Introduction
Your DriveCore Install amplifier has a wide variety of onboard Digital Signal Processing (DSP). HiQnet Audio
Architect software lets you adjust the DSP settings, such as filter slope, compression ratio, EQ frequency bands, and so on.
A preset is a group of DSP settings that configure the amp for a specific application. For example, you might use one preset that optimizes the amp’s
DSP for a JBL tri-amplified speaker setting. You might use another preset that sets up the DSP for a stereo pair of loudspeakers of your choice. You can
choose any of 20 presets.
User Presets
User presets are DSP presets that are configured manually. The following three steps outlines setting up User Presets.
1. Adjust the DSP settings as desired in the Audio Architect software.
2. Save this group of settings as preset, you will be prompted to name it.
3. Download the preset to the DriveCore Install amplifier. See the software Help file for details. As soon as you save the setting as a preset, it is sent to the amplifier.
Amplifier Presets and Speaker Tunings
Preset 1 is the factory default preset and cannot be overwritten. It sets up the amplifier for pass-thru operation with no DSP features enabled. The DriveCore Install amplifier
works with two types of presets:
User presets – Using Audio Architect, you can create your own custom DSP presets, label them, and
send them to the DriveCore Install amplifier. The amp stores those presets in firmware.
Downloadable Presets – Available for download from a variety of manufacturers, these presets are
configured for optimal performance and can be sent to the amplifier via Audio Architect.
