1. BIT TUNE DESCRIPTION
The bit Tune is a set of electronic tools that improve and simplify audio installations in cars.
The system consists of an audio interface featuring a set of microphones, various connections and a connection to the PC where the software is the user interface and provides for the management and analysis of the audio system.
The tools are mainly divided into two groups, requiring a connection to the PC: self-calibration of Audison bit processors, and electrical and acoustic analysis tools.
There is an additional group of tools that do not require a PC and that can help in solving some of the problems that are often encountered in car audio installations.
The bit Tune, in addition to being a valuable tool to optimally and quickly calibrate the Audison bit signal processors, is also a very useful set of electronic tools which, in audio applications, replaces several bulky, expensive and complex traditional instruments that are often not available.
With the bit Tune there is considerable support for increasing audio knowledge, finding solutions to complex issues and experiment according to your creativity.
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION OF AUDISON BIT PROCESSORS
The PC software, through the hardware acquisition system connected to the PC via USB, performs the analysis of the acoustic response of the car's passenger compartment and it sets, through a Target curve, the optimal acoustic response and time delays that the installed processor will store in memory.
The Target curve is a goal to be achieved taking into account several factors:
A) Type of vehicle's passenger compartment.
B) Type of amplification system installed.
C) Response of the speakers.
D) Type of processor installed.
The Target curve can be linear (Flat curve) ensuring a linear response that can be measured with specific tools through the RTA measurement. Experience suggests that a certain degree of coloration of the response gives greater pleasure to the listening. There are therefore three other Target curves (HAC- Harmonized Acoustic Curve) that can be selected according to personal tastes.
The Target curve can also be modeled at will (Custom) to allow sound characterization according to personal listening experience.
In order to listen to the different target curves it is necessary to allow the bit Tune to program the processor using its available memory. Sound processing is performed by the processor, following the instructions provided by the bit Tune.
1.1 PRECAUTIONARY NOTES
Before using the bit Tune, please refer to all instructions contained in the manual. We recommend to closely follow the instructions. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in unintentional injuries or damage to equipment or devices connected to it.
WARNING: do not connect the bit Tune probes to the mains voltage. The product is not designed for measuring the mains voltage (110/220 VAC). Such connection, in addition to damaging the device, it could be very dangerous to the user!
- In order to use the measurement tools of the bit Tune, you must install the software on a personal computer running Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, with a 1.5 GHz processor or higher, 1 GB of RAM and a graphics card with minimum resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.
Note: - The bit Tune PC software might show malfunctioning with some PCs manufactured before 2006 even with processors running at higher speed than the minimum required. It is recommended to check using "Windows Update" and make sure that the available updates are installed in the PC. - Before performing the measurements, check that the Antivirus is not scanning the PC. If you experience any problems, it is advisable to disable the Antivirus, even if it is not scanning the PC, and close all the other running programs.
- Please use only the specific power adapters provided in the package.
- For use in the car please check that the vehicle's electrical system has a supply voltage of 12 VDC with negative to ground. If you are using the network adapter, select the power supply connector suitable for the country of use (provided in the package).
- Do not perform any measurement in the engine compartment and in locations exposed to water, excessive moisture, dust and dirt.
- Take measurements in places where the temperature does not go below 0 °C (32 °F) and does not exceed 55 °C (131 °F).
- Make sure that the positioning of the device does not interfere with the proper functioning of the car's electrical or mechanical devices.
- Make sure you do not short the power cord during the measurement.
- In order to facilitate the measurement, route the cables the best possible way, using cables supplied with the product and referring to instructions provided in the USER'S MANUAL.

6. BATTERY SCOPE
This tool implements a VDC oscilloscope, which monitors the behavior of the vehicle's battery voltage during engine start or during the audio system operation.
The active inputs for this type of measurement are:
SPK Left+ SPK Left -

line
| Time (ms) | Voltage (V) | | --------- | ----------- | | 0 | 14.00 | | 100 | 9.00 | | 200 | 12.00 | | 300 | 13.00 | | 400 | 13.50 | | 500 | 13.50 |Purpose of the measurement:
In audio installations some malfunction or unwanted noise on the speakers may occur, especially when starting the engine.
When starting the engine, the vehicle's battery voltage may drop, for a few moments, below 8 Volts. This can compromise the normal operation of some audio device.
The Battery Scope allows to measure, by displaying it, this phenomenon, which otherwise is not detectable by an ordinary tester, given the brevity of the duration. Once you have found that the problem is caused by low battery voltage, proceed to battery recharging or replacement.
Control panel description:
- Play: Starts the measurement, start the car subsequently.
- Maximum battery voltage before starting the car.
- Minimum battery voltage peak reached during ignition.
- ✗ Close: Closes the Battery Scope measurement window.
Remark: when the Battery Scope instrument is used, power the bit Tune using the mains adapter. While performing the measurement, connect the alligator supplied in the packaging between the car chassis and the BNC PROBE LEFT connector.
Refer to section 7.9 with measurement examples.
- TARGET CURVE

