4. CONNECTION PANELS - DESCRIPTION
POWER.
+ Power (11-15 VDC): connection terminal for AP8.9 bit power supply positive pole. The jack accepts a stripped cable up to 15mm/0.6" with maximum section of 8 AWG (∅ 3,2mm / 0.12”). For better power transfer we recommend using cables with the largest possible cross-section and with the same cross-section as the cable connected to the negative pole.
- Power (Ground): connection terminal for the negative power supply pole of the amplifier. Connect here the negative battery cable or a cable connected to the vehicle chassis. The opening will take a stripped cable up to 15mm/0.6" with a maximum section of 8 AWG (∅ 3,2mm / 0.12”). For better power transfer, we recommend using cables with the largest possible section and with the same section as the cable connected to the positive pole. In order to correctly connect the ground (-), use a screw that is already present on the metal part of the vehicle; If necessary, remove any paint residue or grease, using a tester to make sure there is continuity between the negative terminal (-) on the battery and the mounting point. If possible, connect all of the grounds on the audio components to the same grounding point. This helps reduce most of the interference than can occur in audio reproduction.
WARNING: Make sure the connection polarity is as indicated on the terminals. A misconnection may result in damage to the
AP8.9 bit. After applying power, wait at least 10 seconds before turning the AP8.9 bit on.

USER’S MANUAL
INPUTS / REM IN-OUT.
AP8.9 bit comes with a 16 pole multipolar connector to manage the input signals, REM IN/REM OUT connections and the control functions for the auxiliary inputs.
1. INPUTS FL FR RL RR: MASTER inputs connect here the amplified signal wires coming from the main analog source. Input sensitivity automatically adjustable from 2 to 15 V RMS
(see sec. 7.2.5).
Channels FL FR RL RR feature the AUTO TURN ON (ART) function through connection with the outputs on the source speakers. This function can be excluded using the PC Software.
Remark: The ACP6 / ACP2 accessory can also be used to interface head units equipped with PRE OUT output (min. 2V) to the AP8.9 bit inputs.
(see sec. 10.2 - 10.3)
2. INPUTS IN1 IN2: Auxiliary signal inputs that can be used when configuring the unit to reconstruct a multi-amplified signal (Front Tweeter, Front Mid Hi, Center, Sub) or specialized like AUX inputs
(see sec. 7.2.5).
3. REMOTE:
- REM IN. Input to turn on AP8.9 bit remotely through the audio signal source Remote Out. REM IN can be connected
to the ignition switch terminal (ACC). The voltage must be between 7 and 14.5 VDC. If using a source with a amplified outputs, AP8.9 bit can be automatically turned on
(see sec. 7.3.4.7), so it will not be necessary to connect the REM IN
terminal.
- REM OUT. Output to turn on other devices/amplifiers connected after AP8.9 bit. From the time it is turned on, it takes 1 second to supply the signal to the REM OUT output, but it will be possible to set this delay via software
(see sec. 7.3.4.7).
The 200 mA output current capability can also drive an automotive relay.
4. SWITCH INPUTS:
- OPTICAL SELECT: It allows the input selection OPTICAL IN / AUX IN. This control is active bringing the terminal to +12V and the input choice to be activated can be programmed using the PC software
(see sec. 7.3.4.7), the
unit can also be turned on using this terminal.
- MASTER ENABLE: It enables the MASTER input selection. This control is active bringing the terminal to +12V.

USER’S MANUAL
PRESET.
AP8.9 bit has 8 setups preloaded in its memory, one being editable. They allow the product to be
used without the need to connect it to a PC.
(see sec. 5.4.1; 5.4.8)
The preset choice is based on the factory system in the car or the type of system you wish to create.
FUSE.
30 A blade protection fuse needs to be replaced, use same type and value as the original.
LOGO STATUS.
AP8.9 bit has an built-in control that manages its status and protects the circuits and connections to the
speakers. The logo on the AP8.9 bit top cover will change its status in case of any possible product malfunctions.
A BLUE logo means: AP8.9 bit is on.
A flashing RED/BLUE logo means: The “UPGRADE MODE” switch on the product is set to “ON” position, or the product Firmware is being updated.
A flashing BLUE logo means:
The unit is in stand-by (energy saver) because there is no audio signal. This function (AST) can be activated using the PC software.
(see sec. 7.3.4.7) and the stand-by time ranges from a minimum of 5 mins. to a maximum of 20 mins.
The unit will automatically turn off after 30 mins. when there is no signal.
A RED logo flashing one single time every 2 seconds means:
- AP8.9 bit temperature reached 75° C and the thermal protection was triggered. It will start operating again at around 70° C.
A RED logo flashing twice every second means:
-Outputoverload.TheredLEDflasheswhentheoutputloadgoesbelowtheminimumallowedcapacityofabout2Ω impedance. The LED comes on without flashing, activating the protection. When listening to music, if the acoustic reproduction stops for a few seconds, check if the red amplifier LED is flashing. This means there was an overload. Turn the amplifier off and check the speakers and wirings.
- Speaker wiring anomaly. The red LED flashes when a terminal on the speaker goes in short-circuit with the vehicle chassis. When listening to music, if the acoustic reproduction stops for a few seconds, check to see if the red amplifier LED is flashing; this means there was a short circuit between a terminal on a speaker and the vehicle chassis. Turn off the amplifier and check the speakers and wiring.
A RED logo flashing four times every second means:
- The “OVER VOLTAGE” protection activation, due to the fact that the battery voltage is higher than 16V. The product will turn off after 3 minutes.
WARNING: Check the state of charge of the car alternator.
A RED logo means:
- Product internal fault. You have to go to an authorized service centre. The product will turn off after 3 minutes.

1. Using the DRC, selecting the OPTICAL input.
2. Using the appropriately set OPTICAL IN terminal
(see sec. 7.3.4.7).
This command is active connecting the terminal to + 12V.
How to select OPTICAL input:
5.3 DIGITAL OPTICAL IN INPUT SIGNALS
WARNING: The digital inputs accepts up to 96 kHz / 24 bit stereo PCM signals. So DOLBY DIGITAL (AC3) multi-channel signals
coming from audio/video sources (such as the audio of a film in DVD) or DTS can not be reproduced. The output of these devices will therefore have to be set in STEREO mode for the signal to be reproduced. If digital signals at frequency higher than 96kHz (Ex. 192 kHz) are supplied, the AP8.9 bit will not be able to reproduce them.

1. AP8.9 bit provides 8 amplified outputs. Through the PC Software, each output channel has the following available
(ee sec. 7.2):
- a 10 pole graphic equalizer;
- a 68-frequency electronic crossover and Butterworth or Linkwitz-Riley type filters with 6-24 dB slopes
(see sec. 7.3.10);
- a digital time delay line
(see sec. 7.3.11);
- Phase inversion activation
(see sec. 7.3.10.2);
- Adjustment of the output level to better align the total system response
(see sec. 7.3.13);
2. AP8.9 bit features one a preamplified output (4 V Rms max.) SUB OUT that exclusively controls a mono amplifier for subwoofer, or one active subwoofer to amplify the sound system. This output can be activated during I/O Wizard Configuration (see sec. 7.2.9).
