WORKFLOW
We strongly recommend taking a methodical approach to your new miniDSP audio processor. Remember that
the audio processor is a powerful tool, and incorrect settings can potentially cause damage to your system.
Please follow the steps below carefully.
1. Download and install the plugin
When your order ships, your ordered plugin will be available from the User Downloads section
of the miniDSP website. Download and install your plugin, as described in Software installation
on page 11.
2. Familiarize yourself with the plugin
Before connecting your computer to the processor, it’s worth familiarizing yourself with the user
interface presented by the plugin. Click on and explore each of the tabs (
Input , Routing , and
Output ). For more information, see Configuring the processor starting on page 18.
At this time, the plugin is still in offline mode, so any changes you make will not be downloaded
into the miniDSP hardware. Since we will reset all of the processing parameters in the next step,
you can feel free to experiment at this point.
3. Reset all parameters
From the Restore menu, select the Factory Default option. This will reset all processing
parameters back to the defaults and ensure that you have a "clean slate" for the next step.
4. Perform initial configuration
Use the plugin to set up an initial audio processing configuration as intended for your
application. For example, typical things that can be done at this point are to:

Set the labels of input and output channels

Mute unused input and output channels

Set crossover frequencies and slopes

Set up any essential equalization
5. Save configuration
At this point, save your initial configuration to a file. A configuration is the set of all audio
processing parameters. You should save your configuration to a file on a regular basis, to ensure
that you do not lose your work if you inadvertently restore the miniDSP to default settings. For
more information on configurations, see
Working with configurations on page 30.
6. Make audio connections
With the initial configuration done and now that you are familiar with the various controls, it’s
time to connect the miniDSP C-DSP 6x8 into your system.
Ensure that all power is turned off
when making audio connections . See Hardware connectivity on page 13.