line
| Frequency | Value | | --------- | ----- | | 20 | 3 | | 50 | 1 | | 100 | 2 | | 200 | 3 | | 500 | 4 | | 800 | 5 | | 1k | 6 | | 2k | 7 | | 5k | 8 | | 10k | 9 | | 20k | 10 | | 50k | 11 |When you start the Processor Auto Setup function (see sect. 6.2.6) you are prompted to set a Target curve.
The PC software, through the hardware acquisition system connected to the PC via USB, performs the analysis of the acoustic response of the passenger compartment and sets, using a Target curve, the optimal acoustic response and time delays that the installed processor will store.
The Target curve is a goal to be achieved taking into account several factors:
A) Type of vehicle's passenger compartment.
B) Type of amplification system installed.
C) Response of the speakers.
D) Type of processor installed.
In order to listen to the different target curves it is necessary to allow the bit Tune to program the processor using its available memories. Sound processing is performed by the processor, following the instructions provided by the bit Tune.
Description of functions:
-
Target Curve Setting: Open the window to select a Target curve:
-
HAC-U ▶ Harmonized Acoustic Curve Universal
- HAC-R ▶ Harmonized Acoustic Curve Rock
- HAC-J ▶ Harmonized Acoustic Curve Jazz
- Flat ▶ Flat Curve.

Custom: The Target curve can also be modeled at will to allow sound characterization according to personal listening experience.
Flat Curve: does not apply any equalization, ensuring a linear response that can be measured instrumentally through the RTA measurement.
Experience suggests that a degree of coloring of the response confers greater pleasantness to the listening experience. Below are three other Target curves, optimized for a pleasant acoustic response and which can be chosen according to personal taste.
During the Auto Eq + Auto Time Alignment procedure you can select two preset target curves (see sect. 7.6.9).
The software provides an 11-pole parametric equalizer. To vary the equalizer parameters, in order to set a Target equalization curve, it is possible to operate in two ways:
a) position the mouse cursor at the pole to be set and model the curve using the mouse.
b) Draw Curve: select a pole with the mouse and manually set the Frequency, Gain and Q values.
After modeling the equalization curve, disable the Draw Curve function button.
Save the curve using the Save Curve function.

line
| Frequency (Hz) | Value | | -------------- | ----- | | 622 | 1 | | 11.2 | 2 | | 5.0 | 3 | | 6 | 4 | | 7 | 5 | | 8 | 6 | | 9 | 7 | | 10 | 8 | | 11 | 9 |- Flat Curve: Restores the equalizer linearly (Flat) for a curve that was created earlier.
- OK: Confirms the changes entered for the Target curve, making it available to the Processor Auto setup, without saving it to your PC.
- Edit Curve / Save Curve: Srecalls a preloaded or new curve and then saves it. The saving of the set curve is stored in a file (eg: "curve.srv"), which can be later reloaded in the bit Tune or Virtuoso, using the Load Curve function.
- Delete a Curve ☒ Deletes a previously saved response curve.
- Import Curve: Loads a Target Curve previously saved on the PC.
- Close: Closes the window without making any change/variations to the Target Curve. Refer to section 7.6 with measurement examples.
8. SOURCE CHECK
The tool allows you to analyze signals from an amplified or pre-amplified source measuring amplitude distortion and frequency response using the audio tracks provided in the bit Tune Setup CD.
WARNING: When testing power output of an amplifier, it is recommended to disconnect the speakers from the amplifier and replace them with an appropriate resistive load capable of handling the output of the amplifier. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.

