The premium sound
upgrade for 24 Volts multi-channel factory systems
The new UP 10DSP – 24V Edition is a real
problem solver for upgrading sound systems in trucks and buses, especially
thanks to its 24 Volts capability. Even though more and more vehicles are
equipped with complex multi-channel sound systems ex works, the sound
quality does not always meet one's expectations.
In many cases, a replacement is no longer possible, so that only an
amplifier with a large number of highlevel inputs and sophisticated
technology can be considered for upgrading the system. And here the new UP
10DSP – 24V Edition offers the perfect solution.
Maximum connectivity
For optimal adaptation to existing
multi-channel sound systems, the UP 10DSP – 24V Edition is equipped with not
less than 8 highlevel inputs (two high power inputs with up to 32 Volts), an
optical digital input, a MATCH extension card slot, 10 amplifier outputs and
a total of 11 processed DSP channels.
In addition, intelligent technologies, such as the proprietary ADEP.3
circuit and 32 Bit ACO platform, ensure safe operation.
Virtual Channel Processing – that/s how signal
routing works today
The adaptation to
modern OE sound systems via an increasing number of inputs has a significant
impact on the complexity of the signal routing inside the amplifier.
Especially when several input signals are mixed together and then split
again into multi-way systems, conventional routing concepts quickly reach
their limits, both in terms of implementation and usability. Audiotec
Fischer's new multi-stage "Virtual
Channel Processing", in conjunction with the
recognized user-friendly DSP
PC-Tool software makes it easy to realize even
highly complex system configurations. Besides, it allows to freely assign
our proprietary FX
sound features such as "RealCenter" or "Augmented
Bass Processing". But the UP 10DSP – 24V Edition, thanks to its enormous
number of channels in combination with the optional MEC
ANALOG IN module, is also a prime example for
applications where 1 to 1 routing (IOR) makes sense.
Speed is everything – thanks to ACO
Such a huge number of channels requires
ultra-fast hardware – Audiotec Fischer's proprietary 32 Bit ACO platform
takes care of all control tasks and ensures the decisive speed increase,
especially for data communication with our DSP PC-Tool software but also for
the lightning-fast switching between up to ten sound setups. But ACO offers
much more – fantastic sound effects such as Augmented Bass Processing or
RealCenter are implemented as well as a channel-separated Input EQ including
the Input Signal Analyzer (ISA) for easy analysis and compensation of input
signals of OE radios.
Powerhouse in a compact format
Despite its huge output power of 8 x 65 Watts
at 4 Ohms and 2 x 90 / 160 Watts at 4 / 2 Ohms at the Sub Outs, as well as
the enormous feature set, the UP 10DSP – 24V Edition comes in an extremely
compact design, so that installation is possible even in confined spaces.

design with low heat dissipation thanks to extraordinary efficiency
Special features:
Class GD technology
Audiotec Fischer/s proprietary Class GD
concept takes the efficiency of conventional Class D amps to the next level.
By varying the internal supply voltage in several steps depending on the
amplifier’s input signals, idle losses are significantly reduced and overall
efficiency 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 – 24V Edition amplifier
incorporates an extraordinary powerful 32?Bit CoProcessor of the latest
generation for all monitoring and communication tasks, both internally and
externally. In opposite 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 significant advantage
is the integrated, native boot loader of the CoProcessor. It allows software
upgrades of all components of the DSP in order to adjust the
microcontroller-controlled ADEP.3 circuit for example at future
modifications?/ changes in the diagnostic system of factory radios or if the
device will be extended with additional interfaces. In addition, thanks to
the new flash memory, the ACO offers 10 memory locations for sound setups
instead of the common two.
Smart highlevel input ADEP.3
Modern, factory-installed car radios
incorporate sophisticated possibilities of diagnosing the connected
speakers. In particular the latest generation of car radios are equipped
with additional monitoring functions so that failure messages and loss of
specific features (e.g. fader function) quite often appear if a common
amplifier will be hooked up – but not with the UP?10DSP – 24V Edition.
