- Use appropriate gauge wiring for power and signal connections.
4. Configuration et installation
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. This section outlines the steps for physically installing and connecting the DSP.
4.1 Installation physique
- Choose a dry, well-ventilated location in your vehicle, away from direct heat sources or moving parts.
- Mount the DSP securely using appropriate fasteners to prevent vibration.
- Ensure sufficient space around the unit for air circulation and cable management.
4.2 Connexions de câblage
The B2 Audio SixTen DSP features 6 RCA inputs and 10 RCA outputs, along with a power terminal block.
- Connexion électrique : Connect the power terminal block to a fused 12V constant power source, ground, and a remote turn-on lead from your head unit.
- Connexions d'entrée : Connect your audio source (e.g., head unit, auxiliary input) to the RCA input jacks (AUX1-AUX6).
- Connexions de sortie: Connect the RCA output jacks (OUT1-OUT10) to your amplifiers. Each output can be configured for specific channels (e.g., front left, front right, subwoofer).

5.2 Utilisation de l'application mobile
The application provides a graphical interface for all DSP functions, including:
- Routage des entrées/sorties : Assign specific inputs to desired output channels.
- Égalisation (EQ) : Adjust the frequency response for each channel using a multi-band equalizer.
- Croisements : Set high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass filters for each output to direct specific frequency ranges to appropriate speakers.
- Alignement temporel : Adjust the delay for each channel to ensure sound from all speakers arrives at the listening position simultaneously.
- Gain Control: Fine-tune the output level for each channel.
- Limiteur: Monitor and manage output levels to prevent clipping and speaker damage. The unit features "CLIP L" and "CLIP R" indicators.
- Gestion des préréglages : Save and recall multiple audio configurations for different listening preferences or music genres.
Refer to the in-app help or tutorials for detailed guidance on specific tuning parameters.
6. Entretien
The B2 Audio SixTen DSP requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