Description of functions:
1-2-3. Buttons for changing the full-scale sensitivity of the oscilloscope.
Depending on the selected inputs (see sect. 3.3 point 6) the sensitivity values are pre-set:
RCA inputs: 1 V - 10 V - 100 V.
BNC inputs: 1 V - 10 V - 100 V.
SPK IN inputs: 10 V - 100 V - 1000 V.
Use buttons 1 - 2 - 3 to best display the amplitude of the signal being examined without it exceeding the full-scale amplitude.
- IN: Indicates the active input selected for the measurement (see sect. 3.3 point 6).
- LEFT: Activates the measurement of the signal on the LEFT input channel. The track displayed on the screen is blue.
- RIGHT: Activates the measurement of the signal on the RIGHT input channel. The track displayed on the screen is green.
- PAUSE: Blocks the acquisition of the input signal, freezing the acquired signal on the screen.
- Slow Roll: Sets the "time/div" time base for the signal acquisition to a slow pace. Acquires the signal whose cycle is less than 5 seconds.
9 -10 -11. Depending on the frequency of the signals to be displayed, you need to set the timebase to the optimal frequency for a correct visualization.
100 Hz: 0.0025 sec/division (2.5 ms/div.)
1 KHz: 0.00025 sec/division (0.25 ms/div.)
10 KHz: 0.00025 sec/division (0.025 ms/div.)
Through the time display of the cyclic (periodic) signal, you can know its frequency:
$$ \text { Frequency (Hz) } = \frac {1}{\text { Period (ms) }} $$
The period is the time that the signal takes to complete a cycle. The period's time is measured by adding the number of divisions in a signal's cycle.

6.2.5 "SETTINGS" MAIN MENU
Clicking on the Settings button opens a drop down menu as shown on the right:

1. MIC CALIBRATION
This function starts a wizard for calibrating the HSM microphone. The procedure must be performed when using the instrument for the first time and periodically according to use (see sect. 7.1).
2. CONNECT TO
This feature allows to connect and synchronize the PC Software to the bit Tune or to the Audison bit processor, connecting it via the USB OUT port of the bit Tune. When the Audison processor connection is active (see sect. 6.2.6), it will not be possible to interact with the PC software of the Audison processor.

Select Connect to -> bit Tune to connect the PC Software to the bit Tune. Select Connect to -> Processor to connect the PC Software to an Audison bit processor.

3. DISCONNECT TO
This feature allows you to disconnect from the bit Tune PC Software a previously interfaced Audison processor or the bit Tune itself. When the processor is DISCONNECTED from the Tune bit PC Software, but is still connected via the USB cable, you can use the processor's PC software in conjunction with the software of the bit Tune.

Select Disconnect -> bit Tune to disconnect the bit Tune from the PC Software. Select Disconnect -> Processor to disconnect the Audison bit processor from the PC Software.
4. COMPANY INFO
Customizes the bit Tune through the user's personal data. This information will be printed on the header of the final report (see sect 6.2.4.9).

5. LANGUAGE
Allows you to display context messages in the selected language (Italian or English). By default, the PC software is automatically set to the English language. To change the language, select language from the menu and restart the PC software.
Note: Additional languages may be available in the future. Please check through "Check for Updates" (see sect. 6.2.3.6).

6.2.6 PROCESSOR AUTO SETUP MENU
Using the "Processor Auto Setup" function you can automatically set time delays, equalization curve and output levels of an Audison bit connected to the bit Tune, setting the processor memories according to your needs. For best acoustic results, the placement of the speakers and their orientation is very important. In fact, no equalizer can improve "fuzzy" sounds or rich in unwanted harmonics, resulting from internal reflections in the vehicle. Before the Processor auto Setup, make sure that the audio system is characterized in the most appropriate manner possible.

