Overview
After you receive your Dayton Audio DSPB-ICP1, make a couple of quick connections, install SigmaStudio onto your Windows computer and you are ready to start customizing the sound of your Dayton Audio DSP amplifier or preamp! The included 6-pin jumper cable plugs directly into the programming board and the other end into the Dayton Audio DSP amplifier or preamp board. Get an even quicker start to SigmaStudio development by using one of our easy to use, preconfigured project files. Make advanced crossovers, filters, eq and more without any knowledge of inductors, capacitors or electronic design at all! Just drag and drop premade blocks, and enter parameters to suit your needs and get almost immediate results. There is no shortage of possibilities and projects that can be achieved with the DSPB product line when combined with the ICP1. Check out the user guide above for quick start guides, detailed instructions, and configuration possibilities.
The DSPB series of amplifiers all contain E2Prom memory, which is where custom DSP programs are stored on the device itself. This memory is programmed with the stock program from the factory, which allows control over various functions with the potentiometers. However, this memory can be reprogrammed at any time with custom programs developed with Analog Device's SigmaStudio tool and the Dayton Audio ICP1 programmer. Because this memory is on the amplifier itself, the ICP1 does not need to stay connected to the amplifier after programming, which allows one programmer to program many amplifiers. For more information, see the section of the manual titled "Writing to E2Prom–Burning custom SigmaStudio programs to non-volatile (non-temporary) memory".
Note: Make sure you have the switch set to USB mode (1) on the DSPB- ICP1 board when programming.
