1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION / PRECAUTIONARY NOTES
The bit Ten D is a digital signal processor essential to maximize the acoustic performance of your car audio system.
It consists of a 32-bit DSP processor and 24-bit AD and DA converters.
It can connect to any factory system, even in vehicles featuring an integrated audio processor, since, thanks to the
de-equalization function, the bit Ten D will send back a linear signal.
It features 8 signal inputs: 4 Hi-Level, 1 Aux Stereo, 1 Phone, 1 S/PDIF optical digital. It provides 5 PRE OUT analog
and 8 digital outputs.
Each output channel has a 31-band equalizer available. It also features a 66-frequency electronic crossover as well as
BUTTERWORTH or LINKWITZ filters with 6-24 dB slopes and a digital time delay line. The user can select adjustments
that allow him or her to interact with the bit Ten D through a remote control device called DRC.

WARNING: the head unit level must be elevated to the maximum undistorted level. If the head unit distortion
level can not be tested in advance, bring the volume to approximately 80% of its maximum. If the head unit
output level is set too low, the device will produce ground noise (hissing sound) when playing music
tracks. This is due to the low signal / noise ratio provided by the bit Ten D input head unit. If you have this
problem after you calibrated the amplifiers sensitivity (see 7.3), increase the head unit volume and
repeat the bit Ten D calibration procedure as detailed in the following chapter 6.4.

6. HOW TO SETUP THE bit Ten D WITHOUT A PC
The bit Ten D can be used without a PC and in this case it will not be possible to use the AD Link digital outputs.
In this case, you can mainly use only the DE-EQ (de-equalization) function to eliminate any pre-existing equalization in
the audio system, usually installed as standard by the car manufacturer.
The device will store the following default settings:
1. Front and Rear stereo broadband inputs;
2. Phone input with automatic switching when a call is received;
3. AUX input that can be selected if the DRC is available;
4. Front and Rear stereo broadband outputs;
5. Mono Lo-pass filtered SUB output at 150Hz / 12dB Oct.
6.1 HOW TO CALIBRATE THE MASTER FRONT-REAR INPUT SENSITIVITY
1. Connect the head unit speaker outputs to the bit Ten D high-level input (see 4.2) .
Before turning on the system, make sure the amplifiers RCA plugs are disconnected from the bit Ten D
to avoid speaker damage during the calibration procedure.
The input calibration procedure must be performed with the ignition turned on. In this case, the car voltage is about
14.0 Volts. The head unit will provide an undistorted output signal at higher volume.
2. Make sure that the IN Level knobs for the inputs used (L / R Front, L / R Rear, Phone, Aux IN L-R) are set to
minimum sensitivity as in the figure (position -).
WARNING: All outputs have no equalization or time delays. If you wish to use the Rear output,
you will have to connect the head unit Rear outputs to the bit Ten D input.

4. How to IN LEVEL calibrate the MASTER inputs.
This procedure is delicate and requires particular attention. Improper execution can invalidate the final acoustic
results. The bit Ten D outputs must be disconnected from the amplifiers.

 • Repeattheprocedurefortheother3Front/Rearknobs.
 • Notethecalibrationlevelusedbytheheadunitvolumecontrol.
WARNING: Some factory head units require a low load impedance to enable the outputs (usually the Rear section). If
during the calibration process the input signal level can’t be adjusted, it may be necessary to connect in
parallel a 47Ω- 3W resistor to the input cables of the channels showing the issue.
   Audiosystemsinstalledasstandardbycarmanufacturersoftencomewithequalizedoutputs.
This means that the response curve is not flat and the difference between the highest and the lowest level
can reach 6 dB. By calibrating the device so that the LED never lights up, the bit Ten D sensitivity may be
   suboptimal(low)andyoumayexperiencenoise(whistle)onthespeakers.AfewquickLEDflashesindicate

6.2 SOURCE DE-EQUALIZATION
Source de-equalization (De-Eq) is only required if the source is equalized.
OEM sources (installed as standard by the car manufacturer) often have a high output level (speaker output) with preset
equalizationthatcannotbedeleted.
Byreplacingthefactoryaudiosystem(speakersand/oramplifiers),thisequalizationisharmful.

If the calibration volume is lost, to find it simply proceed again as described in paragraphs
6.1.1 - 6.1.3 and verify that
the IN LEVEL LEDs flash occasionally.
The DRC can display the calibration level, if your system has it
(see 10.2) .

6.3 AMPLIFIERS SENSITIVITY CALIBRATION
6.4 HOW TO CALIBRATE THE PHONE AND AUX IN INPUT SENSITIVITIES
Once the bit Ten Dinputcalibrationorde-equalization(ifany)proceduresarecomplete,youcancalibrateamplifiers
sensitivity.
•Settheamplifierscrossoverfiltersasdesiredandthenconnectthemtothespeakers.
 •Connectthebit Ten D PRE outputs (Front - Rear - Sub outputs) to the amplifiers inputs using high quality RCA cables.
 •Settheamplifierssensitivityofthevariouschannelstoabout4.0Volts.
Once the system is calibrated and fully working through the Front / Rear inputs, you can calibrate the PHONE and AUX
IN inputs.
- PHONE: To use this input you need to connect a phone hands-free kit (see 5.6).
Make a phone call, speak loudly and adjust the IN Level / PHONE knob until the LED flashes sporadically.
- AUX IN: To use this input you need to install the DRC (optional).
Through the DRC select AUX (see 10).
-If a source with a CD player is connected to the AUX input, disconnect the bit Ten D outputs from the amplifiers
and proceed as detailed in chapters 6.1.3 - 6.1.4.
-If the source to be connected to the AUX IN input has no CD player (e.g. mp3 player), you can calibrate by
listening.
A - Connect the bit Ten D RCA inputs (AUX IN) to the head unit output.
B - Play a music track.
C - Turn the IN Level / AUX knobs until the first distortion symptoms appear. Check if the IN Level / AUX LEDs
flash occasionally.
1. Amplifiers sensitivity calibration by listening.
 •Placetheheadunitvolumewherethebit Ten D inputs were calibrated and play a highly dynamic track.
 •Workontheamplifierssensitivitycontrolsslowlybringingthemtohighersensitivity(lessthan4.0Volts).Once
the first distortion symptoms show you should stop. This is easier if you work on one channel (stereo) at a
time by disconnecting the other channels / amplifiers inputs.
 •Oncetheamplifiersarecalibrated,reconnectallthesystemchannelsand,ifnecessary,reducethesensitivity
(back to 4.0 Volts) of those channels that may have excessive volume.
2. Amplifiers sensitivity instrument calibration.
For instrument analysis, you will need an oscilloscope.
 •Disconnectallspeakersfromtheamplifiersifalreadyconnected.
 •Playtrack1ofthe bit Ten D CD. All source controls must be flat (0).
The volume control should be placed on the bit Ten D input calibration level.
 •Connecttheoscilloscopetoanamplifieroutputchannel.Thevideowilldisplayasinewavewithvariable
frequency (sweep).
 •Turnthesensitivitycontrolinbothdirectionsuntilthesine
wave looks slightly cut at both ends.
 •Repeatforeachamplifierchannel.
 •ReconnectthespeakersandinsertaCDwithamusictrack.
Reduce the sensitivity (by turning the knob toward 4.0 Volts)
of those channels that may have excessive volume.
