DSP8.8 Set Manual

The DSP8.8 is a very sophisticated digital signal processor, that has been engineered to enhance the

acoustical performance of your audio system to its maximum capabilities. Zero compromises were made

to ensure that only the highest quality components were used to make such a technologically advanced

product. The heart of this high-resolution audio processor starts with a very powerful 64-bit DSP processor

chip, supported by high quality 24-bit AD & DA converters. System versatility can be optimized through

utilization of the 5 available audio source inputs. Lastly, what makes the DSP8.8 transcend above all

other automotive DSPs is that the DSP8.8 is the WORLD’S FIRST Wi-Fi streaming DSP for any device using

iOS, Android, Mac or Windows PC. This allows users full access of the most ergonomic, user friendly setup/

tuning interface to date that makes tuning the DSP8.8 a very simple and precise process no matter if

you’re using a computer running on Windows PC, Mac OS, tablets or smartphones running on iOS, or

Android operating systems.

General Safety Instructions

Before starting installation of the DSP8.8, disconnect the vehicle’s negative battery terminal to prevent

damage to the unit, or possible re and/or risk of injury. For the best performance and to ensure full

warranty coverage, we highly recommend getting this product installed by an authorized PHOENIX

GOLD dealer. Please only use the enclosed specied harnesses for proper installation of the DSP8.8. The

use of other harnesses could result in permanent unwarrantable damage of the processor, and/or the

source and connected high quality audio equipment. Mount the DSP8.8 using the supplied mounting

screws to a very solid, well-ventilated area in the vehicle that allows proper cooling and is free of moisture

and vibration.

DSP8.8 Set Manual

The Phoenix Gold DSP8.8 has 5 selectable source inputs. The following inputs are electrically connected

internally. Do not try to operate these inputs simultaneously as this may cause audible distortions or

inoperability of the processor. Please disable any unused sources.

RCA: (6 inputs) Most commonly used to connect the DSP to aftermarket head units.

HIGH LEVEL: (Molex Harness) Most commonly used to connect to an aftermarket radio without pre-amp/

line outputs.

AUX: (3.5mm jack) & (Molex Harness) Most commonly used for portable Nav/BT phone kits or low level

sources.

Two of the 5 selectable sources are digital, offering the highest level of audio resolution on the DSP8.8.

TOSLINK IN: (S/PDIF) connector accepts a 2-channel digital audio signal from any device’s optical output

via S/PDIF connector, with a sampling rate of 24bit/96kHz.

STREAM: This input covers the hi-res wireless streaming to the DRC Wi-Fi module, the wired hi-res streaming

into the Micro-USB (PC) and the USB host port for thumb or pin drives up to 16gb.

*TOSLINK OUT: (S/PDIF) connector provides a pass-through digital audio output, with no signal processing

applied. This can be used to send audio signals to a second processor for 8 additional channels.

Step1: Locate the Phoenix Gold DSP8.8 app in the Mac App Store. Click on the “Get” button beneath

the app’s star rating since the app is free.

Step 2: Click on the green “Install App” button that appears. Enter your Apple ID password if prompted.

The app you just downloaded from the Mac App Store should automatically show up in Launchpad,

ready for you to open with a single click.

Mac App Installation DSP8.8 Establishing a Connection DSP8.8

(iOS/Android): When connecting via the DRC/Wi-Fi module, a connection to this module must be

established via the Wi-Fi settings of your smart device. Activate the Wi-Fi network search on your smart

device, and search for “PhoenixDSP” network. The default password to the network is “PGDSP8.8”. This

connection process may take 30-90 seconds before the (√ PhoenixDSP) appears (see image1). When this

symbol appears, a Wi-Fi connection has been established. Wi-Fi logo on the main conguration screen

will change from “Wi-Fi NOT connected” to “Wi-Fi”. Connection via the PGDSP8.8 app to the DSP is now

possible. Android tablets also can connect and control the DSP8.8 via the PC port using an OTG cable

and a Micro-USB cable. The “Wi-Fi NOT connected” logo will be present until this USB connection is made,

it will then change to a USB logo.

