 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

Once you have made all your system 

connections, follow these steps precisely:

 1)

  Select the appropriate summing mode on 

the CL-SSI and set the three “

Input Level

” 

switches to “

Speaker

” position.

a)

  If you are summing a subwoofer signal to front 

and rear high-pass signals (2-way , four channel 
sum), switch the “

MODE

” switch to “

2-way

”.

 

 

OR

b)

  If you are summing a subwoofer signal to  

mid-range (bandpass) signals and high-pass 
signals (3-way, two channel sum), switch the 

MODE

” switch to “

3-way

”.

 

2)

  Turn the CL441dsp’s Master Volume Knob all 

the way DOWN.

 

3)

 Reconnect the vehicle’s battery ground.

 

4)

  Turn the OEM head unit on and make sure 

it is playing something (radio or CD, doesn’t 
matter right now). Set all OEM head unit tone 
controls at “0” (flat), and the balance and fader 
controls at their center positions. Turn off 
any additional factory signal processing 
features like “Loudness”, “Stadium”, “Hall”, 
“Sheep Barn”, etc.

 

5)

  Verify that the CL-SSI has turned on (lights 

on, any color) and has turned on the rest 
of the aftermarket equipment, including 
the CL441dsp.

 

6)

  Slightly raise the CL441dsp’s Master Volume 

and verify that audio is passing through to 
the aftermarket system. Once verified, turn 
the CL441dsp’s Master Volume Control back 
to minimum.

 

7)

  Insert the “CleanSweep® Calibration CD” 

(included with the CL441dsp) into the OEM 
CD player, play Track 01 and set the OEM 
head unit volume control between half and 3/4 
of full volume.

LEVEL MATCHING SIGNALS

Proper level matching of the signals being 

summed is essential to achieving a successful 
calibration of the CL441dsp.

To aid in proper level matching, each of the 

CL-SSI’s “

Level Trim

” sections features a green 

LED optimum level indicator flanked by LED’s 
indicating level “

Too Low

” or level “

Too High

.”

The “

Level Trim

” potentiometers on the top 

of the CL-SSI allow the user to accurately match 
the levels of the signals being summed using the 
“CleanSweep® Calibration CD” (included with 
the CL441dsp). Please read the following section 
for details on calibrating the CL-SSI’s “

Level 

Trim

” controls.

The CL-SSI’s level matching procedure requires 
the use of the “CleanSweep® Calibration CD” 
included with the CL441dsp. The CL-SSI’s level 
indicators have no significance with any other 
test-signal or with music program material!

Due to ongoing product development, all specifications are subject to 
change without notice.

 8)

  Using the rotary “

Level Trim

” controls on the 

top of the CL-SSI, level match the signals so that 
each LED indicator is steady green. If you have 
turned any control to its full clockwise rotation 
and have not achieved a green light, flip the 

“Input Level”

 switch for that input to 

“Line”

 

and retry. Once you have three green lights, you 
have achieved a successful level match.

 9)

  Using a small pointed tool press the 

CL441dsp’s “

CALIBRATE

” button.

10)

   Wait approximately twenty seconds... lights will 

flash in various colors to keep you entertained 
and to indicate that calibration is taking 
place. After twenty seconds, the lights will 
have stabilized and will tell you whether the 
calibration has been successful on each channel.

11)

  If you have four green lights, your 

calibration was successful. If you don’t have 
steady green lights, refer to the Channel 
Status Codes section in the CL441dsp manual 
for troubleshooting.

12)

  If you have steady green lights on the 

CL441dsp, you can now proceed to set your 
amplifier input sensitivities. Handy test 
tones are included for this purpose on the 
“CleanSweep® Calibration CD”... then balance 
your amplifier channels to taste.

13)

  Refer to CL441dsp manual for Aux Input level 

setting information.

14)

  That’s it! You’re now ready to enjoy great sound.
