different kinds of audio
systems with it. Below are listed some of the most typical scenarios. You can find more
examples from our website, www.dspeaker.com.
➢ Dual Core as a 2-channel pre-amplifier and DAC
Connect audio sources to Dual Core's inputs. You can connect up to three
sources using USB, Toslink (S/PDIF) and one of the analog inputs. External
switchers and converters can be used to extend the number and types of
connections.
Connect Dual Core to your amplifier using the XLR or RCA outputs.
➢ Using Dual Core as a digital-only audio processor
Connect audio sources to Toslink (and/or USB) inputs. Connect Toslink output to
an external DAC. In this mode, Dual Core's volume control is not active.
➢ Using as an audio processor with integrated amplifier
Use a DSP processor loop or tape monitor loop to connect Dual Core. If this is
not possible, pick the audio source that most benefits from the room correction
and insert Dual Core between that source and the amplifier.
➢ 2.1 or 2.2 system
If you have a 2.1 or 2.2 system (main speakers with one or two subwoofers) with
existing cross-over, connect Dual Core before the cross-over. Your system is
then seen as a 2.0 full-range system by the Dual Core and both your main
speakers and subwoofer(s) will be corrected.
It is also possible to connect speakers and subwoofer(s) in parallel. In this case
the combined response is measured and corrected by Dual Core. For optimal
results, subwoofers' level and phase should be adjusted before calibration.
➢ Subwoofer configurations
Select the appropriate configuration for your subwoofer set-up during the
calibration process. If you connect more than two subwoofers, group them
according to their location and how symmetric their placement is. For example,
subwoofers in the front corners are more similar to each other than a subwoofer
in a corner is to another subwoofer in the middle of a wall.
