prides itself on striving to develop and manufacture products to the highest engineering quality standards and seamlessly integrating these products with factory audio visual systems. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the DA3 allows for complete control and tuning of your DA3 unit, with a 1024 point parametric equalizer for each channel, time alignment, phase adjustment as well as channel summing for ‘mono’ usage such as with a subwoofer or centre channel. This manual will explain how to use this GUI to maximize your listening experience. The GUI is available for both PC & MAC, and can be downloaded from our website. We hope you enjoy your new enhanced listening experience! Welcome Common Install Notes 01 Prior to commencing any installation! Some vehicles may need to be coded for the M1000-M-DA for correct operation. Coding Notes for your individual vehicle can be found in the Quick Installation Guide. 02 Initially, please set the gain controls on your analogue amplifiers to minimum. This will reduce noise significantly and allow your amplifiers to run smother for longer. NB: We recommend that you use the M1000-M-DA gain control as your master set up gain.

USER MANUAL | M1000-M-DA3 The Graphical User Interface can be downloaded from our website, and can be used in both online and offline mode. However, in order to ‘Map the Channels’ you will need to be connected to the DA3 with power connected too. Offline mode allows you to configure Graphic EQ settings and store them for later fine-tuning in the car if desired. We recommend all tuning be done with a ‘Live’ System, because this way you can hear all changes being made in real time. Graphic EQ, Crossover settings and Time Alignment changes, can all be heard as you make the changes when ‘Live’. Connecting and Channel Mapping Once downloaded, we recommend you open the application and connect to your DA unit via a USB cable (not provided). If power is connected to the DA and turned on, you will see the screen shown in FIG 01 on the following page. The first thing you will need to do is to select the vehicle the DA is being installed to from the drop down menu in the middle of the screen. Then configure the channels for the correct mapping of your particular system. Graphical User Interface Operation First select a speaker from the image of the vehicle then from the drop down menu in the middle of the screen, select the channel output you have connected for that particular speaker. Repeat this for each speaker and its corresponding output channel. When running a component speaker system with a passive crossover, only select one of the speakers in the cluster. It is not important which speaker is chosen, as this is only the mapping stage. Crossover settings will allow for correct settings for this type of speaker system! When connecting a Mono Subwoofer or centre channel speaker, simply select the speaker image and click the ‘Left’ & ‘Right’ buttons for the input mapping in order for the DA3 to know that this is a ‘summed’ channel output, providing information from both the left and right hand sides. Channels mapped as a Subwoofer or as the Center channel will not be affected by fade and balance controls.

USER MANUAL | M1000-M-DA3 If you are running a passive crossover on your component speakers, then select High Pass filter and simply lower the crossover point to allow for Mid-Bass or Midrange frequencies. To adjust the crossover point, there are two methods: 01 Simply type a number into the Lo-P Hz or Hi-P Hz boxes provided 02 Drag the 3db down point (shown as a grey or blue dot on the Graphic Screen) to the desired frequency. As you make the adjustments, you will hear the difference your changes make if you are connected and powered on! Crossover (Filter) Set up After channel mapping, you will need to set the crossover for each of the speakers connected. To do this, first click on the ‘Channel EQ’ TAB at the top left corner of the screen. This will open the Full EQ page for the individual speaker selected. You will also note a ‘XOVER L/R LINK’ radio button. This allows you to set up both left and right crossovers simultaneously. It is very unusual to have separate crossover settings for the same type of speaker on opposite sides of the vehicle. In the middle of the screen you will see the ‘Filter type’ drop down menu. Select your desired crossover.
