Mobridge DA3 User Manual Download Page 3

Congratulations on your purchase of a mObridge DA3 Pre-Amplifier.  mObridge 
prides itself on striving to develop and manufacture products to the highest 
engineering quality standards and seamlessly integrating these products with 
factory audio visual systems. 

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the DA3 allows for complete control and 

tuning of your DA3 unit, with a 1024 point parametric equalizer for each channel, 
time alignment, phase adjustment as well as channel summing for ‘mono’ usage 
such as with a  subwoofer or centre channel.

This manual will explain how to use this GUI to maximize your listening experience.
The GUI is available for both PC & MAC, and can be downloaded from our website. 

We hope you enjoy your new enhanced listening experience!

Welcome

Common Install Notes

01

 Prior to commencing any installation! Some vehicles may need to be coded for the 

M1000-M-DA for correct operation. Coding Notes for your individual vehicle can be 
found in the Quick Installation Guide.

02

 Initially, please set the gain controls on your analogue amplifiers to minimum. This 

will reduce noise significantly and allow your amplifiers to run smother for longer. NB: 
We recommend that you use the M1000-M-DA gain control as your master set up gain.
