How many channels does the AP F8.9 bit have?
It has 9 channels total: 8 amplified channels (each delivering 85W RMS @ 4Ω or 130W RMS @ 2Ω) and 1 pre-amplified Sub Out (4V RMS). Channels can be bridged in pairs to deliver 260W RMS @ 4Ω.
What input options are available?
The amplifier accepts 6 Hi-Level (Speaker IN) inputs (2.2-22V RMS), 6 Pre-In (RCA) inputs (0.6-6V RMS), and 1 Optical S/PDIF input (up to 192 kHz / 24 bit PCM). This allows connection to factory systems or aftermarket sources.
How can I configure the DSP using a PC?
Connect the amplifier to a PC via the USB micro-B port and install the provided AP F8.9 bit Software (Windows Vista/7/8/10). The software allows full control over crossover, equalization, time alignment, and presets. Use the Configuration Wizard for guided setup.
Can the AP F8.9 bit be used with factory OEM systems?
Yes, it is designed for OEM integration. Use the Hi-Level inputs to connect to factory speaker outputs. The built-in De-Equalization (De-Eq) function analyzes and linearizes the equalized signal from the factory head unit for optimal sound quality.
What is the De-equalization function?
De-equalization (De-Eq) is a process that measures the frequency response of the OEM source and applies an inverse curve to obtain a linear signal. It is activated during the PC configuration wizard and can be enabled/disabled in the software.
How do I set up the remote control (DRC)?
The optional DRC MP or DRC AB connects to the DRC port on the amplifier. It allows selection of Master or Optical input, control of volume, balance, fader, subwoofer volume, and switching between two memory presets. The DRC MP also has a light sensor for auto-dimming.
What preset configurations are available?
The amplifier has 8 presets stored in memory: Preset 0 to 7. These include configurations for 2-way active front, 3-way active front, rear fill, subwoofer, and center channel setups. Preset 0 is the default; others can be selected via the PRESET switch on the device.
How do I update the firmware?
To update, set the UPGRADE switch to ON, connect the amplifier to a PC via USB, start the software, and select Update Firmware from the Device menu. Download the latest firmware from www.audisonbitdrive.eu. During update, do not disconnect power or USB.

1 POWER.

+Power (11-15 VDC): connection terminal for AP F8.9 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 soket 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 AP F8.9 bit. After applying power, wait at least 10 seconds before turning the AP F8.9 bit on.

13 LOGO STATUS.

AP F8.9 bit is provided with a built-in control that manages its status and protects the circuits and connections to the speakers. The logo on the AP F8.9 bit top cover will change its status in case of any possible product malfunctions.

A BLUE logo means:

AP F8.9 bit is on.

Flashing RED/BLUE logo means:

The "UPGRADE MODE" switch on the product is set to "ON" position, or the product Firmware is being updated.

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.

Flashing RED logo means:

- AP F8.9 bit temperature reached 75^ C and the thermal protection was triggered. It will start operating again at around 70^ C.

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. This protection is self-restoring. - 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. This protection is self-restoring.

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.

AUDISON Prima AP F8.9 bit - LOGO STATUS. - 1

  1. AP F8.9 bit provides 8 amplified outputs. Through the PC Software, each output channel is provided with the

following (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);

7. HOW TO SET UP AP F8.9 BIT WITH A PC

7.1 OFFLINE MODE

OFFLINE mode can be used to analyze the software without connecting AP F8.9 bit to the PC to become familiar with the numerous functions of the processor. (For specific functions, see TARGET mode section 7.2). To activate the OFFLINE mode, the device must be disconnected from the PC. The software is preset to start with a 3 way active FRONT + REAR full multi-amplified system. To set a new "virtual" system and thus change the inputs and select the outputs, select the function Configuration Wizard in the SETTINGS window of the software main menu.

7.2 TARGET MODE

In order to configure the inputs, amplified and pre-amplified power outputs, EQ and time delays for AP F8.9 bit, it must be interfaced with the PC. When you get to this point you must already be aware of what type of system you intend to set up. In order to change these choices at a later date, you will need to perform the guided procedure again.

The guided procedure will request:

  • The type of specialization for the main input channels used. The guided procedure changes according to your choice.
  • The type of signals that will be assigned to the main inputs (e.g.: Front Left or Center or Subwoofer, etc.).

- The speakers in the system (e.g.: 3 way Front or Sub Stereo or 2 way Rear, etc.).

- If there are passive crossovers that manage groups of speakers (e.g.: 3 way systems with active midrange).

- If you intend to use an external monophonic amplifier to drive a Subwoofer or an external amplified subwoofer.

