Connection to a PC
It
is
possible
to freely
configure the HELIX
V EIGHT DSP
with our
DSP PC-
Tool
software.
The user interface is designed for easy
handling
of
all
functions and allows an
individual
adjustment
of
each
of
the ten DSP channels. Prior to connecting
the
amplifier
to your
PC
visit our website and down-
load
the latest
version
of
the
DSP PC-Tool
software.
Check
from time to time for software updates.
You
will
find the software and the respective user manu-
al
on
www.audiotec-fischer.com.
We strongly
recommend to
carefully
read the user
manual
(Sound Tuning Magazine) before using the
software for the first time
in
order to avoid any com-
plications
and
failures.

Important:
Make sure that the
amplifier is not con-
nected to your computer before the software and
USB
driver are
installed!
In
the
following the most important steps how to
connect and the first
start-up are described:
1.
Download
the
latest
version
of
the
DSP
PC-Tool
software
(available
on our website
www.audiotec-fischer.com)
and
install
it on
you computer.
2.
Connect the
amplifier to your computer using
the
USB cable
that
is
included
in
delivery. If you
have to bridge
longer
distances please
use
an
active
USB
extension
cable with integrated re-
peater and no passive extension.
3.
Turn on the
amplifier and start the software after
the Status LED
lights
up green. The operating
software
will
be updated
automatically to the
latest version
if
it
is not up-to-date.
4.
Now you are able
to configure your
HELIX
V
EIGHT DSP amplifier
with our intuitive
DSP
PC-Tool
software.
Nevertheless
interesting and
useful
hints can be found e.g.
in
our
"Sound
Tuning
Magazine",
which can be
downloaded
for free from our website.
Caution:
We
highly recommend to set the
volume
of
you car radio to minimum position during first
start-up. Additionally
no devices or speakers
should
be connected to the
amplifier until general
settings
in
the
DSP PC-Tool
software have been made. Es-
pecially
if the V EIGHT DSP will
be used to drive
fully
active speaker systems, a wrong setup can de-
stroy your tweeters right away.
