1. Power Mode: Select the either energy-saving or “always-on” power mode
- Auto: Amp goes into standby after no detected signal input for 20 minutes*
- On: Amp is always on, regardless of input signal status.
* Amp will automatically turn on typically in one second or less once audio signals are resumed.
2. Analog input attenuation: Affects analog balanced and unbalanced inputs only.
- Normal: No attenuation.
- Hi: Attenuates input signal by -6dB.
3. USB Control: Used for PC-GUI communication with custom PC software included with your amp.
4. Feature Control: Single knob digital actuator with single/double-click enabled with rotary scrolling to navigate the amp’s extensive feature menu.
5. Limiter LED: Lit when Limiter is active (Red).
6. Standby/On LED:

DSP Processing Block Diagram

Controlling your Subwoofer via PC GUI
Volume/Phase

- USB link indicator: When the communication via USB with amp is successful, the GUI’s LED indicator will light green. Otherwise, LED stays red.
- Processing Selection: Navigate across the DSP menu to adjust various DSP parameters.
- Sub in/out monitor: Monitor the input signal and sub output signal levels.
- Tools Drop Down Menu: Utilities for amp DSP management.
- Volume: Adjust the level (gain) of the subwoofer output.
- Phase: Continuously adjustable phase from 0° to 180°.
.
Low Pass and Subsonic Filters


- Filter ON/OFF Button: Enable or disable the selected filter.
- Slope: Select roll-off gradient of the selected filter: -12dB/-24dB per octave.
- Frequency (Hz): Adjust cut-off frequency of the selected filter
.
5-Band Parametric Equalizer
PEQ Window: Graphical trace is NRT editable. Bands can be shaped by cursor or direct input and/or sliders
- 5 Band-digital PEQ adjustments:
Band On/Off: Bypass or enable by clicking the colorized 1~5 buttons
- Center Frequency (CF): Adjust Center Frequency of each EQ band, 10~200Hz, steps: 1Hz.
- Gain: Adjust the EQ gain (apparent volume), -12 ~ +6dB, steps: 0.1dB
- Q (EQ width): Adjust the “Q” value, 0.4~16 , step: 0.1
.
Dual-Band Limiter

- Threshold: Adjust the limiter threshold, 0~-12dB, step: 0.1dB
- Attack: Adjust limiter’s “attack time”. This controls the time taken to attenuate signals over the threshold to the specified threshold level. Range: 1/5/10/20/100ms
- Release: Adjust limiter's “release time”. When signal is below threshold level, this controls the time taken to restore back to original level. Range: 60/120/240/480/1000/2000ms
- Frequency: The crossover frequency point between the 2 bands: Band 1 (Low Frequency) & Band 2 (High Frequency).
..
High Frequency Out

This block controls the DSP parameters for line level output only.
Delay: Adjust the time difference between High Frequency out and Subwoofer out.
HPF Control:
- Filter ON/OFF: Bypass or Enable the selected filter.
- Slope: Select roll-off gradient of the selected filter: -12dB/-24dB per octave.
- Frequency: Adjust cut-off frequency of the selected filter.

The products of this premium DIY audio brand are produced in North America, Europe, and Asia. Dayton Audio products have received acclaim worldwide throughout the years and are often compared favourably to similar items costing far more.
Dayton Audio woofers
The dominant component in a majority of loudspeaker designs, woofers are responsible for much of a system's tone and character. Don't underestimate this cornerstone element—Dayton Audio has the perfect woofer for every application and budget. Discover some of Dayton’s high-quality audio woofers, such as the popular Dayton Audio Ultimax UM18-22 from the powerful Ultimax Series, the Dayton Audio RSS390HF-4 featuring ultra-low distortion or check out the never-failing Dayton Audio PS95-8 full-range woofer.
Tweeters from Dayton Audio
Although they are the smallest driver in most loudspeakers, tweeters play an important role in our auditory information perception. Clarity, articulation, imaging—Dayton Audio tweeters make your speaker system come alive! Discover the immense popular Dayton Audio air motion tweeters and dome tweeters! Dayton Audio tweeters, such as the Dayton Audio AMTPRO-4, provide ultra-clean, detailed, and dynamic treble output.

Dayton Audio Designer Series
The Designer Series by Dayton Audio was developed specifically with the speaker designer in mind. It is an affordable, attractive line of drivers that puts performance first. Careful engineering ensures that the Dayton Audio DS135-8 5" Designer Series Woofer can handle full rated power at the lowest possible frequencies—without exceeding Xmax. The series combines useful performance parameters with elegant style.
Dayton Audio Ultimax Series
Most low-frequency drivers smear, distort, or alter their input waveform. Ultimax DVC subwoofers by Dayton Audio, such as the Dayton Audio UM12-22 woofer, sweep a higher volume of air while preventing false, deceptive reproduction. They are designed to deliver powerful low-end response from modest-sized enclosures.
