Steps: 

1.

 

Follow the quick start guide above for the DSPB-K / DSPB-KE 

2.

 

Make sure your DSPB-

K’s switch is set to 1.

 

3.

 

Download the zip file of example projects from the product website, unzip it, and find the 3-way 
crossover folder. 

4.

 

Follow the “ICP1 Sigma Studio Connection 

- 

Quick Start” guide found abov

e, utilizing either the 

mono project, or left and right channel projects. 

5.

 

Modify the project file to suit your application. To program it to your DSPB-

K, follow the “ICP1 

Sigma Studio Quick Start” Guide found above, and then follow “

Writing to E2Prom

” 

to make 

sure your custom program persists after a power cycle. 

The screen capture below is the mono version of the 3-way project preset, and has descriptions of each 
section below. The left or right channel versions of this project type are very similar, and are just 
without the mixer block.  

 

 

 

A.

 

Input 

–

 Input 0 will refer to the left input on your DSPB-KE, whereas Input 1 will refer to your 

right channel input. In the mono project, these are fed into a mixer block. For strictly left or right 
channel projects, the project files bypass the mixer block and are fed directly into the EQ block. 

B.

 

Gain Controls 

–

 These controls are set up to be hardware controlled. AUX_ADC_# blocks 

connected to each volume control correspond to the potentiometers on the DSPB. The number
