What’s Included

Wire Recommendations

The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers. Use a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplifier-to-speaker connections. Which gauge to select depends on the length of wire to be used on any particular speaker. The longer your run is, the larger your wire size must be.

About the DSP3-150

The DSP3-150 is highly flexible with three channels of power, featuring two channels at 150W each and one sub channel at 300W. Total wattage is 600W @ 4Ω, with 150W on the left and right channels and 300W for the subwoofer channel.

The third channel provides an easy way to control the low-end output of passive subwoofers. With a dedicated DSP curve for the subwoofer, you’re able to tune the cross-over point precisely and use specialized processing on the full-range loudspeakers.

Please note that the 300W subwoofer channel uses a summed stereo signal.

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem, try isolating it first. For example, if you’re playing a DVD and there is no sound, try replacing the DVD with an MP3 player to see if you get sound. If it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the cables connecting them. If it doesn’t work, the problem will be with the amplifier, speakers, or those cables.
