PRODUCT FEATURES
Pure Class D amplifier technology
Alpine’s PDP‑E802DSP features a complete digital audio chain. Once the analogue input signal is
converted to digital, the signal remains fully digital in the processing and amplification stage.
Smart high level input
The latest generation of factory car radios include sophisticated diagnosis capabilities. If a regular
amplifier is connected, errors maybe detected potentially leading to a shutdown of the radio’s outputs.
PDP‑E802DSP features incorporated dummy‑loads to overcome the related problems.
Start-Stop capability
The Alpine PDP‑E802DSP assures a constant internal power supply, even if the battery voltage drops
significantly during engine start.
Alpine Sound Lab for PDP-E80xDSP for Windows PC
A sophisticated software for setting EQ, Time Correction, Crossover and Gain. This tool was designed by the
ALPINE sound team with the needs of the audiophile in mind. Wired and wireless connection available.
Alpine Remote Control App for PDP-E80xDSP for iOS and Android for Windows PC
Recall presets, change sources and control the volume right from your smartphone.
Optical input and HD Audio Streaming
High quality sources are not only limited to S/PDIF compatible devices, HD Audio content can be
streamed directly to the amplifier (additional apps may be needed).
Realtime GAIN adjustment
You get immediate feedback in the Alpine Sound Lab for PDP‑E802DSP (PC software) if any input
channel starts clipping. You can then simply reduce the input gain of the affected channel to achieve a
perfect signal match.
Power Save Mode
The Power Save Mode is automatically entered along with the Auto‑Remote feature. The amplifier
permanently monitors the inputs and remains switched off if no valid audio signal detected. This does
significantly reduce the power in such standby state. Same for potentially connected further amplifiers.
Many modern vehicle’s factory radios are CAN controlled and their in‑built amplifiers may unnecessarily
enter/remain in ON state for a while, even if not at all in use. Conventional aftermarket amplifiers would
unnecessarily switch on a drain the battery in those cases. PDP‑E802DSP only turns on, if there is an
audio signal being detected at its inputs.
Parallel mode
With this setting you can select the desired channel pairs to enter parallel mode. This would on the one
hand reduce the number of independently available output channels, but on the other hand improve
the output’s damping behavior. It virtually shares the connected load among the two paralleled output’s
(ex. a connected 2Ω load would appear as 4Ω to each of the two paralleled outputs).
Freely configurable source routing
PDP‑E802DSP’s analog input signal processing allows an individual signal routing and mixing to
each output channel. Mixing levels can be selected by useful percentage preset values independent
for analogue, USB and Toslink sources. This makes it very easy to configure for instance a center
speaker signal by simply summing up the desired input signals.
Please follow the flowchart below when installing the
PDP‑E802DSP for the first time. Before completing the
installation, we recommend to update the
PDP‑E802DSP to the latest firmware.

INPUT CONFIGURATION
Set the jumpers accordig to your connection
method to the headunit.
High Level inputs (speaker line)
Important:
For setting the High/Low level jumpers make sure
the power is disconnected.
To change the position of a jumper, it has to be
removed by pulling it straight up. Make sure that
the jumper is reinserted properly and all pins are
fully inserted.
Default setting is low level input.
PARALLEL MODE
Depending on the system setup there are two
options for driving 2Ω loads (e.g. subwoofer).
Load Selection for High Level Inputs
If PDP‑E802DSP is replacing an OEM amplifier,
which has been driven by the factory headunit’s
speaker outputs, it is often the case that those
outputs are configured in so called line driver
mode. (DC bias voltage without signal vs. GND
is approx. 3V.)If so, it may be required to set the
corresponding PDP‑E802DSP speaker inputs’
impedance to 100Ω by removing the yellow
jumpers in order to prevent the headunit from
shutting down its speaker outputs.
Low Level inputs (RCA)
Option 1:
single output channel.
Advantage:
channels. Up to 100W (RMS) into 2Ω.
Side effect: The maximum output power is also
being reduced for all other channels.
Option 2: The 2Ω driver is being connected to a
paralleled output channel.
Conditions: Output CH1+2 or CH3+4 or CH5+6 or
CH7+8 need to be paralleled.
Advantage: Better damping factor for the
connected 2Ω load.
Side effect: The total number of output channels
will be reduced.
Note: Please do not to set more than 4 channels
in parallel mode to avoid any overheating. This
feature is intended for driving low impedance
woofers of factory systems.

