Configure the MATCH UP 8DSP as follows
Caution:
Carrying out the following steps will re-
quire special tools and technical knowledge. In or-
der to avoid connection mistakes and / or damage,
ask your dealer for assistance if you have any ques-
tions and follow all instructions in this manual (see
page 19). It is recommended that this unit will be
installed by an authorized MATCH deale
r.
1. Connecting the System Connector
1. Connecting the highlevel speaker inputs A -
D: The highlevel loudspeaker inputs (see
page 21, fig. 1, no. 1 - 4 and 11 - 14) can
be connected directly to the loudspeaker out-
puts of an OEM radio or aftermarket radio by
using the enclosed MATCH connection ca-
ble. It is not mandatory to use all highlevel
speaker inputs. It is sufficient if two of four
highlevel loudspeaker inputs are connected.
With the DSP PC-Tool software it is possi-
ble to route the input signals to the 9 output
channels individually. Make sure that the po-
larity is correct. If one or more connections
have reversed polarity it may affect the per
-
formance of the amplifier. If this input is used
the remote input (
REM IN
) does not need to
be connected as the amplifier will automat
-
ically turn on once a loudspeaker signal is
received.
2.
Connecting the loudspeaker outputs A - D:
The loudspeaker outputs (see page 21,
fig. 1, no. 5 - 8 and 15 - 18) can be connect
-
ed directly to the wires of the loudspeakers
by using the enclosed MATCH connection
cable.
Never connect any of the loudspeaker cables
to the chassis ground as this will damage
your amplifier and your speakers. Ensure
that the loudspeakers are correctly connect-
ed (phase), i.e. plus to plus and minus to
minus. Exchanging plus and minus causes
a total loss of bass reproduction. The plus
pole is indicated on most speakers. The im-
pedance per channel must not be lower than
4 Ohms, otherwise the amplifier protection
will be activated.
Attention:
Solely use the System Connector
connection cable which is included in deliv-
ery or an appropriate cable harness from the
MATCH accessories program for connection!
2. Connecting the highlevel speaker inputs E &
F (optionally)
The highlevel loudspeaker inputs E & F can be
connected directly to the loudspeaker outputs
of an OEM radio or aftermarket radio using
the enclosed MATCH connection cable (see
page 21, fig. 1, no. 21 - 24). Make sure that the
polarity is correct. If one or more connections
have reversed polarity it may affect the perfor
-
mance of the amplifier. If this input is used the
remote input (
REM IN
/ page 20, point 4) does
not need to be connected as the amplifier will
automatically turn on once a loudspeaker sig-
nal is received.
Attention:
Solely use the connection cable with
the 4-pole connector and flying leads which is
included in delivery or an appropriate cable har-
ness from the MATCH accessories program!
3. Optional: Connecting the speaker outputs
E - H
The loudspeaker outputs allow to connect
speaker systems using the included connection
cable as well as subwoofers to the two power
channels G & H (see page 21, fig. 1, no. 25 -
32). Never connect any of the loudspeaker ca-
bles with the chassis ground as this will damage
your amplifier and your speakers. Ensure that
the loudspeakers are correctly connected (in
phase), i.e. plus to plus and minus to minus. Ex-
changing plus and minus causes a total loss of
bass reproduction. The plus pole is indicated on
most speakers. The impedance of the speakers
must not be lower than 4 Ohms for channel E -
F and 2 Ohms for channel G and H, otherwise
the amplifier protection will be activated.
Attention:
Solely use the connection cable with
the 8-pole connector and flying leads (page 22,
fig. 2) which is included in delivery for connect
-
ing further loudspeakers or an appropriate cable
harness from the MATCH accessories program!
4. Connecting a digital signal source
If you have a signal source with an optical dig-
ital output you can connect it to the amplifier
using the appropriate input. The sampling rate
