Controlling your subwoofer via PC GUI

The PC GUI (literally, “Personal Computer, Graphical User Interface”) is the primary mode to access

and adjust the DSP for subwoofer optimization. Follow all safe practices and contact Dayton Audio

if you require assistance.

Read Setting: Read all the setting from amp

Save Settings to File: Save current settings to PC

Load Settings from File: Load previous saved setting to AMP

Reset to default setting: Reset the AMP to factory default

See next page: For a full depiction of the primary screens and detailed identification of each of your amp GUI’s controls.

(10)

• USB Link Indicator: When communication via USB with amp is successful, the GUI’s “LED”indicator will

light blue. Otherwise, the “LED” stays dark.

• Processing Selection: Selecting any icon can effect change in near-real time (NRT) to the amp’s audio outputs.

• Main Control Screen: Control each DSP processing parameters: Threshold Power, Attack Time, Release,

along with 5 digital PEQ bands

• Sub In/Out monitor: Monitor the input signal and sub output signal levels.

• Tools Drop Down Menu: Utilities for amp DSP management, plus Wi-Fi settings.

• Note: The GUI’s graphical trace is NRT editable. Bands can be shaped by cursor or direct input and/or sliders.

Detailed tool tips (shown a-d above):

o 5 band-digital PEQ

a) Band On/Off: Bypass or enable by clicking the colorized 1 ~ 5 buttons.

b) Center Frequency (CF): Adjust Center Frequency of each EQ band, 20 ~ 200Hz. Steps: 1Hz.

c) Gain: Adjust the EQ gain (apparent volume), -12 ~ +6dB. Steps: 1dB.

d) Q (EQ width): Adjust the “Q” value, 0.4 ~ 11. Steps: 0.1Q.

o Limiter: Adjust, optimize, save, recall.

a) Threshold: Adjust the limiter “threshold power”, 0 ~ -12dB. Steps: 0.1dB

b) Attack: Adjust limiter “attack time”. This controls the allowed of time signals may be over threshold power.

Range of adjustment is 0.1 ~ 100ms (milliseconds). Steps: 0.1ms

c) Release: Adjust limiter's “release time”. When limiter is triggered, this control adjusts the time

allowed to restore full power. Adjustable range 100 ~ 5000ms. Steps: 0.1ms.
