1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Bit One is a signal digital processor essential to maximize the acoustic performance of your Car Audio system.

It consists of a 32 bit DSP processor and 24 bit AD and DA converters.

It can be interfaced with any factory system, even in vehicles featuring an integrated audio processor, since, thanks

to the de-equalization function, the Bit One will send back a linearized signal.

The Bit One features 21 signal inputs; 8 Hi-Level, 1 Phone, 6 Low-Level, 4 Aux, 1 Optical Digital, 1 Coax Digital.

It provides 8 PRE OUT analog or digital outputs.

Each output channel has a 32 band equalizer available. It also features a 66 frequency steps electronic crossover as

well as BUTTERWORTH or LINKWITZ filters with 6-48 dB slopes; a digital time delay line along with an equalizer on

each auxiliary input are also available. The user can select adjustments that will allow him to interract with the Bit One

trough the remote controll device called DRC.

WARNING: a PC provided with Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating system, 1.5 GHz minimum

processor speed and 1 GB RAM minimum memory, are required to install the software and setup the Bit One.

1. PRE IN low-level MASTER inputs (see section 5.4.1-2)

Ch1 - Ch2 - Ch3 - Ch4 - Ch5 - Ch6

Connect here the RCA cables coming from the main analog signal source.

If these inputs are used, the MASTER SPEAKER IN inputs can not be used.

2. AUX1 – AUX2 auxiliary low-level STEREO inputs (see section 5.4.3-4)

Connect here the RCA cables coming from additional analog signal sources.

3. DIGITAL IN S/PDIF digital inputs (see section 5.4.5-6)

The applicable signal must be a 48 kHz/24bit max. STEREO signal.

COAXIAL. Connect a 75 ohm shielded cable.

OPTICAL. Connect an optical fibre cable with TOSLINK connector.

4. SPEAKERS IN hi-level MASTER input (see section 5.5.1-2)

Ch1 - Ch2 - Ch3 - Ch4 - Ch5 - Ch6 - Ch7 - Ch8

Connect here the specific cables coming from the power output of the main signal source.

If these inputs are used, the MASTER PRE IN inputs can not be used.

Ch1 features AUTO TURN ON (ART), providing the ability to automatically turn on/off the Bit One through the

connection with the source speaker outputs. In the Bit One.1 version (check label on the bottom of the product)

this feature can be disabled (see section 5.5.1).

5. PHONE input for phone hands-free kits (see section 5.5.3)

SIGNAL. Connect the audio output cables coming from the hands-free kit system in use.

MUTE. Connect the hands-free kit remote control (MUTE/PHONE MUTE).

1. PRE OUT low-level analog signal (see section 5.6.2-3)

Ch1 - Ch2 - Ch3 - Ch4 - Ch5 - Ch6 - Ch7 - Ch8

Connect here the RCA cables going to the system’s amplifiers.

2. AD Link - OUT digital signal (see section 5.6.1-3)

S/PDIF standard digital signal (Ch1÷Ch8) to connect amplifiers provided with appropriate ADLink input.

3. AC Link 1 - 2 Remote Controls

DRC: Connection plug for the remote control panel of the processor functions and the devices connected to

the AMPS bus (see section 5.3).

AMPS: Connection bus to control the amplifiers provided with ACLink connection (see section 5.6.1-3).

1. REMOTE IN-OUT (see section 5.1)

IN: for the processor remote turn-on through one or multiple signal sources, featuring Rem Out control.

OUT: output for the remote turn-on of the other devices/amplifiers connected to the processor.

The REMOTE OUT output current capability is 20 mA. From the REMOTE-IN signal, the processor only takes

7 seconds to supply the signal to the REMOTE OUT output.

WARNING: the Bit One must be switched on before the amplifiers connected edit are turned on. It’s necessary to

connect the sources Remote Out to the Bit One Remote In and then the Bit One Remote Out to the Remote In of the

other devices/amplifiers connected to the Bit One (section 5.1)

2. KEY SWITCH ignition key connection (see section 5.2.3-4)

MEM: it stores the processor status when it is turned off.

ON - OFF: it turns the processor on and off when the vehicle turn on/off ignition key is turned.

WARNING: make sure the connection polarity is as indicated on the terminals. A mis-connection may result in

damage to the Bit One. After applying a 12V power, wait at least 20 seconds before turning the Bit One on.

3. POWER power supply connection (section 5.1)

- 12V + : Positive and negative connection terminal for car 12 V power supply.

IMPORTANT REMARK: current capability of the Bit One.1 version (check the label on the bottom of your Bit

One to know its version) is 130 mA; it can also drive an automotive relay (make sure its absorption is not higher

than 130 mA).

4. USB (section 5.3)

USB (B) connection plug, to connect the processor to a PC and manage its functions through the Bit One

software. The connection standard is USB 1.1/2.0 compatible.

5. CONNECTIONS

1. Push the DRC main control switch (to turn on). Keep the DRC main control knob pressed (to shut down).

In this case no other connections Remote In / KEY SWITCH are required, but they can coexist (see section 12).

2. Connecting one of the Remote In plugs using a Remote signal coming from one source, the KEY SWITCH

connection is not required, but it can coexist.

3. Through the KEY SWITCH ON OFF. Every time you turn on / off the car ignition key, the Bit One will turn on / off.

If this control is used, KEY SWITCH MEM can not be used.

4. Through the KEY SWITCH MEM. If the Bit One was turned off through the KEY SWITCH MEM connection, it

will automatically turn on again by turning the KEY SWITCH MEM itself. If it was turned off through a different

method (ex. through the Remote or the DRC) while the KEY SWITCH MEM was still active, the Bit One will not

turn on again through the KEY SWITCH MEM; you will have to turn it on through either the DRC or the

Remote. If you use the KEY SWITCH MEM, the KEY SWITCH ON OFF can not be used.

5. Through the SPEAKER IN CH1. The AUTO TURN ON (ART) activates by connecting the amplified head

unit output to the SPEAKER IN CH1 input channel, the ART can be disabled on the Bit One.1 (check the label

on the bottom of your Bit One to know its version) by opening the product and removing the jumper as

shown in the picture (see section 5.5.1).

6. Automatically through the hands-free phone kit (see section 5.5.3), with the Bit One “mute” control turned off.

Remark: The Bit One is internally

protected by a fuse-resistor soldered on its

printed circuit board. To replace it, contact

a service centre. The application of an

external fuse is recommended, though it is

not indispensable.

REMOTE TURN ON

The Bit One is on when the Audison logo lights up in blue. After receiving the turn-on input the Bit One takes 9

seconds to become operative. It can be turned on / off in the following ways:

DIGITAL IN - WARNING: the digital inputs accepts

up to 48 kHz / 24 bit stereo PCM signals. So

DOLBY DIGITAL (AC3) multi-channel signals

coming from audio/video sources (such as

the audio of a film in DVD) or DTS can not be

reproduced. The output of these devices will

therefore be set in STEREO mode for the signal

to be reproduced. If digital signals at frequency

higher than 48 kHz (96 - 192 kHz) are supplied,

the Bit One locks up. In that case, turn the Bit

One off, supply the adequate signal and turn it

on again.

software from 0.6V to 10V RMS.

Mute: Bit One on. It gives priority to the phone conversation,

allowing to resume the audio reproduction when the

phone call is finished.

Mute: Bit One off. It turns the Bit One on. When a phone call

is received, the phone ringing tone is audible after around

9 seconds. Once the phone call is finished, the Bit One

turns off.