portant: We highly recommend doing the
general settings in the Alpine Sound Lab for
PDP‑E802DSP before the first start up (see
“Amplifier Setting Tab” on page 23). An
incorrect setting may destroy your tweeters.
Make sure the source volume is set to 0 when
starting up the PDP‑E802DSP for the first time.

RCA Input Channels 1 - 6
4-9
6-channel input (low level), for connection to
signal sources with any output level. Please
configure high or low power using the jumpers
inside the amplifier. Default setting is low level.
Use the correct cable (RCA/cinch cable) to
connect these inputs to the pre‑amplifier / low
level outputs of your head unit. Each input can
be assigned to any output using the Alpine
Sound Lab for PDP‑E802DSP software. The
autosensing function has also to be
configured within this app.
0 Remote Input
The remote input line shall be used for
switching the amplifier on/off. It is not
recommended controlling the remote input via
the ignition switch as this may cause pop noise
during turn on/off.
The Auto‑Remote feature needs to be
configured in the Alpine Sound Lab for
PDP‑E802DSP software.
! Remote Output
The remote output line can be used
for switching on/off further amplifiers.
@Preset Toggle
When positive trigger is applied, PDP‑E802DSP
will switch to preset 6 (Trigger voltage =
2.5VDC or more).
# Pre-Out Jack
This is an ideal output for driving a separate
subwoofer amp. The 1‑channel RCA output is fully
processed and a straight “copy” of speaker output
channel 8. An optionally connected amplifier
should be able to handle input signals of up to 2V
RMS. We do recommend connecting high quality
amplifiers with differential RCA input/s (ground
isolated) in order to avoid unwanted noise.

$-u Output Channels 1 - 8
Amplifier outputs that are connected to the
speakers. The minimum impedance per
channel is 2Ohms. Please configure your
system impedance using the Alpine Sound Lab
for PDP‑E802DSP (See “2 Speaker Load
Setting” on page 23).
Never connect any of the speaker cables with
the chassis ground as this will damage your

Unused Channels:
• We recommend to use all available channels, i.e.
by using the parallel mode.
• When this is not possible, set the unused channel
to maximum attenuation (‑∞dB). This will help to
avoid wrong tripping of any protection mode.

1 Gain Settings (-6dB - +12dB)
For a perfect input sensitivity setting to your
audio source check the following steps.
1. Don’t connect any amplifiers or loudspeakers
to the outputs of the ALPINE PDP‑E802DSP
during this setup.
2. Make source input connections
3. Do the jumper settings (high or low power, AC/
DC Detection, input load)
4. Turn on the amplifier
5. Adjust the source volume to 90% of the max.
Volume and playback a 1 kHz test tone (0dB)
via CD drive.
6. If the PROT LED already lights up, decrease the
input sensivitiy within the app until the PROT
LED turns off.
With this setting you are matching your source
to the amplifier. Higher gain does not mean
higher output power.
Note: the gain setting adapts the source volume
to the input of the amplifier. It does not set the
amplification factor. Suggested gains listed in the
table on next page.
2 Extra Gain
When the digital source appears not as loud as
other sources, the gain can be raised by using this
setting. Depending on the mastering of the source
material, there is risk of clipping when the Extra
Gain was raised.
3Enable Inputs
With this menu you can enable/ disable the
inputs of your amplifier.
4 Analogue Routing
With this matrix you can setup which input
channel is routed to which output channel in
percent. Using this method, you can simply
create a virtual center channel by applying 50%
left signal and 50% right signal.
Every channel should have 100% signal in total
for a proper use.

