Before connecting a USB cable, install the FSP-8 DSP MANAGER, available on the FOCAL website at:
http://www.focal.com/fsp-8/dsp-manager/fr
http://www.focal.com/fsp-8/dsp-manager/en
Once the different components have been turned on, launch the FSP-8 DSP Manager, connect the FSP-8 to
the computer using the USB cable, then configure settings and carry out checks at low volume.
Once the speaker driver setup is correct, adjust the gain on the amplifiers and gradually increase the volume.
Refer to the specific software manual, available online (FOCAL website) or using the software help in case
of difficulty with the software.