MENU description
- CHANNEL MAP: This window is active, and corresponds to the CHANNEL MAP of the processor connected and previously configured. The window contains the listening position indicator (selected in green). The diagram shows four positions: driver (Front Left), passenger (Front Right), center front (Front) and rear passengers (Rear). The indication is acting solely as a reference, allowing you to view the listening point on which the calculation of time delays and equalization has been optimized. During the measurements the HSM microphone will be positioned on the selected listening point.
REMARK: if the central zone is selected as the listening point, through a guided procedure the software will manage the positioning of the HSM microphone step by step through messages, in order to recreate an Overall listening based on several measures inside the passenger compartment of the car. The maximum performance of the Overall processing will be obtained using the bit One HD Virtuoso, where it will be possible to take advantage of the "Percept Ⓞ" algorithm that will exploit the FIR platform of the dsp in use.
If you select the calibration of a listening point of the "Driver" or "Passenger" type, the software will instruct you to place the HSM microphone in the position corresponding to the listening point.
-
Auto EQ + Auto Time Alignment: This function starts the wizard for the complete automatic setting of the Audison bit processors for the equalization, the time delays and the amplifiers sensitivity check (see sect. 7.6).
-
Auto Time Alignment: This function (included in the function described in point 2) only starts the wizard for calibrating automatically, inside the Audison bit processor, the time delays of the system (see sect. 7.7).
After the Auto EQ + Auto Time Alignment procedure, or in the case of previously calibrated processors, it can be useful to check or edit the time delays. - Level Check: This function (included in point 2) only starts the wizard for controlling the level of the system's audio channels. The system warns you in case of major differences in the acoustic level, suggesting to tweak the sensitivity of the amplifiers. Small variations in level between different channels and the stereo balance will be corrected automatically connected to the outputs of the processor. The Level Check can be useful if you want to check the correct sensitivity level of the amplifier, without starting the Auto EQ + Auto Time Alignment procedure.
- Position: Next to this tag is the name of the listening point chosen in the Channel Map.
- Level Check: The LED lighting up indicates that the "Level Check" procedure has been performed.
- Auto EQ + Auto Time Alignment: The LED lighting up indicates that the "Auto EQ + Auto Time Alignment" procedure has been performed.
- Auto Time Alignment: The LED lighting up indicates that the "Auto Time Alignment" procedure has been performed.
- Memory Status: Displays operations performed on the memories of the connected processor.
- Save Config: Saves the memory configurations of the connected processor.
- Finalize: Transfers calibration adjustments to the memories of the connected processor.

6.3 SOFTWARE START IN BIT TUNE MODE
The launch of the PC Software in "bit Tune" mode provides all the tools described in section 6.2, relating the "TOOLS", section, except the functionalities of interfacing to an Audison bit processor: AUTO EQ+AUTO TIME ALIGNMENT, AUTO TIME ALIGNMENT, LEVEL CHECK, POLARITY CHECK.
7. USING BIT TUNE WITH THE HELP OF A PC
7.1 SOURCE CHECK
Analyzes, through electrical measurements, the characteristics of an audio source connected to the bit Tune. It is possible to measure the maximum output voltage, the maximum undistorted level (value required for connecting to a processor), the distortion, or to check for any malfunctions.
It is also possible to display the presence of equalization on the output signal of the source, and determine the need to perform the de-equalization process in the processor.
It is necessary to perform this analysis when connecting a processor to a source in order to ensure the highest level of undistorted signal. This allows to avoid any background noise at the output of the processor, and in general, to ensure the highest undistorted level at the input of any audio device, and obtain the best acoustic response.

-
Connect the bit Tune to the Audison bit processor, as shown in fig. 1 or 2 (see points A and B).
-
Disconnect all speaker wires from the system's speakers.
- Set the sensitivity level of the amplifiers to the minimum (5 V RMS).
- Turn the bit Tune on and connect the USB cable to the PC.
- Set the function switch of the bit Tune to PC ANALYZER.
- Set the SIGNAL INPUT SELECT switch on SPEAKER IN.
- Turn on the Audison bit processor and connect the USB cable to the bit Tune.
- Start the bit Tune software by clicking the icon on the PC desktop created by the installation and launch the software in bit Tune + Processor mode.
A. bit Ten: Connect the AUX Left and Right inputs of the bit Ten to the Pre Out Left and Right outputs of the bit Tune, and set the level of the AUX inputs to position 1.

B. bit One: Connect the AUX1 Left and Right inputs of the bit Ten to the Pre Out Left and Right outputs of the bit Tune.
- Select the Oscilloscope function from the "Tools" menu of the PC software or click on Oscilloscope from the main menu.

- Select the Generator tool and set it as shown on the right. The suggested value of the generator's output voltage is approximately 3V RMS. This value can be reduced to increase the sound impact at a low listening volume. It should be considered that the reduction of the voltage results in an increase of the amplifiers' input sensitivity, with consequent increase of the background noise. If you want to change the suggested voltage, evaluate the best compromise between the acoustic situations.


- Connect the SPK IN LEFT and/or RIGHT inputs of the bit Tune to the STEREO or MONO channels of the amplifier being tested using the cables supplied with the product. Set the generator's Processor Volume to 0 dB. Verify that the sine wave shown on the screen is within the maximum width displayed, otherwise change the scale (1 V, 10 V, 100 V). Increase the level of sensitivity of the amplifier connected to the SPK IN inputs of the bit Tune until you see on the oscilloscope a sine wave on the edge of clipping, as shown here.

