Introduction
The HOLMFIR application allows you to configure the DSPre using bleeding edge algo-
rithmens, but to begin with you just want to get the DSPre playing.
HOLMFIR in 'Basic Mode' lets you configure the DSPre as a digital active crossover (2,3-
way) with equalization option.
The 'Basic Mode' makes it easy to configure the DSPre as the cornerstone of your personal
setup with amplifiers and speakers. The Quick Start (Chapter 2) guides you through the
initial setup of the DSPre, which can be done in just a few minutes.

HOLMFIR can be used to setup 1,2,3-way systems, so skip the pages not relevant for you

chapters/sections.

When you are familiar with HOLMFIR in 'Basic Mode' and would like to take the DSPre a