- If you intend to use the amplified outputs on AP F8.9 bit in BRIDGE configuration, thus increasing the power on the output.

WARNING: during this operation, we recommend disconnecting the power connector from AP F8.9 bit to

AUDISON Prima AP F8.9 bit - TARGET MODE - 1

  1. Connect the speaker outputs or the Pre Out outputs from the INPUTS on AP F8.9 bit (see sec. 4.2). Before turning on the system, make sure the power outputs are disconnected from AP F8.9 bit to avoid damaging the speakers during calibration.
    The input calibration operation must be performed with the vehicle engine running. In this case, the voltage is about 14.0 V. The source will provide an undistorted output signal at higher volume.

  2. Turn on AP F8.9 bit and connect the USB cable to the PC. Start AP F8.9 bit software by clicking on the icon on the PC Desktop that was created upon installation.

6. Input Level Setup.

- Play track 1 from the CD provided with AP F8.9 bit.

Remark: if the head unit used is not equipped with a CD player, and only features a USB input, follow the instructions below.

1) Copy the tracks in Wave format from the CD to the USB storage device.

2) Copy the tracks in mp3 format from the folder in the setup CD to the USB storage device, in case the first player is not suitable to reproduce Wav formats.

  • Set all tone controls to zero (flat).
  • Set balance and fader to center.
  • Adjust the head unit volume to the maximum undistorted output level.
  • If the head unit provides an adjustable equalizer, make sure that the controls are set to zero (flat).

Select:

  • 0dB Reference: setup related to the use of music tracks recorded at 0dB.
  • Musical setup: for the use of music tracks recorded at a level lower than 0dB (-3dB ÷ -6dB).

Press BACK to return to the previous step.

Press GO to continue with the configuration.

Press CANCEL to exit the procedure.

Press SKIP to skip the level calibration procedure

The input level calibration procedure is a delicate operation and must be performed very carefully. If not performed correctly, it can nullify the final sound results.

WARNING: the head unit level must be adjusted to the maximum undistorted level. If the initial head unit distortion level can not be determined, adjust the volume to approximately 80% of its maximum. If the head unit output level is set too low, the device may produce ground noise (hissing sound) when playing music tracks.

This is due to the low signal / noise ratio provided by the head unit to the AP F8.9 bit input. If you experience this problem, after calibrating the amplifiers sensitivity levels, increase the head unit volume and repeat the AP F8.9 bit calibration procedure as detailed in point 9 of this paragraph.

Head units output level instrument check

7. De-equalization.

De-equalization of the OEM source, operation not required and not necessary if using low level inputs (Pre out). During the high level input configuration procedure, this function can be used to maximize use of the OEM head units, even if they were equalized to adapt best to the acoustics of the car they are installed in. The de-equalization procedure performs an analysis of the electrical frequency response coming from the various channels on the OEM head unit and automatically applies an equalization opposite to the original one, generating a linear signal that is much more suitable to driving high quality audio systems. Regardless of the input channels used, the de-equalization will be performed by functional groups.

The expression 40.0 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6

E.g.: Even if using Front Left Full and Front Right Full as inputs, the software will also perform the de-equalization on the Rear, Center and Subwoofer since the processor must use the signals identified as Front to also control any possible Rear, Center and Subwoofer outputs.

If you decide to perform this procedure, follow the instructions below:

  • Insert the supplied Setup CD if the source used is an audio CD player;
  • Play track 2 (press Play);
  • Set all of the tone controls to zero (0).
  • Set the balance and fader to the center (0).
  • Don't change the adjusted volume previously set through the automatic input level calibration;

Press BACK to return to the previous step. Press GO to continue with the configuration. Press SKIP to abandon the procedure. Press CANCEL to exit the program.

10. Output Configurations.

AP F8.9 bit features 9 output channels. In this specific step of the procedure you can assign any signal to one of the output channels.

E.g.: The 3 way front can be controlled as:

  • multi amplified (6 output channels are needed);
  • passive midrange + woofer amplified separately (4 output channels are needed);
  • 3 way passive (2 output channels are needed).

During the selection, the software will automatically notify that the 9 output channel limit has been respected, the warning message will disappear and the NEXT button will appear.

For convenience, if output 1 is assigned to the left Tweeter, the software will automatically assign output 2 to the right Tweeter. During the procedure, if the left midrange speakers are also assigned output 1, the software will display a warning message. Simply change the assignment of one of the two numbers in red and the software will automatically position it to the first available channel.

Press BACK to return to the previous step.