-
Set the generator's Processor Volume to -60 dB.
-
Turn off the audio system's amplifiers acting on the remote switch.
- Disconnect the SPK IN inputs of the bit Tune from the outputs of the amplifiers.
-
Reconnect to the amplifiers the speakers previously disconnected and turn them on again.
-
After this operation the sensitivity levels of the amplifiers are fine tuned. In the next Processor Auto Setup, the Level Check of the bit Tune will further correct the level of the processor's outputs in order to refine the remaining level differences of the system.
7.4.2 CHECKING THE SIGNAL LEVELS IN AUDIO SYSTEM: LEVEL CHECK
The Level Check verification procedure must be performed in systems where the sensitivity of the amplifiers has already been set in an optimum manner, see sect 7.4.1. The Level Check is part of the Auto EQ + Auto Time Alignment procedure, but can be used independently for further verifications.

IMPORTANT: In the processors you
should enable the AUX input if you use a bit Ten/D or AUX1 if you use a bit One through PC software. This can be disabled after the measurements. If you want to connect the bit Tune to AP bit amplifiers to perform measurements, but the AUX input port is already occupied, you can use the OPTICAL input port (see section 4.5.6).

- Connect the bit Tune to the Audison bit processor, as shown in fig. 1, 2 or 3 (see points A, B and C). The Level Check procedure must be performed in an environment that is not noisy, with the car's engine off, air conditioning off, doors and windows tightly closed and radio frequency devices away from the car's passenger compartment
- Turn the bit Tune on and connect the USB cable to the PC.
- Set the function switch of the bit Tune on PC ANALYZER.
- Turn on the Audison bit processor and connect the USB cable to the bit Tune.
- Start the bit Tune software by clicking the icon on the PC desktop and start the bit Tune + Processor mode.
A. bit Ten: Connect the AUX Left and Right inputs of the bit Ten to the Pre Out Left and Right outputs of the bit Tune, and set the level of the AUX inputs to position 1.


B. bit One: Connect the AUX1 Left and Right inputs of the bit One to the Pre Out Left and Right outputs of the bit Tune
C. AP bit: connect the Aux input to the L-R outputs of the bit Tune, ensuring that the AUX input is enabled. If you want to connect the bit Tune to AP bit amplifiers to perform measurements, but the AUX input port is already occupied, you can use the OPTICAL input (see section 4.5.6).
- Choose the Level Check tool from the main menu of the PC Software.

-
The system will ask if you want to perform a phase measurement of the system's speakers (Polarity Check).
-
Choose YES to perform a phase measurement of the speakers (see sect. 7.3).
- Choose NO to skip this operation if you already performed it earlier.
- Choose Don't ask me again, to cancel the request for future measurements.

-
Place the LPM microphone in the elastic fastening bracket as shown in figure 1.
-
Select one of the available processor memories to save the measurement settings.
- Click Start to start the measurement.
- Click Cancel to abort the measurement.

-
At the end of the measurement procedure of the speakers' levels you will see one of the following messages:
-
A message indicating that the measurement operation was successful.
Click OK to confirm the measurement operation.
- A message indicating that the level of the measurement signal is too low. In this case, repeat the operation by checking the connections of the audio system and repeat the amplifier calibration procedure if needed (see sect. 7.41).

-
Select the FINALIZE function from the main menu of the bit Tune PC software if you want to store the calibration data.
-
The Level Check verification is completed. If you were performing the Auto EQ + Auto Time Alignment or Auto Time Alignment automatic calibration procedure, continue with it (see sect. 7.5–7.7).
7.5 CALIBRATION OF THE SENSITIVITY LEVEL OF A SYSTEM WITHOUT AUDISON BIT PROCESSOR

-
Connect the PRE OUT L-R outputs of the bit Tune to the input of the amplifier/s for which you need to adjust the input sensitivity.
-
Disconnect all speaker wires from the amplifiers.
- Set the sensitivity level of the amplifiers to the minimum (5 V RMS).
-
Turn the bit Tune on and connect the USB cable to the PC.
-
Set the function switch of the bit Tune on PC ANALYZER.
- Set the SIGNAL INPUT SELECT switch on SPK IN.
- Turn on the Audison bit processor and connect the USB cable to the bit Tune.
-
Start the bit Tune software by clicking the icon on the PC desktop created by the installation and launch the software in bit Tune mode.
-
Select the Oscilloscope function from the "Tools" menu of the PC software or click on Oscilloscope from the main menu.

