B. DSPB-250 / DSPB-100 - Quick Start
1. Connect the included 3.5mm jack to port J6 for audio input.
a. Note – J3, the 3.5mm jack on the board, is NOT for audio input.
2. Connect speakers to J10 according to the wiring diagram or by following the labels on the back
side of the board. This will be different for the DSP-250 vs. the DSPB-100.
a. If using a DSPB-100 (mono), it is recommended to bridge the two positive wires together
as well as the negative wires so they function like a thicker wire.
3. Connect power through either J9 if using a power adapter or use J8 if using a battery board.
a. It is recommended to use a power supply of at least 12V but less than or equal to 24V.
4. Audio should now play if the above connections are made correctly.
a. Troubleshooting
i. Check the included 3.5mm jack is connected to the correct pins of J6.
ii. Check the position of the on board potentiometers that affect gain and high
pass filters.
iii. Check that your audio source is functioning correctly.
iv. Check the speaker connections match the corresponding diagram. There is a
different diagram for the 250 (stereo) vs the 100 (mono).
v. If you attached an ICP1, detach it and do a power cycle.
5. Adjusting the potentiometers on the board labelled POT1-4 will allow quick adjustments without
any programming. See the potentiometers section (part E) for more details.
6. Once the basic connection is working, the DSPB is ready to be integrated into your project.
Further customization can be done by using the methods below.
a. App connection with the ICP1 for basic EQ or high and low pass filter adjustment
b. Sigma Studio connection with the ICP1 for nearly infinite custom DSP possibilities.
i. See the sample project files at the Parts Express Product page for your device.
