5. Uppsetning og uppsetning
5.1 Kerfiskröfur
Hugbúnaðarkröfur
To configure the HERTZ H8 DSP, a personal computer with the following operating system is required:
- Microsoft Windows (32/64 bita): XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10
5.2 Raftengingar
Ensure the vehicle's battery is disconnected before making any connections.
Inntak Stage Tengingar
- High Level (Speaker): Connect the speaker outputs from your head unit or amplifier to the designated high-level inputs (FL - FR - RL - RR). The input level can be adjusted from 2-15 V using the potentiometers on the unit.
- Low Level (Pre): Connect RCA pre-out signals from your head unit to the low-level inputs.
- AUX IN: Connect external audio sources via the L/R RCA AUX IN ports. The input level can be adjusted from 0.6-5 V.
Framleiðsla Stage Tengingar
- Low Level Pre (default): The H8 DSP provides 8 low-level RCA outputs (CH1-CH8) for connecting to external amplifiers. Default assignments include Front Tweeter L/R, Front Woofer L/R, Rear L/R, Subwoofer, and Center channel. These assignments are configurable via software.
Stjórna tengingar
- From / To Personal Computer: Use the 1 x USB / B port to connect the DSP to your computer for software configuration and tuning.
- DRC HE: Connect the Digital Remote Control (DRC HE) for audio controls and input selection.
- Optical / AUX Select: Use the Optical In / Aux wire control +12V / GND enable for input selection.
- Memory A / Memory B: Use the Memory A / B wire control +12V / GND enable to switch between stored audio presets.
