BLUETOOTH STREAMING INTERFACE • The AXDSPL-BT Bluetooth streaming interface can be used to stream media directly to the interface. • While streaming media the volume on the phone will be used. As an option, the AXBK-1 (sold separately) can be used to control the volume. 16-pin Header AX-DSPL-BT 1. Important! Unplug the interface from the vehicle. 2. Remove (4) Phillips screws securing the interface, then remove the top cover, exposing the circuit board within. 3.

MOBILE APP Setup Instructions • General information tab for installing the interface.
PAGE 7
MOBILE APP (CONT.) Bluetooth Connection • Scan - Press this button to start the Bluetooth pairing process, then select the interface once it is found. “Connected” will appear in the top left corner of the app once paired. • Disconnect - Disconnects the interface from the app. Note: The ignition must be cycled on during this process. Continued on the next page REV.
PAGE 8
MOBILE APP (CONT.) Configuration • Identify - Click this button to send a test tone to the front left speaker. • Reset to Defaults - Resets the interface to factory settings. During the reset process the amp(s) will shut off for 5-10 seconds. • Vehicle Type - Select the vehicle type from the drop down box, then click the apply button. • Lock Down - Click this button to save the selected settings.
PAGE 9
MOBILE APP (CONT.) Outputs Output Channels • Location - Location of speaker. • Invert - Will invert the phase of the speaker. • Group - Used to join channels together for simple equalization. Example, left front woofer/midrange and left front tweeter will be considered simply left front. The letter M indicates the speaker assigned as the master speaker. • Mute - Will mute desired channel(s) for tuning individual channels. Continued on the next page REV.
PAGE 10
MOBILE APP (CONT.) Crossover Adjust • Select the desired crossover filter per channel, low pass, band pass, or high pass • Select the desired crossover slope per channel, 12db, 24db, 36db, or 48db • Select the desired crossover frequency per channel, 20hz to 20khz Note: The front and rear channels default to a 100Hz high pass filter to keep the low frequency signals out.
PAGE 11
MOBILE APP (CONT.) Equalizer Adjust • All channels can be adjusted independently within this tab with 15 bands of available equalization. It is best to tune this by using an RTA (Real Time Analyzer). • The Gain slider on the far left is for the channel selected. Continued on the next page REV.
PAGE 12
MOBILE APP (CONT.) Delay Adjust • Allows a delay of each channel. If a delay is desired, first measure the distance (in inches) from each speaker to the listening position, then enter those values to the corresponding speaker. Add (in inches) to the desired speaker to delay it.
PAGE 13
MOBILE APP (CONT.) Inputs/Levels • Chime Volume - Not applicable in this application. • Clipping Level - Use this feature to protect sensitive speakers like tweeters from being driven past their capabilities. If the output signal of the interface clips the audio will be reduced by 20dB. Turning down the stereo will allow the audio to come back at a normal level. The sensitivity of this feature can be adjusted to the listening preference of the user.
