Switching between the two power modes
HighPower / MidPower mode
The M 5DSP has two power modes - the “HighPow-
er” mode for maximum perfomance and “MidPower”
mode with reduced output power and low power
consumption for Plug & Play applications.
Note: The “MidPower” mode is always activated
ex works.
This mode reduces the output power of the front
and rear channels to 35 Watts per channel. The
result is a lower maximum current consumption of
the M 5DSP and thus allows an easy Plug & Play
connection to OE sound systems with the optional-
ly available MATCH PP-ISO cable harnesses (see
page 23).
Note:
The “MidPower” mode is not a guarantee for
a proper function in combination with the OEM har-
ness. Depending on your car it may be necessary
to connect the M 5DSP directly to a +12 V source.
In order to use the M 5DSP in “HighPower” mode
for maximum performance this has to be acti-

DSP PC-Tool software.
This setting may only be chosen if the power
supply of the M 5DSP is directly connected to
the car´s battery by using a separate cable with

Note:
The M 5DSP can draw currents up to 40 A in
“HighPower” mode. This may lead to an overload of
the OEM harness
(Fire hazard!)
.
Attention: The activation of the “HighPower”
mode in the DSP PC-Tool software is irrevers-
ible. This setting remains active even after re-
setting the internal DSP by using the
