- Connecting the DSP-Z8 IV is quite straight forward. There are 6 RCA Inputs. Ch. I and 2
are seen as (FL) front left and (FR) front right, Ch. 3 and 4 are the rear inputs, and Ch. 5 and
6 are Sub1 and Sub2. These labels are used to match the most often used setups. In the GUI
you will tell the DSP which input setup you are using and it will automatically connect the
inputs to the outputs internally.

- The DSP-Z8 IV also has 6 channels of high level speaker input for use with factory stereo
systems. You can connect the speaker outputs of your factory stereo system directly to the
supplied plug. The plug is color coded to standard colors and each wire is also labeled. Just
like with RCAs you can use 2, 4, or 6 channels for input. If your system has active
crossovers you will use the MIX function in the GUI to sum them and get a full range signal.
3
- The DSP-Z8 IV also has a 2-ch analog auxiliary input. This input uses a standard 3.5mm
stereo plug for MP-3 players, smart phones and other low level input sources.
4
- These are the 8 channels of RCA outputs to connect to the amplifiers. These gold plated
Tiffany style connectors will assure that you get the best possible signal transfer.
5
- Power Connector: There are 4 connections here. The Yellow wire is the main +12V wire
and should be connected to the battery positive. The Black wire is the ground for the DSP
and must go to a good solid chassis ground.
NOTE:
The biggest single cause of noises in the
system is weak grounds