Press NEXT to continue with the configuration.

Press CANCEL to exit the procedure.

Signals: lets you set how AP F8.9 bit is turned on through:

- Turn ON by SPEAKER DC (ART): when Enabled is selected, AP F8.9 bit can be turned on through the amplified output (BTL) of a source connected to the inputs FL-FR-RL-RR. This function can be disabled by selecting Disabled.

Options Speed | Time | Master priority | Professional memory Turn at by SPINWOR DC (MFS) Time at by SPINWOR PERSHOLD (PDS) Enabled Browse Cancel OK

- Turning ON by SIGNAL PRESENCE (AST): when Enabled is selected, AP F8.9 bit can be turned on through the presence of a signal from a amplified source connected to the inputs IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4, IN5, IN6. The stand-by time (energy saver) for the device when there is no signal can be set through the function TIMES -> SLEEP time out for analog input (see next point). The shut down time for the device when there is no signal is set to 30 mins. This function can be disabled by selecting Disabled.

Times: Lets you change the settings for the times to turn AP F8.9 bit on and off.

  • Remote OUT delay (sec): this is the delay between disabling of the REMOTE OUT signal to the amplifiers and turning off AP F8.9 bit. It is not usually necessary to change this parameter but it may be useful to decrease it whenever there are amplifiers that produce a turn off "Bump".
  • MUTE release delay (sec): this is the delay between turning on the device and the activation of the output audio. Each amplifier has a turn on phase, its own delay before being operational. Setting Startup Time to a value equal to or greater than the longest delay will provide synchronized audio startup for the whole system.
  • SLEEP timeout for analog input (min): it sets the amplifier's stand-by time when there is no audio signal. The stand-by time (energy saver) can be set from 1 min minimum to 20 mins maximum. Normal operation is resumed when the audio signal is present. This function is set on 20 minutes by default and can be enabled by selecting the desired amount of minutes.

The SLEEP timeout for analog input function allows to save power and provides the ability for the product to work at lower temperatures.

Options Signal, Transfer Master security Master data security Results out data point: 2 Study transmission (ms): 4 Noise transmitted to the waiting signal power: 100 Noise output from data point: 1 Cancel OK

Remark: we recommend that the shortest possible activation time is selected in case of hybrid or electric propulsion cars; it won't affect the product normal operation.

- Wake delay from sleep (sec): it sets the amplifier resume delay from energy saver status. The delay time can be adjusted from a minimum of 0 sec. to a maximum of 5 secs. This function is set by default at 0 secs (disabled).

Remark: some factory (OEM) head units are provided with a control signal lasting approx. 2 secs during the turn-on phase to check if loudspeakers are in the system (see section 4.3). If the head unit is turned off while the car is being used, the AP F8.9 bit, if turned on through ART, will keep working to let the security alerts, phone alerts, navigation system alerts etc. be reproduced. When the head unit is turned on again, the speaker presence control alerts may be reproduced. To avoid this happens, you can set the Wake delay from sleep (sec) duration at a value slightly higher than the duration of the speaker presence control alerts.

WARNING: if the car is equipped with security alerts, phone alerts, navigation system alerts, ...etc., if you set a too long Wake delay from sleep (sec), reproduction of the first part of the mentioned signals might be missed.

If the SOLO function is active, "s" is shown in green.

If there are time delays on the channel, "fds" is shown in yellow. A channel can also be selected as shown in the outline in the image (see sec. 7.3.9).

7.3.9 SELECT CHANNEL 9

This window is enabled. You can click directly on the speaker or speaker system to be able to display or set the parameters for the individual channel. Once selected, the speaker(s) will be highlighted.

If you hold down the CTRL key and click on another channel, it will also be selected and highlighted as occurs with the "Channel Map"

(see sec. 7.3.8). Listening point visual indicator.

This window includes the position indicator (in red).

There are four preset points: driver, passenger, front center and rear center for passengers.

The indication only acts as a reference, allowing you to display the listening points for which the digital display calculation was optimized (see sec.7.3.11). If you set the delays in relation to the "driver" position and then you wish to also optimize the system for the "passenger" position, you must reset the distances in the specific menu since the system does not update them automatically.

If used together with the presets (see sec. 7.3.14) it is useful to try different setups according to the different listening points.

7.3.10 FILTER SETTINGS 10

AP F8.9 bit manages nine crossover filters, one for each output channel. Each filter allows you to set the parameters of a single output channel.

