Before Beginning DSP 1.8 Notice The installation and setup of the DSP should be carried out only by qualified personnel. Read this operating manual carefully and follow the advice contained in it for the connection and setup of the DSP. - Page 5 Connecting Cables DSP 1.8 Warning Only use electrical cable with a sufficient diameter. In doing so, pay attention to the technical details in the appendix. A larger diameter is always recommended. The diameter of the grounding cable must be at least as large as that of the positive cable.
- Page 6 Installation DSP 1.8 Fasten the DSP at a suitable, well-ventilated position in the vehicle, preferably on the chassis panel, with the enclosed or similar sheet metal screws and using the insulating washers. The heatsink of the DSP can attain a high surface temperature. Sufficient distance from temperature- sensitive parts is absolutely essential.

Page 7: Power Supply Indications
Power Supply Indications DSP 1.8 In order to prevent variations in voltage and ground loops, the same cable diameter must be used for the negative conductor (-) as for the positive conductor (+). Because of the large differences in potential, the auto body is not suitable as the negative pole for this application. - Page 8 If the distortion persists, proceed as follows: Disconnect the negative conductor (–) of the sound system from the battery and connect it to the engine block. Check whether the distortion has been fixed. Should the engine block fail to fix the distortion, the auto body must be swept with the negative conductor of the system while the engine is running, until a clear distortion minimum arises.
