3. Configuració
3.1 Power and Ground Connections
Connect the +12V terminal to a constant +12V power source, the Ground terminal to a solid chassis ground point, and the Remote In terminal to your head unit's remote turn-on output. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits.
3.2 Connexions d'entrada
The DM-810 supports both speaker-level and line-level inputs, as well as digital inputs. Connect your audio sources to the appropriate input terminals:
- Entrades de nivell d'altaveu: Use for connecting directly to factory head unit speaker outputs.
- Entrades a nivell de línia: Use for connecting to aftermarket head unit RCA outputs.
- Digital Input (Toslink/Coax): For high-fidelity digital audio sources.
3.3 Connexions de sortida
Connecteu el 10 preamp output channels to your amplifiers using RCA cables. Ensure correct channel assignment for your speaker configuration (e.g., front, rear, subwoofer).
3.4 Instal·lació del programari
Download and install the DM Smart DSP app on your computer. Connect the DM-810 to your computer via USB for initial setup and tuning.
4. Operating the DM-810 (DSP Functionalities)
The DM-810 is controlled via the DM Smart DSP app, offering a comprehensive interface for all audio adjustments.
4.1 Signal Summing
Utilize signal summing to combine multiple input signals from complex factory audio systems. This ensures all audio information is captured and processed correctly.
4.2 Igualació
The 30-band equalizer allows for precise adjustment of the frequency response. Use the Input and Output RTA features within the DM Smart DSP app to identify and correct frequency anomalies for a flat and accurate sound signature.
4.3 Time-Alignment, Delay, and Phase Correction
Adjust time-alignment and delay settings for each output channel to ensure that sound from all speakers reaches the listening position simultaneously, creating a focused and accurate soundstage. Phase correction can be applied to resolve phase cancellations between speakers.
4.4 AccuBASS
Engage AccuBASS to automatically restore low-frequency information that is often rolled off by factory audio systems at higher volumes, providing a full and impactful bass response.
4.5 GTO™ Signal Sense and MILC™ Clip Detection
GTO™ Signal Sense automatically turns the processor on when an audio signal is detected, eliminating the need for a remote turn-on wire in some installations. MILC™ (Maximum Input Level Control) provides visual indicators within the DSP app to help you set input gains correctly, preventing clipping and distortion.
4.6 Encreuaments
Configure 12 and 24 dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley crossovers for each output channel to direct specific frequency ranges to the appropriate speakers, optimizing performance and protecting your components.
4.7 Optional ACR-3 Remote
If an optional ACR-3 remote is connected, it allows for convenient adjustment of master volume and recall of user-defined presets without accessing the DSP app.
