TARAMPS ELECTRONICS LTDA Alfredo Marcondes - SP Brazil Hereby, Taramps Electronics Ltda declares that the product PRO 2.4D complies with the Directive 2014/30/EU, according with the following harmonized standard: At the end of its lifespan, this product must -EN 50498:2010 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - not be disposed of in household waste. Look Product family standard for aftermarket electronic equipment in vehicles for an electronic equipment collection or The full text of the EU Declaration of Conformity is available at recycling center for proper disposal. the Product Page on Internet. Safety requirements To ensure proper use, please read through this manual before using the processor. It is specially important that you know the CAUTIONS contained here. - The installation of this product must be done by a qualified professional. - Use the correct tools for installing this product. - This product is for use with 12V batteries. Always check the voltage before installing. - This product must be installed in a firm location and away from heat sources. - Never install the product in places exposed to dust, humidity and water. Pay attention to install it far from fuel tank, fuel lines, heat sources and other parts of vehicle. - Be sure to install protection fuse or a circuit braker near to battery. Follow the ampere rating as indicated here in this manual. Use of improper fuse or circuit breaker could result in overheat, smoke, damage to product, injury or burns. - Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through car's body. - Automotive sound systems may produce high sound pressure levels. Avoid continuous exposure to levels over 85dB to prevent permanent hearing loss. Key recommendations The wire gauge for power supply connections is 1,5mm² (15 AWG) for positive and negative wires, and 0,50mm² (20 AWG) for remote signal wire. For protection against overload, install a fuse on positive wire, close to battery terminal (1A). See page 12. 1 - Power supply negative: Connect to negative pole of battery. 2 - Remote signal input: Connect to remote signal output from head unit. 3 - Remote ouput: For connection in amplifiers 4 - Powe supply positive: Connect to positive pole (12V) of battery. Safety As you read this manual, pay attention to the safety symbols. CAUTION This symbol with "CAUTION" is intended to alert the user to the presence of important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions will result in risk of injury to user or product damage. Taramps reserves the right to modify the contents of this document at any time without prior notice and does not have the obligation to apply the changes in units which were previously produced. 02 High Level input (B and A) Processor overview LCD Display Power supply connectors Input clip LED indicator PRO 2.4 d TARAMPS Rotary encoder LED indicators limiter and clip and output Select / Mute keys Signal Input (A & B) Signal output ways 1 ~ 4 RCA signals input: Input for low level / high impedance (RCA) signals. WIRE High Level Input: Input for high level / low impedance signals (from the speaker output of the players or multimedia center). It features function of automatic turn-on by the input signal, so it eliminates the use of the REMOTE IN wire from the power connector when using this input. Note: The system is designed for use in virtually all multimedia head units on the market. However, on some head units , you may not get the trigger effect due to the type of audio output circuit. In this case, use the REMOTE wire for triggering it normally. Input clip indicator LED: It shows that the signal is reaching the maximum limit of the processor input, which causes signal distortion. If it comes on, reduce the volume of the signal source and readjust the system gains accordingly. Limiter / clip LEDs: They have a dual function: They indicate that the signal from that output has reached the maximum level (when the limiter is off ) or the actuation of the limiter (when the signal reaches the threshold de ned in the limiter). Power connector: See page 12. Screens & basic operation: Idioma/language >PORTUGUES INITIAL SETUP: When turned on for the first me, the processor waits for the language to be set. Choose the desired language and confirm with a quick touch in the center of the encoder. Turning the encoder knob (clockwise or counterclockwise), adjusts the master volume (Input volume).

Menu selection, option or parameter change can be done by pressing the center of the encoder. Note: In any of the audio adjustment screens, the hotkeys for channels 1 to 4 allow you to check and adjust the parameters of each channel without leaving the desired option Tip: To ne-tune a parameter or increment/decrement the number after the decimal point, rotate the encoder slowly. E.g., in the signal level (dB) adjustments, the increment will be 0.1dB when turning the encoder slowly, and 1dB when turning it more continuously and quickly.

The position of transducer's voice coil should be taken in account in order to set the optimal delay value. Selected Output DELAY ----> OUT1 0.0cm 0.000ms Distance Delay me Rotate the rotary encoder to set the delay amount to be applied. The voice coils of each transducers isn't aligned inside the acoustic box, so there is some delay that can degrade the perfect audio playing. The Delay feature apply different delay amount for each output way, in order to get the perfect audio alignment. How to set the delay parameter value (centimeter): Reference position (*) Acoustic box front panel A 1 Set the reference coil (*) farthest from the box panel (in our example, the reference was the center of the horn coil) 2 Measure the other channels and find the measure A . A Set the closest measurement (in cm) for each channel. 3 Repeat the procedure for the other channels (the channel selection can be done through the keys of each channel). A 07 -Phase: Allows inverting the phase of the channel output signal, selecting option [180].Select the channel using the OUT1 to OUT4 selection keys and select the desired phase by turning the encoder.

Selected output RMS func on PEAK func on RMS OUT1 1.00V Thresh: -6.0dB Max level voltage Output RMS* Limiter in RMS function: Parameter Parameter value Limiter that acts with reference to the RMS value of the audio signal, prevents overheating of the speakers due to excessive power. RMS Threshold Threshold Gain Limiter parameters: Modes: MANUAL = Manual Attack, Hold and Release adjustment; AUTO: Sets the Attack, Hold and Release parameters automatically, according to the channel frequency cutoff (HPF). Threshold Point when the limiter begins to act (indicated by the RED LED on each lane turning on). To turn off the limiter, turn the encoder clockwise until [OFF] appears in the threshold value. Attack, or Attack time Time needed to limiter reduce the gain after the signal reaches the threshold. Hold Time that the limiter keeps the signal attenuated even after its level drops below the threshold. Release, or Release time Time needed to limiter return to the original gain after the signal drops below the threshold. Threshold Release Hold A ack * According to Threshold selected. The accuracy of this measurement depends on the signal frequency as a function of the Attack time. At low frequencies, very fast attack times can affect measurement accuracy. 08 Limiter in PEAK function: Limiter that acts with reference to the PICO value of the audio signal, prevents mechanical damage and overheating of the speakers due to excessive displacement.

Hold Time that the limiter keeps the signal attenuated even after its level drops below the threshold (Dynamic). Release, or Release time Time needed to for the limiter to return to the original gain after the signal drops below the threshold.
