Unique Features of the UP 10DSP
Class GD technology
Audiotec Fischer´s proprietary Class GD concept
takes the e󰀩ciency of conventional Class D amps
to the next level. By varying the internal supply volt-
age in several steps depending on the amplier’s
input signals, idle losses are signicantly reduced
and overall e󰀩ciency is close to maximum at any
time. So heat dissipation is almost negligible, thus
allowing smallest heat sinks and most compact
form factors.
ACO – Advanced 32 Bit CoProcessor
The MATCH UP 10DSP amplier incorporates an
extraordinary powerful 32 Bit CoProcessor of the
latest generation for all monitoring and communi-
cation tasks, both internally and externally. In oppo-
site to the 8 Bit predecessor generation this MCU
achieves way higher speeds with respect to setup
switching and data communication with our DSP
PC-Tool software. A further signicant advantage
is the integrated, native boot loader of the CoPro-
cessor. It allows software upgrades of all compo-
nents of the DSP in order to adjust the microcontrol-
ler-controlled ADEP.3 circuit for example at future
modications / changes in the diagnostic system of
factory radios or if the device will be extended with
additional interfaces. In addition, thanks to the new
ash memory, the ACO o󰀨ers 10 memory locations
for sound setups instead of the common two.
Smart highlevel input ADEP.3
Modern, factory-installed car radios incorporate so-
phisticated possibilities of diagnosing the connect-
ed speakers. In particular the latest generation of
car radios are equipped with additional monitoring
functions so that failure messages and loss of spe-
cic features (e.g. fader function) quite often appear
if a common amplier will be hooked up - but not
with the UP 10DSP.
The new ADEP.3 circuit (Advanced Diagnostics
Error Protection, 3rd Generation) avoids all these
problems without loading the speaker outputs of the
OE radio during high volumes unnecessarily.
Start-Stop capability
The switched power supply of the MATCH
UP 10DSP assures a constant internal supply volt-
age even if the battery’s voltage drops to 6 Volts
during engine crank. If the supply voltage drops be-
low 10.5 Volts for more than ve seconds the am-
plier goes to “Protect mode” (Status LED lights up
red) in order to avoid any further discharge of the
car’s battery.
Automatic Digital Signal Detection
The UP 10DSP allows signal-controlled switching
between the analog inputs and the digital input. As
son as an input signal is detected on the Optical
Input, the amplier automatically switches to this
input. This feature can be deactivated in the DSP
PC-Tool software. Alternatively you can use an op-
tional remote control for manual switching between
analog and digital inputs.
Power Save Mode
The Power Save Mode is incorporated in the ba-
sic setup. It allows to signicantly reduce the pow-
er consumption of the UP 10DSP and potentially
connected ampliers once there’s no input signal
present for more than 60 seconds. Please note that
in many up-to-date cars with “CAN” or any other in-
ternal bus structures it may happen that the radio
remains “invisibly” turned on for up to 45 min. even
after locking and leaving the car! Once the “Power
Save Mode“ is active the remote output and there-
fore the connected ampliers will be turned o󰀨. The
MATCH UP 10DSP will reactivate the remote output
within a second if a music signal is applied. It is pos-
sible to either modify the turn-o󰀨 time of 60 sec. or
completely deactivate the “Power Save Mode” via
the DSP PC-Tool software.
