Page 29: Target Mode
USER’S MANUAL AP5.9 bit / TARGET MODE In order to configure the inputs, amplified and pre-amplified power outputs, EQ and time delays for AP5.9 bit, it must be interfaced with the PC. When you get to this point you must already be aware of what type of system you intend to set up. - Page 30 USER’S MANUAL AP5.9 bit / 5. Input Configuration Any of the input channels on AP5.9 bit can be given the name corresponding to the signal coming from the source. Choose one of the following input configurations: - (1) F + R + AUX : controls Front stereo + Rear stereo + AUX input. It is possible to select from the drop-down menu which input sections to use to drive the subwoofer in the audio system.

- Page 32 USER’S MANUAL AP5.9 bit / 7. De-equalization. De-equalization of the OEM source, operation not required and not necessary if using low level inputs (Pre out). During the high level input configuration procedure, this function can be used to maximize use of the OEM head units, even if they were equalized to adapt best to the acoustics of the car they are installed in.
- Page 33 USER’S MANUAL AP5.9 bit / 9. Speaker Connection Setup. The speakers present in the system can be activated by simply clicking on them. The software assumes that if the Left tweeter, midrange or woofer are selected, the Right ones are also activated. Once the software is started, this choice will affect the crossover type and frequencies with Default settings.
- Page 34 USER’S MANUAL AP5.9 bit / 10. Output Configurations. The AP5.9 bit features 5 output channels. In this specific step of the procedure, you can assign any signal to one of the output channels, taking into account, however, the diversity of the available power outputs (see section 5.4.1) Ex.: The 2-way front can be run as:...

(Linkwitz) 6/12/18/24 dB/Oct (Butterworth) When starting the AP5.9 bit software, it offers Linkwitz with 12 dB/Oct. slope. E.g.: If you select Band Pass as the filter type, the same slope will be applied to both the hi-pass and low-pass as the default slope, but they can also be unbound. - Page 45 USER’S MANUAL AP5.9 bit / Preliminary remarks Fine set and Phase delay Delay assignment according to distance calculation is theoretical. Small variations must be applied due to small errors in distance measurement, back-wave reflections inside the car and, primarily, the speaker phase problem. Two speakers reproducing two frequency areas that are close to each other (e.g.: Woofer and Midrange) will simultaneously reproduce the same frequencies in their crossing area, at a attenuated level.
- Page 46 USER’S MANUAL AP5.9 bit / 5. Once the time delay settings are complete, start the musical reproduction and use the Fine Set box, moving the values up or down (except for the subwoofer since it is the farthest speaker) to fine tune the system for optimal sound.
