Installation
Actual installation of an XFR DSP PRO is not a difficult task. However, it takes a few tools, considerable care and precise
attention to the instructions in this manual. If you doubt that you are up to the task, or your car proves to require special
installation skills, we recommend having the work done by an authorized XFIRE AUDIO installation professional.
XFR series LIFE AMPLIFIED
1 Hi Level INPUTS These inputs are connectd to the source unit’s speaker outputs in case the source unit does not
have RCA type outputs.
2 Lo Level INPUTS (RCA) These inputs are connectd to the source unit’s RCA outputs.
3 AUX 3mm stereo jack auxilary input.
4 OPTICAL Auxilary optical input.
5 BTA DONGLE Connection for the included Blue Tooth dongle for for programming via iPad.
6 USB USB connection for programming via PC.
7 POWER This connector holds Remote input, Remote output, Ground and Positive connections.
8 Power + PRT LED indicators for power and protection circuit.
9 TURN ON/OFF Selection switch Switch for selecting Remote turn on/off (RCA inpyts) or turn on/off with auto
sensing (Hi Level inputs).
10 OUTPUT These outputs are connected to the power amplifiers input connections (RCA).

The XFR DSP PRO can be programmed via Blue Tooth by iPad (iPad Gen 4 and up, iPad Mini Gen 2 and up) or with a PC
running Windows 10 via USB.
Each time the DSP PRO starts up a window will open asking if you want to run the ConfigurationWizard, running the
Wizard is recommended with each first programming of the DSP PRO, select Yes to run theWizard.
When re connecting with an already programmed DSP PRO select Cancel to skip theWizard.
Steps within the Wizard
Step 1 - Select the Master input you are using for the DSP PRO, Hi Level (Speaker inputs) or Lo Level (RCA inputs).
Select if you will be using one of the available Auxilary inputs (Aux, Optical).
Step 2 - This is the step where you set the input/output mapping.
A matrix is shown with the available inputs on the Left (6) and the available outputs on the Top (8).
The matrix is a fast and easy way to program into the DSP PRO which input needs to be routed to which
output.You can select a single input to be routed to a single output but it is also possible to route multiple
inputs to a single output or a single input to multiple outputs, the signals will automatically be summed by
the DSP PRO.
Important to know: Subwoofers should always be connected to output Ch7 - Ch8, these output channels
are connected to the subwoofer output volume control of the DSP PRO.
Step 3 - All 8 outputs are shown here, you can now select what kind of speaker each output will be connected to.
Choose Next to have the basic setup written to the DSP PRO.
Now go to Configuration and select Store DSP, this command will save the settings selected with the Wizard in the
DSP PRO. Repeat“Store DSP”each time you have changed settings of the DSP PRO (X-over, EQ,Time Alignment settings).
Xover & EQ screen
The top portion of this screen holds all the settings to program the desired crossover function for each output of the
DSP PRO. For the selected output channel you can choose from a default X-overType selection depending on the kind of
speaker you selected in step 3 of the Configuration Wizard.You can choose the desired HP and LP Freq as well as the
X-over Slope and of course which X-over Model (Butterworth or Linkwitz/Riley).
The bottom portion of this screen holds a 31 band equalizer section which can be adjusted for each output channel.
For each output channel there is the option to use a Graphic Equalizer (GEQ) or Parametric Equalizer (PEQ).
The car drawing with the system layout on the Left side of this screen shows which output channel you are programming,
the selected output channel will be lit up in Blue. You can select a different output channel by selecting the speaker in
the drawing.The frequency graph in the middle of the screen shows you information of the output signal of the selected
output channel.

Delay & Level screen
On the top Left of the screen you can find the Dynamic Range Compression circuit. This cicuit can be used to protect the
system for clipping signals.The Dynamic Range Compression needs to be set for each output channel and you need to
have the ability to measure the exact signal voltage of when the clipping of the output occurs.This circuit is switched off
from default, we recommend to leave this switched off unless you have acces to and know how to work with the right
measuring equipement.
The middle of the screen shows the car drawing with the system layout as in the previous screen. Again the drawing is
used to select the output channel to program.
Center right side of the screen you can find the Time Alignment settings for each output channel. Here you can program
the amount of delay each output channel needs to setup the perfect sound stage. The maximum delay time for each
output channel is 25mS.
Bottom Left shows the same Matrix as in Step 2 of the Configuration Wizard, in standard working mode this Matrix has
no function. When the DSP PRO is switched into Expert Mode quick changes to the input/output mapping can be made
with this Matrix. By default the DSP PRO is in Standard working mode.
Bottom Right shows the Output Level settings for all output channels as well as the MasterVolume and SubVolume
settings. Here you will set the output level for each output channel. You also have the option to have an output channel
Muted or not, By default all output channels are Muted!
Master volume setting gives you the option to control the total output level of the DSP PRO.
SubVolume setting gives you the option to control only the subwoofer level of the DSP PRO, Sub Volume only works with
output CH7 -CH8 and only if these channels are selected for subwoofer application in Step 3 of the ConfigurationWizard.

File menu
In the file menu you can select to store all the settings you made in your iPad or PC. Simply select Store All Setup and
the program will store all programmed settings in a file on your device.
With Load All Setup you can retrieve a stored settings file to load it into a DSP PRO.
Config menu
When connection with the DSP PRO is lost Engage in the Config menu will reconnect the iPad or PC with the DSP PRO.
Run Configuration Wizard starts up the Wizard and resets the DSP PRO to default settings at the same time.
Store DSP this is an important selection to remember, Store DSP saves all settings to the DSP PRO so your programmed
settings will not be lost after switching off the system.
REM Output Delay here you can set a delay for the remote out of the DSP PRO in case you experience noises when the
system is switched on or off.
Working Mode gives you the option to switch the DSP PRO from Standard mode in to Expert mode. From default the
DSP PRO is set to Standard, setting it to Expert mode will unlock restrictions set to the x-over section.
With Password Protection you can lock your DSP settings with a password so other persons cannot change any your DSP
settings.
Input selection
Directly select one of the inputs used with the DSP PRO. Each input needs to be programmed separately.
Preset Selection
Directly select and program each preset of the DSP PRO. Each preset has to be programmed separately.
To make programming of presets easier select Preset, a drop down menu will show where you can select to copy from
one of the other already programmed presets or to copy from an already programmed input of the DSP PRO.
