The positive cable from the battery for the entire
sound system should be provided with a main fuse
at a distance of max. 30 cm from the battery. The
value of the fuse is calculated from the maximum

Unique Features of the PP 86DSP
Class HD technology
The PP 86DSP combines the advantages of a
Class H technology with the principle of a class D
which easily outperforms any conventional Class D
By varying the internal supply voltage depending on
cy is close to maximum at any time.
Smart highlevel input
The latest generation of OE car radios incorporates sophisticated possibilities of diagnosing the
features (e.g. fader function) are often the result but not with the PP 86DSP.
The new ADEP circuit (Advanced Diagnostics Error
Protection) avoids all these problems without loading the speaker outputs of the OE radio during high
volumes unnecessarily.
Start-Stop capability
The switched power supply of the MATCH
PP 86DSP assures a constant internal supply voltage even if the battery’s voltage drops to 6 Volts
during engine crank. If the supply voltage drops be-

red) in order to avoid any further discharge of the
car’s battery.
Automatic Digital Signal Detection
Switching from analog input to the digital input is
done automatically as soon as a signal is detected on the Optical Input. This feature can be deactivated in the DSP PC-Tool software. Alternatively
you can use an optional remote control for manual
switching between analog and digital inputs.
Power Save Mode
The Power Save Mode is incorporated in the ba-
er consumption of the PP 86DSP and potentially
present for more than 60 seconds. Please note that
in many up-to-date cars with “CAN” or any other internal bus structures it may happen that the radio
remains “invisibly” turned on for up to 45 min. even
after locking and leaving the car! Once the “Power
Save Mode“ is active the remote output and there-
MATCH PP 86DSP will reactivate the remote output
within a second if a music signal is applied. It is possible to either modify the turn-off time of 60 sec. or
completely deactivate the “Power Save Mode” via
the DSP PC-Tool software.

Caution: Carrying out the following steps will require special tools and technical knowledge. In order to avoid connection mistakes and/or damage,
ask your dealer for assistance if you have any questions and follow all instructions in this manual (see
page 15).
1. Connecting the Plug & Play cable harness
1. After removing the head unit / car radio
from the dash using appropriate tools,
disconnect the vehicle harness from the
car radio. Next, connect the vehicle harness to the female connector of the
MATCH cable harness,

used to adapt the input sensitivity to the output
voltage of the connected head unit / car radio.
Adjustments with this control do not affect the

and is only for adapting the input sensitivity. The
ex works setting of the highlevel input sensitivity of the PP 86DSP is the maximum coun terclockwise position.

an input sensitivity of roughly 9 Volts. For this

The highlevel loudspeaker inputs E and F can
be connected directly to the loudspeaker outputs of an OEM or aftermarket radio using
appropriate cables (loudspeaker cables with

more connections have reversed polarity it may

If you have a signal source with an optical digital
the MATCH PP 86DSP automatically activates
the used digital input if a digital audio signal is
detected. This function can be deactivated via
the DSP PC-Tool software. Alternatively you
can manually activate the digital input if you are
using the optional remote control.
The automatic turn-on circuit does not work
when the digital input is used. Therefore it is
mandatory to connect the remote input (REM).
Please note that it is possible to connect a
source to the digital input and the highlevel inputs at the same time.
Important: The signal of a digital audio source
normally does not contain any information about
the volume level. Keep in mind that this will
lead to full level on the outputs of the MATCH
-
PP 86DSP. This may cause severe damage to
your speakers. We strongly recommend to use
an optional remote control for adjusting the volume level of the digital signal input!
Information: The PP 86DSP can only handle
uncompressed digital stereo signals in PCM

format with a sample rate between 12 kHz and
96 kHz and no Dolby-coded signals.
5. Connection to power supply
Make sure to disconnect the battery before
installing the MATCH PP 86DSP!
The power supply of the PP 86DSP never ever
occurs via the MATCH cable harness. Always
directly connect the massive screw terminals of
the power leads of the car radio itself! Though
the PP 86DSP only has a limited average power consumption, it may draw very high currents
(up to 50 A) for the fraction of a second due to
its dynamically controlled internal power supply.
Important: You may risk a severe damage of
ic components inside your vehicle or even a
The PP 86DSP will be turned on automatically
if the highlevel inputs of the System Connector
or the Highlevel Input E + F are used or if a signal is applied to the remote input terminal. The
Auto Remote switch (page 18, item 12) allows
to deactivate the automatic turn-on feature. The
feature should be deactivated if there are e.g.

Connect the +12 V power cable to the positive
terminal of the battery. The positive wire from
needs to have an inline fuse (50 A) at a distance
of less than 12 inches (30 cm) from the battery.
If your power wires are short (less than 1 m /

The ground cable (same gauge as the +12 V
wire) should be connected to a common ground

which has been cleaned of all paint residues.

9. Connecting the loudspeaker outputs E - H
The loudspeaker outputs allow to connect a
passive Plug & Play subwoofer like the MATCH
PP 10E-D or further loudspeakers (e.g. center speaker etc.). For the connection of a
Plug & Play subwoofer you have to connect the
8-pole Molex connector of the connection cable which is delivered with the subwoofer to the
Speaker Output E - H.
Afterwards the appropriate subwoofer has to be
activated in the DCM menu of the DSP PC-Tool
software.
Note:nels for driving the subwoofer.
Alternatively the loudspeaker outputs can be
connected directly to the wires of further loudspeakers by using the 8-pole connection cable
which is included in delivery. Never connect
any of the loudspeaker cables with the chassis
