General instructions

General installation instructions for MATCH components

To prevent damage to the unit and possible injury, read this manual carefully and follow all installation instructions. This product has been checked for proper function prior to shipping and is guaranteed against manufacturing defects.

Before starting your installation, disconnect the battery's negative terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and / or risk of injury. For a proper performance and to ensure full warranty coverage, we strongly recommend to get this product installed by an authorized MATCH dealer.

Install your UP 7DSP in a dry location with sufficient air circulation for proper cooling of the equipment.

For safety reasons, the UP 7DSP must be professionally installed. Therefore, use the two mounting plates which are included in delivery. These are attached to the bottom of the amplifier with two short screws which are included in delivery, too.

When screwing the amplifier to the vehicle chassis, carefully examine the area around and behind the proposed installation location to ensure that there are no electrical cables or components, hydraulic brake lines or any part of the fuel tank located behind the mounting surface. Failure to do so may result in unpredictable damage to these components and possible costly repairs to the vehicle.

General instruction for connecting the UP 7DSP amplifier

The UP 7DSP amplifier may only be installed in motor vehicles which have a 12 Volts negative terminal connected to the chassis ground. Any other system could cause damage to the amplifier and the electrical system of the vehicle.

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 total current draw of the car audio system.

Use only the included MATCH cable or the optional PP-ISO cable for connection of the UP 7DSP. The use of other cables can result in damage of the amplifier, the head unit / car radio or the connected loudspeakers! The fuses of the amplifier only be replaced by identically rated fuses (2 x 25 A) to avoid damage of the amplifier.

Prior to installation, plan the wire routing to avoid any possible damage to the wire harness. All cabling should be protected against possible crushing or pinching hazards. Also avoid routing cables close to potential noise sources such as electric motors, high power accessories and other vehicle harnesses.

The UP 7DSP will be turned on automatically if the highlevel inputs of the System Connector 1 are used or if a signal is applied to the remote input (REM) terminal.

The Auto Remote switch allows to activate / deactivate the automatic turn-on feature of the high-level inputs of the System Connector 1. The feature should be deactivated (Auto Remote = off) if there are e.g. disturbing noises while switching on / off the amplifier.

Note: The automatic turn-on feature is activated ex works (Auto Remote = on). If the automatic turn-on function is deactivated it is mandatory to use the remote input (REM) to power up the amplifier! The highlevel signal will be ignored in this case.

② System Connector 2

This connector is used for connecting loudspeakers and / or subwoofers. Solely use the connection cable with the 8-pole connector and flying leads which is included in delivery to connect the loudspeakers / subwoofers. The impedance per channel must not be lower than 2 Ohms.

Caution: The use of other harnesses than the one that is supplied with the amplifier may cause severe harm to the amplifier, your head unit / car radio and your loudspeakers. In any case the warranty will be void!

③ Clipping LED

This LED lights up red if one of the four highlevel inputs is overdriven. The LED has no function when an input signal is applied to the digital input (Optical Input) or to the MEC module.

④ System Connector 1

This connector is used as signal input from the OE radio and as signal output of the amplifier channels A to D for connecting the loudspeakers. The impedance per channel must not be lower than 4 Ohms. Solely use this terminal only in combination with the connection cable that is included in delivery of the amplifier or an appropriate cable harness from the MATCH accessories program.

Caution: The use of other harnesses may cause severe harm to the amplifier, your head unit / car radio and your loudspeakers. In any case the warranty will be void!

Initial start-up and functions

and held for one second. Switching is indicated by a single red flash of the Status LED. Pressing the button for five seconds completely erases the internal memory. This is indicated by a constant red flashing of the Status LED.

Attention: After erasing the setups from memory the MATCH UP 7DSP will not reproduce any audio output.

⑪ Status LED

The LED indicates the operating mode of the amplifier and which setup has been chosen.

Green: Setup 1 is loaded.

Orange: Setup 2 is loaded.

Red: Undervoltage protection circuit is active.

Red flashing: Internal setup storage is empty (A new setup has to be loaded via the DSP PC-Tool software).

12 Control Input

This multi-functional connector is designed for MATCH accessory products like a remote control which allows to adjust several features of the amplifier. Depending on the type of remote control, the functionality at first has to be defined in the “Device Configuration Menu” of the DSP PC-Tool software or on the remote control itself.

