5. راه اندازی و نصب

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance of your Helix DSP PRO MK2. Follow these steps carefully:

5.1 نصب کردن واحد

Choose a secure, dry location in your vehicle that allows for adequate ventilation and easy access to connections. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and free from vibrations. Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the DSP PRO MK2.

5.2 اتصالات برق

Connect the power wires to the designated terminals on the DSP PRO MK2 power connector:

• GND (زمینی): به یک سطح فلزی تمیز و بدون رنگ شاسی خودرو متصل کنید. از اتصال محکم و کم مقاومت اطمینان حاصل کنید.
• +12V (Battery): Connect directly to the vehicle's positive battery terminal via a fused power cable. The fuse should be located within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.
• REM (روشن کردن از راه دور): Connect to the remote output of your head unit or an ignition-switched 12V source. The DSP PRO MK2 also features an 'Auto Remote' function for high-level input sensing.

5.3 اتصالات ورودی

The DSP PRO MK2 offers various input options:

• RCA Line Inputs (A-H): Connect your head unit's RCA pre-outs to these inputs. The sensitivity can be adjusted via software.
• ورودی های سطح بالا: For integration with OEM head units that lack RCA outputs, connect your speaker-level signals to the high-level input connector. The ADEP circuit ensures compatibility with factory diagnostic systems.
• Digital Inputs (Coaxial/Optical): Connect digital audio sources (e.g., media players, external DACs) to the SPDIF coaxial or optical inputs. Switching between these inputs is controlled via the DSP PC-Tool software.
