Page 8: Ax-Dsp-X App
AX-DSP-X APP Setup Instructions • General information tab for installing the AX-DSP-X. Continued on the next page... - Page 9 Bluetooth Connection • Scan - Press this button to start the Bluetooth pairing process, then select the AX-DSP-X from the mobile device. The AX-DSP-X must be powered during this process. Confirmation that you are connected will show in the top left corner of the app.
- Page 10 AX-DSP-X APP (CONT.) Configuration • Identify - Click this button to confirm that the AX-DSP-X is connected properly. If so, a chime will be heard from the front left speaker. • Reset to Defaults - Resets the AX-DSP-X to factory settings. During the reset process the amplifiers will shut off for 5-10 seconds.
- Page 11 • About - Displays information about the app, vehicle, AX-DSP-X, and mobile device. • Set Password - Assign a 4-digit password to lock the AX-DSP-X. If no password is desired, use “0000”. This will clear out any currently set password. It is not necessary to lock down the AX-DSP-X when setting a password.
- Page 12 • Group - Used to join channels together. Example, left front woofer/ midrange and left front tweeter will be considered simply left front to the AX-DSP-X. The letter M denotes the speaker assigned as the master speaker. • Invert - Will invert the phase of the speaker.
- Page 13 AX-DSP-X APP (CONT.) Crossover Adjust • If installing a subwoofer, the front and rear outputs will default to a 100Hz high pass filter to keep the low frequency signals out of the full range speakers. If a subwoofer is not being installed, change the front and rear crossover points down to 20Hz for a full range signal, or to the lowest frequency the speakers will play to.
- Page 14 AX-DSP-X APP (CONT.) Equalizer Adjust • All channels can be adjusted independently within this tab with 31 bands of available equalization. It is best to tune this by using an RTA (Real Time Analyzer). • The Gain slider on the far left is for the channel selected.
- Page 15 AX-DSP-X APP (CONT.) Delay Adjust • Allows a delay of each channel, up to 10 milliseconds. First measure the distance (in inches) from each speaker to the listening position, then enter those values. If a delay is desired, add to the desired channel(s), up to 99 inches.
- Page 16 • Clipping Level - Use this feature to protect sensitive speakers like tweeters from being driven past their capabilities. If the output signal of the AX-DSP-X clips the audio will be reduced by 20dB. Turning down the stereo will allow the audio to come back at a normal level.