13 Optical Input

Optical input in SPDIF format for connecting signal sources with a digital audio output. The sampling rate of this input must be between 12 and 96 kHz. The input signal is automatically adapted to the internal sample rate. In order to activate and control the volume of this input, we recommend to use an optional remote control.

Note: This amplifier can only handle stereo input signals and no MP3- or Dolby-coded digital audio stream!

Note: It is possible to use the Optical Input and the highlevel inputs of the System Connector 1 at the same time.

14 Gain

This control allows to increase the input sensitivity of the highlevel inputs up to max. 6 dB. The function should only be used if the signal source has a low output volume. This is not a volume control, it's only

for adjusting the amplifiers gain. Adjustments with this control do not affect the optical input! The control range of the highlevel input goes from 11 Volts (max. CCW position) to 5 Volts (max. CW position).

Please note: The input sensitivity ex works is set to 11 Volts (may. CCW position). This is definitely the best setting for most applications.

15 Remote Out

We strongly recommend to use this output for turning on / off additional amplifiers that are connected to the Line Out of the MATCH UP 7DSP. This is essential to avoid any interfering signals. This output is activated automatically as soon as the boot process of the DSP is completed. Additionally this output will be turned off during the “Power Save Mode” or a software update process.

16 Line Out

The Line Out is a mono floating-ground low level output (max. 3 Vrms) for connecting additional power amplifiers. A specially designed “Balanced Audio Transformer” avoids any ground-loops that may cause undesired alternator noise. Please make sure that you always turn on / off external amplifiers using the remote output (Remote Out) of the UP 7DSP. Additionally this output will be turned off when the “Power Save Mode” of the amplifier is active as well as during software updates.

The output can be configured independently of the other amplifier channels with the DSP PC-Tool software.

Class HD technology

The UP 7DSP combines the advantages of a Class H technology with the principle of a class D amplifier. The result is an unsurpassed efficiency which easily outperforms any conventional Class D amplifier.

By varying the internal supply voltage depending on the amplifier's amplitude of the input signals, idle losses are significantly reduced and overall efficiency is close to maximum at any time.

Smart highlevel input ADEP.3

Modern, factory-installed car radios incorporate sophisticated possibilities of diagnosing the connected speakers. In particular the latest generation of car radios are equipped with additional monitoring functions so that failure messages and loss of specific features (e.g. fader function) quite often appear if a common amplifier will be hooked up - but not with the UP 7DSP.

The new ADEP.3 circuit (Advanced Diagnostics Error Protection, 3rd Generation) 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 UP 7DSP assures a constant internal supply voltage even if the battery's voltage drops to 6 Volts during engine crank. If the supply voltage drops below 10.5 Volts for more than five seconds the amplifier goes to "Protect mode" (Status LED lights up 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 basic setup. It allows to significantly reduce the power consumption of the UP 7DSP and potentially connected amplifiers once there's no input signal 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 therefore the connected amplifiers will be turned off. The MATCH UP 7DSP 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.

The MATCH UP 7DSP must be installed and connected as follows:

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 17).

1. Connecting the System Connector 1

1. Connecting the highlevel speaker inputs:

The highlevel loudspeaker inputs (see fig. 1, page 22; no. 1 - 4 and 11 - 14) can be connected directly to the loudspeaker outputs of an OEM or aftermarket radio by using the enclosed MATCH connection cable. It is not mandatory to use all highlevel speaker inputs. It is sufficient if two of four highlevel loudspeaker inputs are connected. With the DSP PC-Tool software it is possible to route the input signals to the eight output channels individually.

Make sure that the polarity is correct. If one or more connections have reversed polarity it may affect the performance of the amplifier. If this input is used the remote input (REM) does not need to be connected as the amplifier will automatically turn on once a loudspeaker signal is received.

1. Connecting the loudspeaker outputs: The loudspeaker outputs (see fig. 1, page 22; no. 5 - 8 and 15 - 18) can be connected directly to the wires of the loudspeakers by using the enclosed MATCH connection cable. Never connect any of the loudspeaker cables to the chassis ground as this will damage your amplifier and your speakers. Ensure that the loudspeakers are correctly connected (phase), i.e. plus to plus and minus to minus. Exchanging plus and minus causes a total loss of bass reproduction. The plus pole is indicated on most speakers. The impedance per channel must not be lower than 4 Ohms, otherwise the amplifier protection will be activated.

