1
Optical Input
Optical input in SPDIF format for connection to si-
gnal sources with a digital audio output. The sam-
pling rate of this input must be between 6 and 192
kHz. The input signal is automatically adjusted to
the internal sampling rate.
2
Highlevel Input
8-channel high level loudspeaker input
Use this input to connect the processor directly to
loudspeaker outputs on an OEM or aftermarket ra-
dio that does not have any pre-amplier outputs.
The connection terminals are pluggable. The input
sensitivity of the high level input is adjustable from
6 to 20 Volts via the potentiometers on top of the C-
DSP for each channel-pair. Please note that the in-
put sensitivity must be adjusted to a level where no
clipping of the input stage is possible. See page 15.
3
Line Input
8-channel pre-amplier input to connect signal
sources such as radios. The input sensitivity of the
low level input is adjustable from 1,8 to 6 Volts via
the potentiometers on top of the C-DSP for each
channel-pair. Please note that the input sensitivity
must be adjusted to a level where no clipping of
the input stage is possible. See page 15.
4
Line Output
8-channel pre-amplier output
These are used to connect ampliers. The Output
voltage is max. 6 Volts. These outputs can be as-
signed inputs as desired in the DSP PC Tool soft-
ware.
5
Control Input
This multifunctional input is used to connect DSP
accessories like a „Bluetooth Interface“ or a remote
control.
6
MicrosSD card reader
The MicroSD card reader can be used to download
software updates as well as complete DSP setup
les containing all DSP settings. The setup le is
copied automatically to the C-DSP when the card
is inserted. Copying is shown by the status LED
(9) blinking red; when it reverts to green or orange
copying has been completed. Once the le‘s been
copied the card must be removed.
Attention: Do not remove the MicroSD card du-
ring copying.
The C-DSP can handle four different le extensions.
These les have “af1”/“ac1”, “af2”/“ac2”, “af3“/“ac3“
or “af4“/“ac4“ sufxes. The C-DSP has two internal
memories for storing DSP setup les which can be
toggled via the control button (7).
Please note: You have to upload always two setup
les at the same time due to the two processors
inside the C-DSP. So you have to upload the les
always as a pair. For the rst memory a pair con-
sists out of an „af1“ and „af3“ le and for the second
memory the pair consists out of an „af2“ and „af4“
le. During the update via the MicroSD card reader
both les have to be stored on the MicroSD at the
same time. Software updates are available from
www.audiotec-scher.com or www.helix-
hi.com (US).
7
Control Pushbutton
The control pushbutton allows the user to switch
between memory 1 („af1“ and „af3“ les) and me-
mory 2 („af2“ and „af4“ les). In addition this push-
button can be used to erase the whole memory.
To switch between the setups, the button must be
pressed and held for 1 second. Switching is indi-
cated by a singular red ash of the Status-LED (9).
Pressing the button for 5 seconds completely era-
ses the internal memory. This is indicated by a con-
stant ashing of the Status-LED (8).
Attention: After erasing the setups from memo-
ry the C-DSP will not reproduce any audio out-
put signal.
Please note: The C-DSP is delivered in factory
mode with two identical setup les stored in the in-
ternal memory.
8
Status LED
The Status LED indicates the current active DSP-
setup. Green means that setup 1 („af1“ and „af3“) is
loaded, orange means that setup 2 („af2“ and „af4“)
is loaded.
A ashing red light indicates that no setup is loaded.