  1. Xover L/R Link: it lets you transfer the adjustments made on the Right channel to the Left one and vice versa. To activate it, you must click on the blue light, which will come on. Xover L/R Link acts on all of the adjustments of the Filter Settings except for Set Distance (Delay).
  2. Invert Phase: inverts the phase of the channel under examination by 180°. This can be done by selecting the green light which will turn on. This can be useful to solve phase alignment problems among the different filtered channels.
  3. Filter Type: it lets you select the type of filter to assign to the channels:

  4. Full Range

  5. Low Pass
  6. High Pass
  7. Band Pass

Filter type High Pass Full Range Low Pass High Pass Band Pass 12 Filter model Linkwitz Lo-P Hz Lo-P slope Set distance 0.0 0.0 in cm Delay Fine set 0.00 0.00 ms ms Invert phase XOver L/R link

In STANDARD mode:

Depending on the speaker or speaker system selected during configuration, a suitable type of filter will be available.

E.g.: For the Front Woofer, only Low Pass or Band Pass will be available. For Front Mid-Hi, only High Pass and Band Pass will be available, etc.

In EXPERT mode:

Any speaker system selected has any type of filter available.

WARNING: in EXPERT mode, pay careful attention to the filter selection. Speakers have mechanical limits that must not be exceeded, otherwise it could lead to permanent damage.

When a filter is selected, some optimized cut-off frequencies are set by default to avoid breaking the speakers.

E.g.: If you select Low Pass for a tweeter, the default frequency is suitable for a woofer but not for the tweeter, which could be damaged.

7.3.11 SET DISTANCE AND DELAY

AUDISON Prima AP F8.9 bit - SET DISTANCE AND DELAY - 1

This setting is based on an automatic system that calculates the time needed for the sound to get from the speaker to the listener's ear.

Preliminary remarks

Sound moves through the air at a speed of 343 m/sec (1.125 ft/sec.) at a temperature of 20^ C ( 68^ F). If you know the distance from the sound emission point, you can then calculate the time the sound takes to get to the listener's ear.

If you set the distances of the different speakers, AP F8.9 bit will automatically change them into time (ms - milliseconds). It does not assign a delay (0.0 ms) to the farthest speaker (usually the Subwoofer) and progressively growing delays as much as the other speakers get closer to the listening point, in order for all the emission points to reach the listening point at the same time.

Filter type High Pass Hi-P Hz 3000 Hi-P slope 12 Set distance in 48.2 cm Invert phase Filter model Linkwitz Lo-P Hz Lo-P slope Delay Fine set 0.00 0.25 ms ms XOver L/R link

SET DISTANCE

Lets you set the distance between the speaker and the listening point. Choose cm (centimeters) or in (inches). The "Set Distance" boxes can be set using the cursors.

DELAY ms/default

Displays the time in ms (milliseconds) calculated according to the distance.

DELAY ms/fine set

AP F8.9 bit time delay calculation system also lets you perform manual fine tuning.

Preliminary remarks

Fine set and Phase delay

Delay assignment according to distance calculation is theoretical.

Small variations must be applied due to small errors in distance measurement, back-wave reflections inside the car and, primarily, the speaker phase problem.

Two speakers reproducing two frequency areas that are close to each other (e.g.: Woofer and Midrange) will simultaneously reproduce the same frequencies in their crossing area, at a attenuated level. Due to the different nature of the speakers, they will have a phase difference that, for a short frequency interval, acts as a time delay.

By using "fine set", you can partly correct these Phase Delay problems.

By using the "fine set" button, you can change the automatically set delay time.

The delay is increased (+x.xx) or decreased (-x.xx) by the delay value shown in the window "Delay/default" and does not change the value shown, which is the one that is automatically assigned.

Assigning a positive value (+x.xx) using "fine delay" means increasing the delay for that speaker and thus moving it farther away from the listening point.

Likewise, assigning a negative value (-x.xx) means decreasing the speaker delay and thus moving it closer to the listening point.

In order for you to see how much "fine Set" has been manually changed, both delay values are shown. To see the resulting delay, physically applied to the output, you have to add the values shown in the "Delay / Default" and

"Delay / Fine Set" boxes. A negative value (decreasing the delay) can not be assigned to the farthest speaker; it can only be assigned to the other speakers as they are all already delayed compared to the farthest one. If you attempt to give the farthest speaker a negative value, a warning message will appear (Fig. 1).

When using "fine set" "fds" will appear in green on the corresponding channel on the "Channel Map" (Fig. 2).

