Connection to a PC
It is possible to freely configure the HELIX
DSP PRO MK2 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 signal processor to your PC visit our website
and download 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 signal processor is
not connected 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 signal processor 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 inte-
grated repeater and no passive extension.
3. Turn on the signal processor and start the soft-
ware after the Status LED lights up green. The
operating software will be updated automatical-
ly to the latest version if it is not up-to-date.
4. Now you are able to configure your HELIX
DSP PRO MK2 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 vol-
ume of your car radio to minimum position during
first start-up. Additionally no devices should be
connected to the signal processor until general set-
tings in the DSP PC-Tool software have been made.
Especially if the DSP PRO MK2 will be used in fully
active applications, a wrong setup can destroy your
speakers right away.