- Select the Generator tool and set it as shown on the right. The suggested value of the generator's output voltage is approximately 3V RMS. This value can be reduced to increase the sound impact at a low listening volume. It should be considered that the reduction of the voltage results in an increase of the amplifiers' input sensitivity, with consequent increase of the background noise. If you want to change the suggested voltage, evaluate the best compromise between the acoustic situations.

- Connect the SPK IN LEFT and/or RIGHT inputs of the bit Tune to the STEREO or MONO channels of the amplifier being tested using the cables supplied with the product.
Activate the signal on the bit Tune outputs. Verify that the sine wave shown on the screen is within the maximum width displayed, otherwise change the scale (1 V, 10 V, 100 V). Increase the level of sensitivity of the amplifier connected to the SPK IN inputs of the bit Tune until you see on the oscilloscope a sine wave on the edge of clipping, as shown here.

- Set the output level control of the generator to -60 dB (see point 4).
- Turn off the audio system's amplifiers acting on the remote switches.
- Disconnect the SPK IN inputs of the bit Tune from the outputs of the amplifiers.
-
Reconnect to the amplifiers the speakers previously disconnected and turn them on again.
-
After this operation the sensitivity levels of the amplifiers are electrically tuned in an optimal way.
Note: The acoustic levels of the different channels depend not only on the sensitivity of the amplifiers, but also on the efficiency of the speakers. For optimal acoustic calibration of the audio system you must proceed to the measurement of the response curve (RTA). After this measurement you may also need to tweak the sensitivity of the amplifier in order to compensate for the efficiency of the speakers (see sect. 7.8.2).
7.6 AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION OF THE PROCESSOR: AUTO EQ + AUTO TIME ALIGNMENT
7.6.1 DSP CONNECT MODE
This section highlights the calibration phases of an Audison bit processor interfaced to the system with the aid of the bit Tune. The process includes the use of a series of instruments also available separately:
Auto EQ+ Auto Time Alignment, Polarity Check, Level check.
At the end of the process the system will perform the automatic calibration of the equalizer (Auto EQ).
The calibration is performed with a system including an Audison processor previously configured (finalized), and after having performed the procedures described in sections (see sect. 7.3 - 7.4).

- Connect the bit Tune to the Audison bit processor, as shown in fig. 1, 2 or 3 (see points A, B and C). The AUTO EQ+ AUTO TIME ALIGNMENT procedure must be performed in an environment that is not noisy, with the car's engine off, air conditioning off, doors and windows tightly closed and radio frequency devices away from the car's passenger compartment.
- Turn the bit Tune on and connect the USB cable to the PC.
- Set the function switch of the bit Tune on PC ANALYZER.
- Turn on the Audison bit processor and connect the USB cable to the bit Tune.
- Start the bit Tune software by clicking the icon on the PC desktop created by the installation and launch the software in bit Tune + Processor mode.
A. bit Ten: Connect the AUX Left and Right inputs of the bit Ten to the Pre Out Left and Right outputs of the bit Tune, and set the level of the AUX inputs to position 1.


B. bit One: Connect the AUX1 Left and Right inputs of the bit Ten to the Pre Out Left and Right outputs of the bit Tune.
C. AP bit: connect the Aux input to the L-R outputs of the bit Tune, ensuring that the AUX input is enabled. If you want to connect the bit Tune to AP bit amplifiers to perform measurements, but the AUX input port is already occupied, you can use the OPTICAL input (see section 4.5.6).
-
- Select Auto EQ + Auto Time Alignment to start the complete wizard of the automatic calibration process of the Audison bit processors for equalization and time delays.

-
The system will ask if you want to perform a phase measurement of the system's speakers (Polarity Check) via the LPM microphone, placed near the speakers.
-
Choose YES to perform a phase measurement of the speakers (see sect. 7.3).
- Choose NO to skip this operation if it was already performed earlier.
- Choose Don't ask me again, to cancel the request for future measurements.

-
The system will ask if you want to measure the levels of the system's speakers (Level Check) via the LPM microphone positioned as shown in fig. 1,2.
-
Choose YES to perform a measurement of the speakers' levels (see sect. 7.4.2)
- Choose NO to skip this operation if it was already performed earlier.

-
Place the HSM microphone in the fastening bracket on the headrest corresponding to the listening point chosen on the Channel Map.
-
Select one of the available memories of the processor.
- Click Start to start the measurement. This may take several minutes.
- Click Cancel to exit the measurement.

