Chapter 1: Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a ne
AudioControl product. You have chosen
wisely. We hope that it will give you many
years of super audio enjoyment and larks.
When you require total control and opti-
mization to achieve great sound quality,
AudioControl’s DM-608 and DM-810 digital
signal processors are the ideal solution.
These powerful processors allow you to truly
optimize the performance of your audio sys-
tem, regardless of whether you are using a
factory or aftermarket source, and to achieve
the goal of “Making Good Sound Great.”
These processors are equipped with key
features, such as active speaker-level inputs,
line-level and digital audio inputs, providing
up to 10 channels of output for the DM-810,
and 8 channels for the DM-608.
Connect your laptop using our smart user
Interface, which is a fully-featured matrix
DSP interface designed to give you instant
and clear control over every aspect of your
processor.
Route any input to any output, congure
signal summing, adjust input and output
gain, delay phase correction and polarity,
FEATURES
• Smart User Interface software included
• Input and Output RTA for precise and
informed tuning
• GTO™ Signal Sensing (ch 1-2)
• MILC™ Clip Detection (ch 1-2)
• AccuBASS®
• Signal Summing
• Signal Delay
• 12 and 24 dB/octave crossovers
• 30 band equalizer
• Optional ACR-3 remote for preset recall
and level control
• Optional Bluetooth interface
• Bulletproof 5 year warranty (when
installed by an authorized AudioControl
dealer)
• Engineered, designed, and manufac-
tured in our leafy, shaded and secluded
audio-goodness technodrome in beauti-
ful Mountlake Terrace, WA.
then precisely tune the processor using a 30
band EQ. High-pass, low-pass and band-pass
can be set up for any output using 12 or 24
dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley crossovers.
For OEM integration, take advantage of the
input and output Real Time Analyzers (RTA),
available for every input and output, to
easily identify and sum factory speaker-level
signals.
The processors also include AudioControl’s
proprietary features such as AccuBASS®,
GTO™ Signal Sense, and MILC™.
The built-in Option Port is our nod to the
future of car audio and will allow hi-res
streaming directly into the DSP. It also
opens up future proprietary connections for
additional inputs, controllers and interface
solutions. Watch our website www.audio-
control.com for future Option Port expan-
sion options.

Installation Manual
Quick Start
Before you start, please take a moment to visit our knowledge base:
www.audiocontrol.com/knowledge-base. It will help you with a
plethora of sound advice, and help set the mood for the installation.
1. The following details give a brief overview of the steps required
to install the DM-608/DM-810 in your system. The steps below
are explained in more detail throughout this manual.
2. Undo the +12V and Ground connections to the car battery
before making any connections to the DM-608/DM-810.
3. When making connections, designate red RCA plugs as right,
and designate white, black, or grey plugs as left.
4. Use quality interconnect cables. We know from experience that
really cheap cables can cause a multitude of problems.
5. Connect the +12V input terminal of the unit to the +12V termi-
nal of the vehicle battery.
6. Connect the Ground terminal of the unit to the negative termi-
nal of the vehicle battery.
7. Connect the remote power terminal of the unit to the remote
turn-on switch of your source unit. Alternatively, you can skip
this connection and use the GTO Signal sensing on inputs 1-2.
8. Connect your audio inputs to the unit – either speaker-level or
line-level RCA.
9. Run the optional ACR-3 remote to the front of the vehicle to
adjust the level on the y.
10. Note that the following setting up is carefully done with the
ampliers turned o (or not connected), to help prevent tweeter
damage (for example) during the DM-608/DM-810 setup.
11. When you are satised that all is looking good and correct,
reconnect the vehicle battery. Make sure the ampliers are o.
12. Install the control application onto your computer, but make
sure that the computer is not connected to the unit during the
installation.
13. Connect the computer to the unit using the USB micro connec-
tion, and run the application. The unit will be recognized and
you can enter an initial password (1234) that you can customize
later.
14. Use the application to adjust every aspect of the
DM-608/DM-810 operation until you have the system just right.
Set up the remote control to adjust the levels you want.
15. With the computer removed, the DM-608/DM-810 will now
operate just as you have it set up.
16. Turn o the power, and run the line-level outputs to the line-lev-
el inputs of your various ampliers. Connect your loudspeakers
to your ampliers.
17. Turn on the system and play the source at minimum volume to
begin with, then bring up the levels with the ACR-3.
18. Enjoy the drive!

Power Connections
In this example, the head unit has a +12V
trigger output that is connected to the
DM-608/DM-810 remote input terminal.
When the head unit is turned on, it will
turn on the DM-608/DM-810.
The Remote Out connection of the
DM-608/DM-810 may be used to
daisy-chain to further units or ampliers
and turn them on as well.
Alternatively, the GTO signal sense
feature can be used to gently turn on the
DM-608/DM-810 when an audio input
signal is detected at inputs 1-2. (Then
the connection to the DM-608/DM-810’s
remote input terminal is not required.)
An in-line fuseholder with a 3A fuse is
tted in the +12V line.
