What’s Included
Wire Recommendations
For this setup, use a direct burial, multi-stranded wire designed for amplifier to
speakers connections. 70V systems greatly minimize the eect of speaker wire
(resistance) which allows you to use a lighter gauge wire. Refer to this chart to
select the minimum wire gauge ---Heavier gauge wire is always OK.

Startup
Aer the installation of the device is complete you will see the startup page on the
display. If the amplifier is in Standby mode, press and hold the Standby button for
a few seconds to exit the Standby Mode to the main page.
We have simplified set-up by limiting front panel adjustments to that of
loading internal presets and setting channel levels. All other DSP adjustments
require the use of the dedicated soware program. To download the dedicated
soware program refer to the DSP3-700 section under the electronics tab
at www.originacoustics.com
This amplifier is a highly flexible and intelligent digital audio 3 Channel Class D
power amplifier. The DSP3-700 delivers up to a total of 2,100W @4Ω or is able
to drive 70/100V constant voltage lines. All setup parameters for input/output
processes and DSP features are accessible by using the remote PC soware. Each
DSP3-700 has space for 56 profiles and comes preloaded with 54 DSP presets
optimized for Origin Acoustics’ speakers/subwoofers, assuring peak performance.

The DSP3-700 features a third channel to provide an easy way to control the low-
end output of passive subwoofers. With a selection of preloaded DSP presets,
to match every outdoor speaker in our arsenal, set-up is as easy as selecting the
one that’s right for your design configuration. Or you can customize and store
settings for each specific project should you choose. Independent settings can be
assigned to each of the three channels, which can also independently drive 4Ω or
70V signals.
It is essential to configure before installing the system

If you have a problem, try isolating it first. For example, if you’re playing a DVD
and there is no sound, try replacing the DVD with an MP3 player to see if you get
sound. If it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the
cables connecting them. If it doesn’t work, the problem will be with the amplifier,
speakers, or those cables.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause
No Sound
The volume may be turned down or muted. Check the volume
settings on both the amplifier and the television/computer/CD
player/etc.
No Sound Make sure the proper source is selected on the amplifier or re-
ceiver.
No Sound
Check the cord connecting the amplifier with the source. The
cord may be damaged or plugged into the wrong input or out-
put.
No Sound
Check the wires connecting the amplifier with the speakers.
Make sure they’re connected properly and not damaged in any
way.
Poor Sound
Quality
If you hear something like static, or the sound is cutting in and
out, check the audio cables. If the problem increases when a
cable is being moved, then the cable is most likely faulty or not
connected properly.
Poor Sound
Quality
Today’s audio systems may have several places to adjust the
volume, for example your MP3 player may have a volume
control, and your amplifier may also have one. Check to be
certain that the volume isn’t turned up past 80% on any device.
Poor Sound
Quality
Try changing sources to be certain that the selection you’ve
chosen is a good quality recording.