To activate communication on the app, simply press the power icon. The power icon will change from

being greyed out to being orange when the processor is on and ready to begin communication (see

image 2). A pop-up window will appear, press “connect” for communication between your device and

the DSP8.8 can begin (see image 3).

When actively connected to the DSP8.8, the Phoenix icon will continuously blink while data is being

streamed between the smart device and the DSP8.8. This can also be seen on the DRC as the LED for

button #1 (see image 4). The DSP8.8 is now ready for system conguration to begin.

(Mac/PC): When connecting to the DSP8.8 to a laptop/desktop computer a connection must be made

via Wi-Fi or by connecting to the PC port with a micro-USB cable. To activate communication on the

DSP8.8 software simply press the power icon and select connect on the pop-up window. The power icon

will also change from being greyed out to being orange. When connected to the DSP8.8 the Phoenix

icon will blink every time the data is sent between the computer and the DSP8.8. The DSP8.8 is now

ready for system conguration to be started.

Conguration Screen DSP8.8 Using the Conguration Screen DSP8.8

1) Volume: Allows adjustment of the master volume of the entire audio system by rotating the volume

knob. Double tapping for tablets or double mouse clicks on Mac/PC of the rotary knob will mute the

entire audio system. The red radio button also actives and deactivates muting of the entire audio

system (see image 5). Muted channels will appear to be transparent. A single press on a tablet or a

single mouse click for Mac/PC on the volume’s numerical display will reveal the pop-up window for

exact adjustments in .50db increments (see image 6). Subwoofer level control from the DSP8.8 is off by

default. To activate the sub level control for use in the app and for use on the DRC, a long press on a

tablet or a right mouse click for Mac/PC on Ch7 and or Ch8 to reveal the pop-up window for channel

conguration, select “SUB” instead of “NORMAL” (see image 7). The master/subwoofer volume levels

can be locked by a long press on the volume knob on a tablet or a right mouse click for Mac/PC on the

lock icon. This feature can be used to set output limits or to prevent damage from excessive volume of

the audio system.

2) Crossovers: Each output channel features a pair of fully adjustable crossover lters. Crossover functions

can be activated or deactivated by a single press on a tablet or single mouse click for Mac/PC on the

red radio buttons (see image 8). The low pass lter is located on the upper left corner, high pass lter

is located on the upper right corner. Both lters must be activated to create a bandpass crossover.

Crossover frequency from 20hz - 20480hz (see image 9) along with crossover slopes from 0dB, 6dB, 12dB,

18dB, 24dB, and 30dB per octave (see image 10) can be adjusted by using the rotary knob or by a single

press on a tablet or a right mouse click for Mac/PC on the numerical displays to reveal a pop-up window

for each section of the crossover. Filter types can be selected (Butterworth, Bessel, and Linkwitz Riley) by

using the left and right arrows or single clicks for both tablets and Mac/PC to reveal a pop-up window.

For safe system testing during initial set up the crossover frequency, slope and lter types have been set

by default as follows:

Ch. 1 - 2 High Pass 3199hz @ 12dB Butterworth typically for tweeters

Ch. 3 - 6 Bandpass 3199hz - 80hz @ 12dB Butterworth typically for midrange or midbass drivers

Ch. 7 - 8 Low Pass 80hz @12dB Butterworth typically for subwoofers.

3) Source input selection/setup: There are 5 input sources available for use: RCA, Hi-Level, AUX, Stream,

and Toslink (see image 11). The RCA, Hi-Level, and AUX sources have sub menus that allow the selection

of input congurations and independent channel level adjustments to ne tune the input source and to

prevent clipping. These sub menus can be accessed by right clicking on Mac/PC or long pressing the

input’s icon on tablets (see image 12). Please remember to disable any source that isn’t being used.
