Blue/White - Amp Turn-On Wire Setup Instructions MOBILE APP · General information tab for installing the interface. Continued on the next page REV. 7/30/2020 INSTAXDSPX-GL44 5 Bluetooth Connection MOBILE APP (CONT.) · Scan - Press this button to start the Bluetooth pairing process, then select the interface once it is found. "Connected" will appear in the top left corner of the app once paired. Note: The ignition must be cycled on during this process. · Disconnect - Disconnects the interface from the app. Continued on the next page 6 Configuration MOBILE APP (CONT.) · Identify - Click this button to send a test tone to the front left speaker*. * Only installations using the front left output (white RCA jack). · Reset to Defaults - Resets the interface to factory settings. During the reset process the amp(s) will shut off for 5-10 seconds. · Vehicle Type - Select the vehicle type from the drop down box, then click the apply button. · Lock Down - Click this button to save the selected settings. Attention! This must be done before closing the app or cycling the key otherwise all new changes will be lost! · Save Configuration - Saves the current configuration to the mobile device. · Recall Configuration - Recalls a configuration from the mobile device. · About - Displays information about the app, vehicle, interface, and mobile device. · Set Password - Assign a 4-digit password to lock the interface. If no password is desired, use "0000". This will clear out any currently set password. It is not necessary to lock down the interface when setting a password. Note: A 4-digit only password must be chosen otherwise the interface will show "password not valid for this device".

Output Channels · Location - Location of speaker. · Group - Used to join channels together for simple equalization. Example, left front woofer/midrange and left front tweeter will be considered simply left front. The letter M indicates the speaker assigned as the master speaker. · Invert - Will invert the phase of the speaker. · Mute - Will mute desired channel(s) for tuning individual channels. Continued on the next page 8 Crossover Adjust MOBILE APP (CONT.) · If installing a subwoofer, the front and rear outputs will default to a 100Hz high pass filter to keep the low frequency signals out. If a subwoofer is not being installed, change the front and rear crossover points down to 20Hz for a full range signal, or to the lowest frequency the speakers will play down to. · Selecting High Pass and Low Pass will provide one crossover frequency adjustment. Selecting Band Pass will provide two crossover frequency adjustments, one for low pass, and one for high pass. Continued on the next page REV. 7/30/2020 INSTAXDSPX-GL44 9 Equalizer Adjust MOBILE APP (CONT.) · All channels can be adjusted independently within this tab with 31 bands of available equalization. It is best to tune this by using an RTA (Real Time Analyzer). · The Gain slider on the far left is for the channel selected. 10 Continued on the next page Delay Adjust MOBILE APP (CONT.) · Allows a delay of each channel. If a delay is desired, first measure the distance (in inches) from each speaker to the listening position, then enter those values to the corresponding speaker. Add (in inches) to the desired speaker to delay it. Continued on the next page REV. 7/30/2020 INSTAXDSPX-GL44 11 Inputs/Levels MOBILE APP (CONT.) · Chime Volume - Allows the chime volume to be adjusted up or down. · Clipping Level - Use this feature to protect sensitive speakers like tweeters from being driven past their capabilities. If the output signal of the interface clips the audio will be reduced by 20dB. Turning down the stereo will allow the audio to come back at a normal level. The sensitivity of this feature can be adjusted to the listening preference of the user. · Amp Turn On · Signal Sense - Will turn the amp(s) on when an audio signal is detected, and keep on for 10 seconds after the last signal. This ensures the amp(s) won't shut off between tracks. · Always On - Will keep the amp(s) on as long as the ignition is cycled on. · Turn on Delay - Can be used to delay audio output to avoid turn-on pops. · Subwoofer Input - Select Front + Rear Continued on the next page 12 Locking Down Data MOBILE APP (CONT.)