- At the end of the measurement you will see:
- A window asking for the presence of hidden speakers in the listening system:
- Choose Yes, to select the real distance of the hidden speakers.
- Choose NO, to continue with the calibration procedure (point 15).
Note: Hidden speaker. It is a speaker positioned behind a barrier which is almost closed with respect to the HSM microphone. The barrier may prevent the microphone from properly calculating the distance through the time delay. Generally, the hidden speaker is a Subwoofer located in the luggage compartment of the vehicle.


- Click on hidden speakers respect to the listening point and manually enter the correct distance.
WARNING: If your system has a Subwoofer, enter the distance in cm or inch measuring it manually.

- Choose OK to continue;
-
Choose CANCEL to exit the process.
-
Proceed as follows:
- Tick the "Enable phase correction" box if you want to enable the loudspeakers phase automatic correction.
WARNING: do not confuse the "Enable
"phase correction" with the "Polarity Check" instrument
(see section 5.2.4.5)


The "Enable phase correction" suggests the possibility to improve the acoustic response by inverting some louspeakers' phase.
The acoustic improvement offered by the phase inversion depends on multiple, also subjective, factors. Therefore its effectiveness needs to be in any case verified from an acoustics point of view (see point 9) compared

- Select the type of equalization curve to apply to the system by choosing a preset curve from the "Target Curve" menu, or create a custom curve by clicking on the "Target Curve" button
(see section 6.2.4.7).
There are three preset Target Curves: HAC-U (default), HAC-R, HAC-J, Flat.
- HAC-U: applies an optimized equalization for standard listening.
- HAC-R: applies an optimized equalization for listening to rhythmic music.
- HAC-J: applies an optimized equalization for listening to instrumental music.
Flat Curve: it doesn't apply any equalization to the system, ensuring linear response that can be measured with the RTA instrument. Acoustically, it does not guarantee any improvement for the listening in the car passenger compartment
- Select on the "Algorithm" menu the type of algorithm to apply to the audio system frequency response (suggested: Medium).


Remark: Three algorithms are selectable: Soft, Medium, Hard. The algorithm processes the data that the bit Tune measures making the response curve similar to the Target Curve. This approximation can be either less strict (Soft) or more precise (Hard). The choice of the algorithm type depends on many factors, such as the passenger compartment's structure, the audio system setup, etc.
Your experience will suggest the best type of algorithm, to customize the type of music. The suggested choice constituting the best compromise is the Medium algorithm.
- Select Process Data to process the entered information.
- For an acoustic response, choose from the following options:
- Processor Master Input to select the Master input of the processor and perform a listening test of the processed settings through the main source of the sound system. - Processor Optical Input to select the Master input of the processor and perform a listening test of the processed settings through the source equipped with an optical output.
- Audio Player to perform a listening test of the processed settings through the bit Tune player (see sect. 6.2.4.4)
- Pink Noise for an acoustic test of the processed settings.
- Pink Noise Continuous for an acoustic test of the processed settings.
- Processor Volume adjusts the listening volume of the system.
- Save to save the equalization settings. If this operation is not performed the changes will not be allocated to the DSP memory.
- Finish to complete the calibration procedure. Otherwise repeat step 9.
- Choose the FINALIZE function from the main menu of the bit Tune PC software to avoid losing the data stored during the calibration phase and store them in one of the memories of the processor.


- At the end of the calibration procedure, save the measurement session carried out, in order to be able to subsequently recall the measurements performed, without having to repeat them again in "CONNECT" mode.
Remark: in the next paragraph, we will see how it will be possible to use the measurements made to process the measurements in off-line mode (without connecting the bit Tune), to perform new setups with the Virtuoso.
7.6.2. BIT ONE HD VIRTUOSO OFFLINE MODE DATA PROCESS.
The OFF line mode allows, if you have previously saved a measurement session of a system with bit One HD Virtuoso, the processing of environmental measurements, without having to connect the bit Tune and the DSP. The procedure will automatically generate a setup file, which will need to be reloaded on the bit One HD Virtuoso.
- Open the bit Tune software in OFF line mode.

- Load a previously saved work session where measurements were acquired with the bit One HD Virtuoso (see section 6.2.3.2).
- As soon as the work session is opened, the software will show the Percept processing page. At this point, as described in section 7.6.1.8/9, carry out new processing, for example by varying the target curve or the algorithm.

- By clicking on the Process Data button, the bit Tune will create a virtual setup.

- At the end of the processing, select the SAVE button, choose the memory where the setup just processed should be saved and select "OK" and "FINISH."

- When finished, choose Save config.

