Great Features of the DQ-61
Signal Delay Operation
Because of speaker placement limitations and the seating position in a
car, the driver is in an incorrect acoustic alignment with the speakers.
The following steps will help you correct the time alignment by delay -
ing the appropriate speakers for just a few milliseconds, so the DQ-61
is able to allow the different signals to arrive at the same time, putting
the driver in perfect acoustical alignment.
1.
For best performance and ease of set-up, go to our website at
www.audiocontrol.com and download the DQ-61 Set-Up App
for your Apple iPhone or iPad. It’s FREE and will help take all the
guesswork out of setting up the delay. However, if you do not
have access to an iPhone or iPad you can set up the delay just by
using your ears.
2.
After you have made all your power and ground connections,
plug in all your inputs and outputs, turn the Signal Delay knob
on the DQ-61 chassis all the way to the right to go into
Set-Up
mode. In this mode, the blue LED will blink on the ACR-3 dash
remote. (See the diagrams on the next page.)
3.
You will need to make sure that all your delay settings are set to
zero, using the following procedure: Start with the Left to Right
setting (the Red LED on the ACR-3 remote will be solid) and turn
the ACR-3 knob completely CLOCKWISE until you no longer hear
any Mute Clicks. Once you have verified your Left to Right is set
to zero, now set your “Sub to Front” delay at zero as follows:
Simply push in the ACR-3 knob to switch from “Left to Right” to
“Sub to Front”. At this time the blue LED will continue to blink
and the red LED will turn off. Again, turn the ACR-3 knob CLOCK -
WISE until you no longer hear any Mute Clicks. You have now set
all of the delay in the DQ-61 to zero.