WARNING This is the farthest speaker. Set the new distance to reduce delay. Close

Example of setting the time delay (Fig. 3):

  1. Choose the system listening point.
    To identify the listening point, choose an ideal spot in the center of the listener's head (driver or passenger).
    For the front center and rear center, choose a point between the two listeners.
  2. Measure the distance in a straight line from each speaker or group of speakers compared to the listening point. For each speaker, choose the center of the mobile membrane as the emission point. For groups of speakers, choose a point between them. It will then be possible to fine tune it using the Fine Set function.
  3. On the Channel Map, select the channel related to the speaker under examination and enter the respective distance in the Set Distance box in the Filter Settings menu.
  4. Repeat step 3 for each channel.

(Fig.3)

  1. Once the time delay settings are complete, start the musical reproduction and use the Fine Set box, moving the values up or down (except for the subwoofer since it is the farthest speaker) to fine tune the system for optimal sound. We recommend listening to various types of music (percussion, melodic, etc.) for better evaluation of the coherence (spatial stability) of the different musical instruments.

  2. Once the time alignment procedure is complete, you can work on the output equalizer (see sec. 7.3.12) to optimize the system response based on the level alignment of the various frequencies.

Remark: measurements for the above operations can also be taken using a spectrum analyzer with a suitable microphone. The results must be evaluated and optimized through listening tests.

WARNING: if, once you have set the distances for the "driver" listening point, you click on the "passenger" listening point,

AUDISON Prima AP F8.9 bit - Fine set and Phase delay - 4

AP F8.9 bit won't re-calculate the delays for the new reference because the buttons available in the SELECT CHANNEL

The AP F8.9 bit software provides an equalizer, that can be managed from a maximum of 10 graphic control points which automatically place a maximum of 10 parametric equalization points. The quantity of graphic control points used doesn't match the parametric poles quantity, which is determined by the adapting software.

The equalizer works according to the functional groups and so we have the following factory configuration:

- one equalizer for the Front Tweeter.

- one equalizer for the Front Mid

- one equalizer for the Front Woofer.

- one equalizer for the Rear.

To be able to change the parameters for the equalizer in order to set an equalization curve, just choose the channel to equalize from the "Channel Map" menu, positioning the mouse over the point to be set, and shape the curve using the left mouse button (green curve), or with the arrow keys "☐ for the P keyboard.

Remark: to select the frequency parametric pole in FINE mode,

use the PC keyboard keys "CTRL + " or "CTRL + ".

In order to vary the "Q" factor of the equalization point selected, just scroll using the mouse wheel featuring this function or using the keys "⊕" and "−" on the PC keyboard.

In order to delete the changes, just put the mouse over the point, select it with the left button and press CANC on the PC keyboard.

The equalizer has specific functions that aid in calibration and make it easier.

1 Flat brings all the cursors back to the 0 dB position;

L/R Link, when active, applies the equalization curve to both the right and left channel simultaneously.
EQ by Pass , when active, lets you disable the equalizer to check its effect without losing its settings.
4 Filter lets you display the electrical response subject to filtering (XOVER), by clicking on the box (red curve).
Filter + Eq lets you display the electrical response subject to equalization, by clicking on the box (yellow curve).
Parametric poles parameters this window is active when the user wants to adjust a parametric pole. The following parameters are listed:

-Fc: parametric pole operating frequency (Fmin 20Hz ÷ Fmax 20KHz).

-G: parametric pole gain (G min +12dB ÷ Gmax -12dB).

-Bw: bandwidth of the parametric pole applied (Bw min 100Hz ÷ BWmax 4800Hz).

To prevent the display of this window just press the ESC key from the PC keyboard.

Remark: In order to clearly display the set equalization curve, you can increase or decrease the vertical axis (dB) and horizontal axis (Hz) by moving the cursors to the side of them. The default is set to +12 dB and 0-20 kHz.

9.2 SPM4 (Stereo Passive Mixer 4Ch)

Stereo passive mixer (unpowered) featuring 4 input channels and 2 output channels, designed for active OEM multi-way systems where each speaker is powered by one specific amplified channel. SPM4 mixes audio through 4 audio transformers specifically developed to achieve very low distortion and highly linear acoustic response. SPM4 provides the ability to mix the midrange/woofer and tweeter channels coming from the amplifier and supply one single mid-high channel. The Ch1(L/R) channels feature two inputs, one features an inverting input compared to Ch2 (L/R) channels; the mixing process often gives better results when one of the two channels undergoes a 180° dephasing. SPM4 is especially recommended to extend the number of inputs of the Audison digital processors or amplifiers with built-in DSP because they feature a De-equalizer (De-Eq). In that case, any possible non-linear acoustic emissions due to the mixing of the pre-existing filtered channels are duly compensated.
