INSTALLATION-
In order to use your DSP-4 module, you will need to install the QSC Audio Signal Manager software on your PC. The
module is configured to pass full range audio unattenuated from input-to-output as shipped from the factory. You must
use the software to configure the module as desired.
Software Installation-
1. Insert the CD labeled QSC Signal Manager into your CD drive (typically drive "D:"). If your
computer has AUTORUN enabled, the installation utility will start automatically. If it does not,
then proceed to step 2, below. Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
2. Run D:\Setup.exe (replace "D" with your CD drive's designation if necessary) and follow the
instructions displayed.
3. When the installation is complete, you will be presented with a screen that prompts you
to view the "Readme" file. Please take time to read this- it contains important information on
how to use the software.
4. After installation, you will have an icon on your desktop labeled "Signal Manager". Use this
icon to start the application.
5. Using the main menu bar at the top of the window, choose the "Help" item and read the
software help section. The Help system includes the most up-to-date information for
"paperless" reference. Also, visit QSC on the internet at http://www.qscaudio.com for
DSP-4 updates.
6. IMPORTANT! The DSP-4 is shipped with all of its presets configured to pass full-range
audio signals through both channels. THIS MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR
SETUP! Be sure to configure any necessary crossovers , filters, etc. prior to applying
audio signals to the inputs. Damage to equipment may result if these recommenda-
tions are not followed.
After the software has been installed and the DSP-4 module has been properly mounted and connected to the amplifier,
connect the RS-232 cable from your PC's COM port to the DSP-4 module's RS-232 connector. Then apply power to the
DSP-4 (turn on the amplifier or plug in the accessory external power supply). Turn on your PC and start the Signal
Manager software by clicking (or double clicking) on its icon. Refer to the software's Help system for instructions on
creating and applying configurations to the DSP-4.
equivalent analog processing device. Unpredictable results may occur due to failure of the
PC or the communications port. Under such circumstances, damage to your speakers is
possible if the amplifier gain is set for high power levels. Use the minimum useful gain
settings while making system adjustments.

Software Installation
Do not run your amplifier "wide open" (maximum gain) while making real-time
adjustments to the DSP-4's setup. The nature of the communication path between
the PC and DSP-4 is inherently more complex than direct physical controls of an
