USER’S MANUAL

bit One / 1/2

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

bit One is a signal digital processor essential to maximize the acoustic performance of your Car Audio system. It consists of a 32 bit DSP processor and 24 bit AD and DA converters.

It can be interfaced with any factory system, even in vehicles featuring an integrated audio processor, since, thanks to the de-equalization function, the bit One will send back a linearized signal.

The bit One features 21 signal inputs; 8 Hi-Level, 1 Phone, 6 Low-Level, 4 Aux, 1 Optical Digital, 1 Coax Digital. It provides 8 PRE OUT analog or digital outputs.

Each output channel has a 32 band equalizer available. It also features a 66 frequency steps electronic crossover as well as BUTTERWORTH or LINKWITZ filters with 6-48 dB slopes; a digital time delay line along with an equalizer on each auxiliary input are also available. The user can select adjustments that will allow him to interract with the bit One trough the remote controll device called DRC.

1.REMOTE IN-OUT (see section 5.1)

IN: for the processor remote turn-on through one or multiple signal sources, featuring Rem Out control.

OUT: output for the remote turn-on of the other devices/amplifiers connected to the processor.

The REMOTE OUT output current capability is 20 mA. From the REMOTE-IN signal, the processor only takes 7 seconds to supply the signal to the REMOTE OUT output.

IMPORTANT REMARK: current capability of the bit One.1 version (check the label on the bottom of your bit One to know its version) is 130 mA; it can also drive an automotive relay (make sure its absorption is not higher than 130 mA).

WARNING: the bit One must be switched on before the amplifiers connected edit are turned on. It’s necessary to connect the sources Remote Out to the bit One Remote In and then the bit One Remote Out to the Remote In of the other devices/amplifiers connected to the bit One (section 5.1).

2.KEY SWITCH ignition key connection (see section 5.2.3-4)

MEM: it stores the processor status when it is turned off.

ON - OFF: it turns the processor on and off when the vehicle turn on/off ignition key is turned.

3.POWER power supply connection (section 5.1)

- 12V + : Positive and negative connection terminal for car 12 V power supply.

WARNING: make sure the connection polarity is as indicated on the terminals. A mis-connection may result in damage to the bit One. After applying a 12V power, wait at least 20 seconds before turning the bit One on.

4. USB (section 5.3)

USB (B) connection plug, to connect the processor to a PC and manage its functions through the bit One software. The connection standard is USB 1.1/2.0 compatible.

5.2 HOW TO TURN ON/OFF THE BIT ONE

1

(section 5.2)

The bit One is on when the Audison logo lights up in blue. After receiving the turn-on input the bit One takes 9 seconds to become operative. It can be turned on / off in the following ways:

1.Push the DRC main control switch (to turn on). Keep the DRC main control knob pressed (to shut down). In this case no other connections Remote In / KEY SWITCH are required, but they can coexist (see section 12).

2.Connecting one of the Remote In plugs using a Remote signal coming from one source, the KEY SWITCH connection is not required, but it can coexist.

3.Through the KEY SWITCH ON OFF. Every time you turn on / off the car ignition key, the bit One will turn on / off. If this control is used, KEY SWITCH MEM can not be used.

4.Through the KEY SWITCH MEM. If the bit One was turned off through the KEY SWITCH MEM connection, it will automatically turn on again by turning the KEY SWITCH MEM itself. If it was turned off through a different method (ex. through the Remote or the DRC) while the KEY SWITCH MEM was still active, the bit One will not turn on again through the KEY SWITCH MEM; you will have to turn it on through either the DRC or the Remote. If you use the KEY SWITCH MEM, the KEY SWITCH ON OFF can not be used.

5.Through the SPEAKER IN CH1. The AUTO TURN ON (ART) activates by connecting the amplified head unit output to the SPEAKER IN CH1 input channel, the ART can be disabled on the bit One.1 (check the label on the bottom of your bit One to know its version) by opening the product and removing the jumper as shown in the picture (see section 5.5.1).

6.Automatically through the hands-free phone kit (see section 5.5.3), with the bit One “mute” control turned off.

DIGITAL IN - WARNING: the digital inputs accepts up to 48 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 be set in STEREO mode for the signal to be reproduced. If digital signals at frequency higher than 48 kHz (96 - 192 kHz) are supplied, the bit One locks up. In that case, turn the bit One off, supply the adequate signal and turn it on again.
