3 Software Setup
miniDSP platforms are controlled and configured over a USB connection. Our software, so called plug-in, must be purchased from our
online webstore separately. The following section will highlight the steps required to configure the miniDSP plug-in.
In order to familiarize yourself with the software first, do not connect any
amplifiers to your miniDSP outputs until you understand each object.

, meaning changes made on the user interface do not affect your configuration. It is
designed in such a way that you can visually confirm your configuration before loading it to the MiniDSP kit.