The time correction allows individual adjustments
for each speaker output to align the different
distances of each speaker relative to the listener’s
position inside the cabin.
Adjustments can be done for level, delay and phase
(0°/180°)
1 Assistance for time delay adjustment
A very accurate automatic time delay calculator
is built directly into the app.
To begin this setup, you have to measure the
physical distance of each speaker in the system
that has been assigned to an output channel.
Verify that your measurement value is correct.
Assign each speaker location to an output
channel. Enter the measurement of each
speaker’s distance to the driver’s seat headrest.
When all values have been entered simply press
the “APPLY” button to store these measurements
into each output channel the PDP‑E802DSP.
The rotary knobs can still be used to make even
finer adjustments if required.
2 Delay Setting
Allows adjustment of each independent output
channel audio signals to compensate for the
differences of poor speaker placement, relative
to the driver’s seating position in vehicles.
For the selected channel volume, delay setting
and Phase inversion 180° can be adjusted.
The group selection allows you to
create up to 4 different delay
groups. Changes will affect all
channels allocated to the group.

1 Channel Status
The status of each channel is shown by the three
indicators below.
Red: Short circuit on an output line
Red: Clipping on speaker output
Battery status: Blue=OK; Red = Low
2 Speaker Load Setting
You need to select the speaker load being
connected to each output for power supply
matching.
Connecting lower impedance loads (ex. 2Ω) will
result in an appropriate internal voltage
adjustment. In case of mismatches, the
following protection mechanisms may
automatically apply:
1. The amplifier will reduce the output power.
2. The amp shuts down to safe mode. The amp will
only recover after reboot (off/on). Impedance
settings are to be carefully reviewed in such
case.
3 Parallel Mode
With this setting you can select the desired
channel pairs to enter parallel mode. This would
on the one hand reduce the number of
independently available output channels, but
on the other hand improve the output’s
damping behavior. It virtually shares the
connected load among the two paralleled
outputs (ex. a connected 2Ω load would appear
as 4Ω to each of the two paralleled outputs).
See page 10 for details.
4 System Monitor
This section allows to check the battery voltage
of the vehicle and the temperature of the
amplifier.
5 Speaker Test
In order to protect your equipment from wrong
connections, the PDP‑E802DSP checks the
impedance of all speakers. If you think there is
a mis‑detection, i.e. all wirings etc. are correct,
switch off the “Speaker Test” feature.
6 Live Monitor
This tool allows you to monitor the average
temperature and voltage over a period of 1, 3 or
5 minutes.

and 10s.
The Autoremote feature allows to
switch on the amplifier by detection
of an audio signal. This may help in
cars where no amplifier turn on
signal is available. Options: OFF
(default), AC, DC
Autoremote OFF:
The PDP‑E802DSP will be switched on by
the remote wire.
Time ON:
Here you set the duration of the input signal to
be continuously detected above the threshold
limit prior to turning ON.
Threshold ON:
Here you set detection signal level for turning ON.
Time OFF:
Here you set the duration of the input signal to
be continuously detected below the threshold
limit prior to turning OFF.
Autoremote AC detection:
In this mode, the PDP‑E802DSP will detect an
audio signal from a source that is connected to
channels 5+6. Jumpers J2, J3, J5, J6, J38 must be
connected.
24-EN
Threshold OFF:
Here you can set detection signal level for turning
OFF.
Note:
The Threshold ON value should be always be
bigger than Threshold OFF.

Tech Tip
If the amp is connected by USB wire and turns off
during the autoremote settings the amp falls in
Update mode. To restart the amp you have to
disconnect the USB and start the amp by cycling
power OFF/ON.
If AC dectection needed don´t forget to do the
jumper settings on PCB.
Autoremote DC detection:
The amp is checking, if there is an at least 3V(DC)
bias voltage provided from the installed source
unit. If so, the amp turns on.
The DC voltage will only be detected on
channels 1+2.
:
Tech Tip
The wired remote line is also working in parallel
to the DC detection.