2. Connecting the System Connector 2

Two subwoofers and a center speaker can be connected to System Connector 2 by using the enclosed MATCH connection cable (see fig. 1, page 22; no. 22 - 28). Never connect any of the loudspeaker cables to the chassis ground as this will damage your amplifier and your speakers. Ensure that the loudspeakers are correctly connected (phase), i.e. plus to plus and minus to minus. Exchanging plus and minus causes a total loss of bass reproduction. The plus pole is indicated on most speakers. The impedance of each channel must not be less than 2 Ohms, otherwise the amplifier protection will be activated.

Attention: Solely use the connection cable with the 8-pole connector and flying leads which is included in delivery!

3. Adjustment of the input sensitivity

The Gain control (page 20, item 14) is 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 optical input! This is not a volume control, it's only for adjusting the amplifiers gain. The ex works setting of the highlevel input sensitiv ty of the UP 7DSP is the maximum coun ter-clockwise position. This is definitely the best setting for most applications. Only if the car radio doesn't deliver enough output level, the input sensitivity should be increased by turning the Gain control carefully clockwise (max. 6 dB).

4. Connecting a digital signal source

If you have a signal source with an optical digital output you can connect it to the amplifier using the appropriate input. In standard configuration the MATCH UP 7DSP 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 in-

puts 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 UP 7DSP. 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 UP 7DSP can only handle uncompressed digital stereo signals in PCM format with a sample rate between 12 kHz and 96 kHz and no MP3- or Dolby-coded digital audio stream!

5. Connection to power supply

Make sure to disconnect the battery before installing the MATCH UP 7DSP!

Connect the +12 V power cable to the positive terminal of the battery. The positive wire from the battery to the amplifier power terminals 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 / 40") then a wire gauge of 6 mm² / AWG 10 will be sufficient. In all other cases we strongly recommend gauges of 10 - 16 mm² / AWG 8 – 6! The ground cable (same gauge as the +12 V wire) should be connected to a common ground reference point (this is located where the negative terminal of the battery is grounded to the metal body of the vehicle) or to a prepared metal location on the vehicle chassis, i.e. an area which has been cleaned of all paint residues.

6. Connecting the remote input

The remote input has to be connected to the radio remote output if the amplifiers Optical Input is solely used as signal input. We do not recommend controlling the remote input via the ignition switch to avoid pop noise during turn on / off.

If the highlevel inputs of the System Connector 1 are used this input does not need to be connected as long as the car radio has BTL output stages.

7. Configuration of the remote input

The UP 7DSP will be turned on automatically if the highlevel inputs of the System Connector 1 are used or if a remote signal is applied to the remote input (REM) terminal. The Auto Remote switch (page 19, item 1) allows to deactivate the automatic turn-on feature of the highlevel inputs of the System Connector 1. The feature should be deactivated if there are e.g. disturbing noises while switching on / off the amplifier.

Note: If the automatic turn-on function is deactivated it is mandatory to use the remote input terminal to power up the amplifier! The highlevel signal of the System Connector 1 will be ignored in this case.

To deactivate the automatic turn-on feature you have to change the position of the Auto Remote switch to "Off".

8. Configuration of the internal DSP

The general amplifier settings should be conducted with the DSP PC-Tool software before using the amplifier for the first time.

Ignoring this advice may result in damaging the connected speakers / amplifiers. Especially if the UP 7DSP will be used to drive fully active speaker systems, a wrong setup can destroy your tweeters right away.

Information on connecting the UP 7DSP to a computer can be found on page 27.

9. Connecting the remote output

This output (Remote Out) is used to supply remote signals to additional amplifiers that are connected to the Line Out of the UP 7DSP. Always use this remote output signal to turn on the amplifiers in order to avoid on / off switching noises.

To simplify installation to an OEM or aftermarket radio the UP 7DSP can also be connected using the optional PP-ISO cable (2.2 m version, art. no. H424922). This cable allows to feed the amplifier with the highlevel signals from the radio and return the amplified output signals back to the loudspeakers. No factory wires or plugs need to be cut by using this connection method.