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 – 24V Edition assures a constant internal supply voltage even if
the battery’s voltage drops to 12?Volts during engine crank. If the supply
voltage drops below 21?Volts for more than five seconds the amplifier 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 – 24V Edition allows
signal-controlled switching between the analog inputs and the digital input.
As soon as an input signal is detected on the Optical Input, the amplifier
automatically switches to this input. This feature can be deactivated in the
DSP PC-Tool software. Alternatively you can use an optional remote control
for manual switching between analog and digital inputs.
Power Save Mode
The Power Save Mode is incorporated in
the basic setup. It allows to significantly reduce the power consumption of
the UP?10DSP – 24V Edition and potentially connected amplifiers 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 internal 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 therefore the connected amplifiers will be turned off. The
MATCH UP?10DSP – 24V Edition will reactivate the remote output within a
second if a music signal is applied. It is possible to either modify the
turn-off time of 60 sec. or completely deactivate the “Power Save Mode” via
the DSP PC-Tool software.

RealCenter
The “RealCenter” feature is an algorithm,
developed by Audiotec Fischer, that emphasizes the music information which
is present in both the left and right front channel to create an unique
center signal. In contrast to common procedures, in which only the channels
are summed up, the intensity of the center signal is also dynamically
controlled by the stereophonic informational content of the left and right
channel.
Sounds complicated but this effect is astonishing: That means if solely the
left or right channel delivers an audio signal, the center channel will not
reproduce a signal. In the case of common algorithms, the volume level of
the center channel is only reduced by 6 dB (= half volume level). Audiotec
Fischer’s “RealCenter” allows a unique, broadened sound staging for both
driver and co-driver at the same time! Therefore, the disadvantages of a
conventional center channel, such as an intrusive, small sound stage, are
things of the past.
Augmented Bass Processing
Audiotec Fischer’s proprietary “Augmented Bass
Processing”, consisting of the two revolutionary sound features “Dynamic
Bass Enhancement” and “SubXpander”, has been especially developed to
dramatically improve the bass reproduction of subwoofers.
The “Dynamic Bass Enhancement” ingeniously combines maximum deep bass and
highest sound pressure – regardless of the music style or the tone controls
in the head unit. Depending on the input signal, the “Dynamic Bass
Enhancement” gains the lower frequency range and varies the cut-off
frequency of the subsonic filter. The result is a significantly more
powerful and deeper bass response at low and medium volume levels without
the risk of overloading the subwoofer neither mechanically nor electrically
at high volume levels. It is simply fascinating which bass performance is
suddenly possible.
If you want an even lower and “darker” bass reproduction, the “SubXpander”
can be additionally activated. Therefore, subharmonic tones are added to the
fundamental tones in the frequency range between 50 and 100 Hz.
StageXpander
Depending on the speaker arrangement in the
vehicle, a more or less wide stereo sound stage can be created on the front
seats. A center speaker may limit the spatial reproduction of the music
additionally. This is where Audiotec Fischer’s new “StageXpander” comes into
play – a sound feature which seems to break the acoustic limitations and
thus allows to create a way broader stereo base without negatively affecting
the precision of the localization of voices or instruments!
The effect can be adjusted according to your personal preferences in four
steps.
ClarityXpander
You are looking for more transparency and
substance in the treble reproduction? With the “ClarityXpander” Audiotec
Fischer is now offering the right tool. Properly adjusted (and therefore
selectable in three steps) the feature adds additional harmonics in the
upper frequency range – this is especially useful if the original speakers
lack some brilliance in the treble response. The extra treble-kick is not
only available for the two front channels but also separately adjustable for
the center channel. Even better – the center channel allows to activate an
automatic and dynamic control so that music with “loads” of treble doesn’t
fatigue your hearing.
