ONTINUE TO OPERATE OFFLINE
With your miniDSP hardware and software configured and a DC power source connected, you can continue to
operate the miniDSP in offline mode – that is, without the computer connected. To do so, simply turn the
connected equipment on again – source and preamp first, then power amps. The miniDSP "remembers" the
configuration last set, and will continue to operate without the computer.

Notes on powering the miniDSP in offline mode
3.
If using an auxiliary DC power supply, the USB cable to the computer can be reconnected at any time, with
no ill effects.
4.
The miniDSP does not have a power switch. We recommend that it simply be left powered on, as power
consumption is very low.
5.
If you do decide to power the miniDSP 2x4 or kit board off or on, please ensure that you:
a.
Turn the connected equipment off before disconnecting power from the miniDSP, and
b.
Connect power to the miniDSP before turning connected equipment on.
2.8.2
Notes on modifying the configuration while in offline mode
While in offline mode, the configuration can still be modified in the plugin interface. These changes will of
course not be downloaded to the miniDSP 2x4. So:
•
When the miniDSP is next put into online mode, selecting the Synchronize option will download all changes
to the miniDSP hardware unit.
•
If you do not wish to have these changes downloaded to the miniDSP hardware unit (for example, you are
just fiddling around in the user interface), then make sure that you have saved the configuration to a file
before making any changes. Then reload the saved configuration before synchronizing again.
The configuration contained in the miniDSP hardware unit cannot be uploaded back to the
computer. Therefore, you must save your configuration to a file if you wish to recover from any
changes you make while in offline mode.