ATTENTION: Never use the PP-ISO cable for the power supply of the UP 7DSP!

You may risk a severe damage of other electronic components inside your car or even a cable fire!

Read in the following the steps how to connect the amplifier to the head unit / car radio via PP-ISO cable:

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 PP-ISO cable, fig. 3 ①. Depending on your car an additional car-specific adaptor may be required, fig. 3 ④. A list of all cars and the respective adaptors can be found on www.audiotec-fischer.com.
2. Connect the male connector of the PP-ISO cable harness or the car-specific adaptor to the head unit / car radio, fig. 3 ②.
3. Subsequently connect the 20-pole connector of the PP-ISO cable to the amplifier, fig. 3③.
4. Important: Separate the cable joints of the power supply lines of the PP-ISO cable harness (yellow and black), fig. 3⑤. After separating the cable joints the open wire ends have to be properly insulated.
5. Connect the UP 7DSP amplifier to the power supply of the vehicle as described in item 5 on page 24.
   Make sure to disconnect the battery before installing the MATCH UP 7DSP!

Note - Cars equipped with MOST bus

In cars equipped with MOST bus structure it is mandatory to unplug the fiber-optic cable from the original car radio connector and insert it into the car radio connector of the PP-ISO cable which has a dedicated recess for this.

Important: Never use the PP-ISO cable for the power supply of the UP 7DSP!

Connection to a PC

The DSP PC-Tool software enables a free configuration of the UP 7DSP amplifier.

The user interface is designed for easy handling of all functions and allows an individual adjustment of each of the eight DSP channels.

Prior to connecting the amplifier to your PC visit our website and download the latest version of the DSP PC-Tool software. Check from time to time for software updates. You will find the software and the respective user manual on www.audiotec-fischer.com. We strongly recommend to carefully read the user manual (Sound Tuning Magazine) before using the software for the first time in order to avoid any complications and failures.

Important: Make sure that the amplifier is not connected to your computer before the software and USB driver are installed!

In the following the most important steps how to connect and the first start-up are described:

1. Download the latest version of the DSP PC-Tool software (available on our website www.audiotec-fischer.com) and install it on your computer.

2. Connect the amplifier to your computer using the USB cable that is included in delivery. If you have to bridge longer distances please use an active USB extension cable with integrated repeater and no passive extension.

3. Turn on the amplifier and start the software after the Status LED lights up green. The operating software will be updated automatically to the latest version if it is not up-to-date.
4. Now you are able to configure your MATCH UP 7DSP with our intuitive DSP PC-Tool software. Nevertheless, interesting and useful hints can be found e.g. in our "Sound Tuning Magazine", which can be downloaded for free from our website.

Caution: We highly recommend to set the volume of your head unit / car radio to minimum position during first start-up. Additionally no devices should be connected to the Line Out until general settings in the DSP PC-Tool software have been made. Especially if the UP 7DSP will be used in fully active applications, a wrong setup can destroy your speakers right away.

Configuration notes for the DSP sound effects

The MATCH UP 7DSP offers unique DSP sound effects like "Augmented Bass Processing", "StageXpander", "RealCenter" and many more. In order to enjoy all DSP sound effects, specific settings have to be made in the hardware and software configuration.

Notes for Center Processing with its functions RealCenter and ClarityXpander

If you want to use the RealCenter and ClarityXpander "Link to C+D" function. function for a center speaker follow the subsequent steps:

1. You need at least one left and one right analog or digital input signal.
2. Open the IO menu of the DSP PC-Tool. Route the left and the right analog or digital input signal (no sum signal) to the output channels A and B (see example in the following image). It does not matter, if the output channels are defined as front, rear or center channel.

Event 1: Full 100.0 % Event 2: Full 100.0 % Event 3: Full 100.0 %

Note: You will achieve the best performance if the input signal is a fullrange signal.

1. Generate a summation signal from the same two input signals and route this to the output channel G. This channel should be defined as "Center Full".

1. Repeat steps two and three for all routing matrices that are used.
2. Now switch to the FX menu and activate the desired sound effect by placing a tick.