The software will create a new setup to be loaded into the bit One HD Virtuoso.

- The setup just generated can be loaded into the bit One HD Virtuoso at the end of the operation.
7.7 AUTOMATIC CALCULATION OF TIME DELAYS: AUTO TIME ALIGNMENT
This section highlights the calibration phases of the time delays of an Audison bit processor interfaced to the system with the aid of the bit Tune.
The process is included in the AUTO EQ + AUTO TIME ALIGNMENT procedure (see sect. 7.6). It can be run separately to set the time delays of the speakers through an Audison bit processor.
The operation is performed with a system including an Audison processor previously finalized.

7.8 RTA MEASUREMENT
The RTA (Real Time Analyzer) measurement is the fundamental measurement for audio systems in that, through the microphone, checks the acoustic effect that reaches the ears of the listener.
It takes into account all the parameters of the audio system, including the acoustic response of the vehicle's passenger compartment. However, a linear response does not indicate good listening, because the human ear perceives sounds in a nonlinear way.
But it represent an essential starting point for the acoustic refinement of the audio system.
The RTA measurement is appropriately considered in the calibration procedure (Auto Eq + Auto Time Alignment).

A. Multi-amplification system. Intervene on the sensitivity levels of the amplifiers or on the level of cutoff frequencies of the electronic crossovers, to compensate for the excessive level differences appearing in the RTA.
B. System with a passive crossover. Intervene on the passive crossovers attenuators or replace the speaker, to compensate for the excessive level differences appearing in the RTA.
For the noise testing system, use a reference sound track, using the bit Tune Player or the audio system source (CD).

8. USING BIT TUNE WITHOUT A PC
The bit Tune allows to perform a series of measurements without the aid of a PC, in order to identify critical points in the audio system.
8.1 LOAD SIMULATOR SPEAKER IN
Allows to check whether, for the correct operation, the amplified outputs of the OEM source need a connection to a speaker. The OEM sources requiring a load on the outputs do not allow to draw from them the audio signal needed to drive the input of other devices. The test is performed from the bit Tune by inserting a resistive or inductive load. After verification, you will need to connect a load similar to the OEM source outputs in order to connect it to an amplifier or processor (see sect. 3.3.12).

Acting on the LOAD SIMULATOR SPEAKER IN button, find out in which condition you have an acoustic signal on the bit Tune's internal speaker, selecting the L/R switch.
Repeat for the REAR section, if present.
NO LOAD: The source does not require any load.

47 OHM: The source requires a 47 Ohm - 5 W resistance on the outputs.

SPK SYM: The source requires an inductive load simulating the speaker's impedance.
One possible solution is to interpose a Connection SLI 2/4 decoupling-transformer between the source and the device equipped with PRE inputs.

8.2 SPEAKER IN SIMULATOR
Check the activation of devices with Hi-Level (Speaker In) inputs, equipped with automatic ignition (ART: Automatic Remote Turn On).
Connect the SPEAKER OUT output of the bit Tune to the HI-Level input of the device under test and verify its activation. No need to send a signal to the bit Tune, you can still generate a signal from the PC via the Player function (see sect. 6.2.4.4).

8.3 LINE ANALYZER
Check for an audio signal and any noise on the analog audio line at Hi level or Low level (Pre/Hi Level) or on the optical digital line (S/PDIF). This check is performed by listening to the signal on the internal speaker.

NOTES: you do not need a connection with the PC in order to verify the correct operation of the optical digital output of a source.
By connecting a PC, you can analyze the type of digital signal that you are looking at (see sect. 6.2.4.1).
The measurement of the digital signal on the output of a source allows you to verify the actual resolution according to the type of track being played. For example:
Track resolution 96/192 kHz - 24-bit -> 48 kHz - 24 bit output.
In this case, the source has applied a resolution downgrade to the signal, reducing quality. The same measuring operation can be performed on a device equipped with a digital input and output. You just need to drive the device with the bit Tune's PLAYER (OPTICAL OUT), play a high-resolution track stored on your PC and connect the output of the device to the OPTICAL IN input of the bit Tune.
8.4 ELECTROMAGNETIC NOISE ANALYZER
Placing the EMS probe in the vicinity of electrical parts or on the car's wiring with the engine running, you can identify acoustically, through the internal speaker, the higher sources of electromagnetic interference.
Locate the noisiest areas, avoid them when wiring audio cables. Prefer the less disturbed areas for the installation of audio equipment (amplifiers, processors, passive crossovers, etc.).
