Line Output - HELIX DSP-3 Manual

Initial start-up and functions
- right position:
connected via 200 Ohms resistor.
8 Control pushbutton
The DSP.3 provides 10 internal memory locations
for sound setups. The Control pushbutton allows
the user to switch between two memory positions.
These can be defined in the DSP PC-Tool.
Note: The memory locations one and two are de-
fined ex works.
To manually switch between the setups the button
has to be pressed and held for one second. Switch-
ing is indicated by a single red flash of the Status
LED. To switch between all internal memory loca-
tions, the optionally available DIRECTOR display
remote control or the HELIX WIFI CONTROL is
recommended.
Pressing the button for five seconds completely
erases the internal memory. This is indicated by a
continuous red glowing and constant green flashing
of the Status LED.
Attention: After erasing the setups from memo-
ry the HELIX DSP.3 will not reproduce any audio
output.
9 Status LED
The Status LED indicates the operating mode of the
signal processor and of its memory.
Green: DSP is ready for operation.
Orange: Power Save Mode is active.
Red: Protection Mode is active. This may have dif-
ferent root causes. The HELIX DSP.3 is equipped
with protection circuits against over- and under-
voltage as well as overheating. Please check for
connecting failures such as short-circuits or other
wrong connections.
If the DSP is overheated the internal temperature
protection switches off the remote and signal output
until it reaches a safe temperature level again.
Red / green slow flashing: No operating software
installed. Connect the signal processor to the
DSP PC-Tool software and confirm the automat-
ic update of the operating system. You will find
the latest version of the DSP PC-Tool software at
www.audiotec-fischer.com.
Red / green fast flashing: The currently selected
Sound Setup memory is empty. A new setup has to
be loaded via the DSP PC-Tool software or switch
to a memory position with existing sound setup.

This multi-functional input is designed for HELIX
DSP.3 accessory products like a remote control
which allows to adjust several features of the signal
processor. Depending on the type of remote con-
trol, at first its functionality has to be defined in the
" Device Configuration Menu" of the DSP PC-Tool
software.

Line Output

12
8-channel pre-amplifier output for connecting po wer
amplifiers. The output voltage is 6 Volts max. Please
make sure that you always turn on / off external am-
plifiers using the remote output of the signal proces-
sors Power Input. Never directly control the external
amps by a signal from the ignition switch of your
car! Additionally this output will be turned off when
the "Power Save Mode" of the signal processor is
active. The outputs can be assigned to any of the
inputs as desired using the DSP PC-Tool software.
