CONNECTIVITY
The miniDSP kit board has a 5-pin header (standard 0.1”/2.54mm pitch) located just behind its on-board USB
connector, for use in builds requiring a panel mount USB connector.
This header will interface to common off-the-shelf cable assemblies (typically used in computer hardware).
Although this is a standard connector, you should nonetheless confirm the pin-out with the manufacturer, or
you could easily cause damage to your computer or miniDSP kit. In most cases, pins 4 and 5 can be identified by
a black wire, but once again, DO check the manufacturer’s spec of the connector to prevent any short-circuits.
To make things simple, we provide a suitable cable for purchase in the accessories section of our
website

RESET
A reset button is available on board and will bypass all processing by the DSP IC. If pressed once, the onboard
LED will stop flashing, indicating that processing has stopped and that the miniDSP is in reset mode. To initialize
the DSP, press the button again and the DSP will return to normal processing (LED flashing).
While it is a handy feature to test certain configurations, beware that in DSP bypass mode, audio inputs 1 and 2
are routed directly (straight through) to outputs 3 & 4. We therefore recommend not pressing the reset button
unless you know exactly what you are about to do.
