What’s Included

Wire Recommendations

For this setup, use a direct burial, multi-stranded wire designed for amplifier to speakers connections. 70V systems greatly minimize the effect of speaker wire (resistance) which allows you to use a lighter gauge wire. Refer to this chart to select the minimum wire gauge —Heavier gauge wire is always OK.

About the DSP3-700

This amplifier is a highly flexible and intelligent digital audio 3 Channel Class D power amplifier. The DSP3-700 delivers up to a total of 2,100W @4Ω or is able to drive 70/100V constant voltage lines. All setup parameters for input/output processes and DSP features are accessible by using the remote PC software. Each DSP3-700 has space for 56 profiles and comes preloaded with 54 DSP presets optimized for Origin Acoustics’ speakers/subwoofers, assuring peak performance.

Startup

After the installation of the device is complete you will see the startup page on the display. If the amplifier is in Standby mode, press and hold the Standby button for a few seconds to exit the Standby Mode to the main page.

We have simplified set-up by limiting front panel adjustments to that of loading internal presets and setting channel levels. All other DSP adjustments require the use of the dedicated software program. To download the dedicated software program refer to the DSP3-700 section under the electronics tab at www.originacoustics.com.

In order to access the menu, press the dial. Rotate the dial to select either “Load Program,” “Change Volume” or “Exit Menu.”

Loading a DSP Preset

The DSP3-700 features a third channel to provide an easy way to control the lowend output of passive subwoofers. With a selection of preloaded DSP presets, to match every outdoor speaker in our arsenal, set-up is as easy as selecting the one that’s right for your design configuration. Or you can customize and store settings for each specific project should you choose. Independent settings can be assigned to each of the three channels, which can also independently drive 4Ω or 70V signals.

It is essential to configure before installing the system.

To change a program select the page “Load Program” and press the dial. The IP address and the name of the preset of the device will appear on the display.

Turn the dial to select your desired preset to match your Origin Acoustics Speakers. If you are not sure which preset to use, refer to the “Amplifier Preset” section of this manual. Once you have found the desired program number it will be blinking. Press the dial to select the desired program to load, at which time it will stop blinking. If the number is not blinking while selecting, the display will return to the “Load Program” menu and you will need to restart the process.

CAUTION! WARNING!

DO NOT INSTALL THIS SYSTEM UNTIL YOU HAVE SET UP YOUR DSP.

Adjusting the Volume

To change the volume, select the “Change Volume” page from the main page and press the dial to select.

Once selected the volume level will appear on the display. Use the dial to change the volume level (from -60dB to +12dB) and press the dial once again to confirm the volume level selection. The display will start with the Left Output, then to the Right Output, and lastly to the Sub Output. To return to the “Change Volume” page, press the dial again. To exit the menu, select “Exit Menu” and press the dial.

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.
