Great Video. Very informative thanks. With regards to the FX tab and bass augmentation, does the auto boost frequency mode work by increasing the bass volume as the system volume is turned up? To compensate for bass roll off by the factory head unit at high volumes? I know the AudioControl AccuBass function works like that, and I suspect this is Audiotec Fischer's version of the same thing? I cannot find any info about it on the website, and I emailed them 2 weeks ago to ask. No answer........
Great videos. Thank you for helping us noobs with getting things set up properly. But im having some issues with my Match pp86 mk2 amp, the problem is i think with the IO settings, i can't get the C and D channels to play anything but the rear speakers, even if i only have one input on the IO page i still cant make the front mid's to play. I can get the tweeters in front to work fine on channels A, B. I have tried using channels E and F instead, but the speakers just won't play for me. I have a 8" mid and a tweeter in the front doors and stock speakers in the rear, and a match pp 10e-q sub. Any help would be nice because im about to go crazy figuring this out. Edit: I can´t seem to set the gain on the amp either, no matter what signal i play on a near max volume to set the input gain i get no clipping light, infact the clip light wont light up, not even green before it goes red to signal clipping like it did on the PP62 i had before. Thanks in advance.
Das Virtual channel processing ist dafür vorgesehen um die elektrischen signale der Quelle zu korrigieren. Das ist perfekt. Dann kann man in dem Outputmenu sich komplett auf die Lautsprecher konzentrieren , da man ein sauberes unverfälschtes Signal hat.
You can use it for that as well as the input signal analyser is kind of limited in a way. I am planning to use virtual channels for global EQ,such as changing house curves easily.
@RAW-CAt my Helix V Eight DSP MK2 does not have the 2nd to the last tab under the IO configuration called Digital Output Routing. I just set everything up last evening. Gotta say, the software is horrible to use with the scroll pad on a lap top. It constantly selects things and drags settings all over the place. The drop down menu for the Output labels won’t scroll with the laptop scroll pad. I would have used a mouse, but I would have had to use some kind of make shift table top in the vehicle and the USB I was using isn’t long enough to have the laptop outside of the vehicle. Was a huge pain in the ass to get set up. Some speakers wouldn’t output sound for no reason. Then after changing the output label and then back again, they would work. Have no idea why? I think if anyone wants to really tune car audio for a hobby they need to sit down with the installers at a shop and have them show what the software can do, because I have followed advice on forums and read the original manual and watched videos, and none of the issues I was having, have ever been covered.
Changing the output label automatically applies HPF and LPF to the driver. That might be the reason for no sound🤷 I personally use a laptop with a mouse pad with no issues .And to be honest, I never heard anyone complain about the software... Sorry your experience is different.
Hello!! Would you be so kind as to make a video adjusting the gains of the audio source and amplifiers using the helix pro mk3 dsp and using an active treble, midrange, low midrange and subwoofer system???? Thank you!!!!
Hello, hoping you can answer my beginner question on setting up my Helix. My input signal will only be via the Helix HD bluetooth module...streaming music from my cellphone. Do I need to still adjust volume to 90, adjust input gain, watch for clipping, for A-F at all in this scenario ? I know this is the analog method, but I am just not certain for bluetooth via the Helix manual. I'm feeling that I don't as bluetooth is a digital source?
Hi, I have a question: Let's say that I wanted to use the high-level inputs (with load jumper removed, so higher voltages), but also wanted an aux source for G+H cinch/RCA (in a different profile), would that be possible? What I'm curious about is if I were to set the remove the jumper on a device such as the helix ultra to enable higher voltage inputs to be used (12-32V), would that cause issues for G+H aux inputs as the gains will be different even if one were to set the aux to those channels in the DCM? Thanks
Great video, very helpful thank you. Do I still need to use my passive crossovers or can I use this to set up my channels and power my drivers directly?
So what if my input from PC is connected by Digital, but with a C-type USB port out to my Amps? Not using the built in Audio Chip on the Motherboard which would be analog. I see no option in the Digital Input Activation for that. C-type is really very popular these days. Coaxial on its way out.
Would you consider making a guide how to chack speakrs polarity with raw or other ways possibly..my speakers wires are not polarity marked and looking for the way to check without stripping everything down...thx
My settings seem to not stick after I restart the car (after disconnecting from laptop). Do you have any thoughts on what I may missing? I can always go back into the settings and find them but for some reason I have to keep doing this.
Make sure you are saving the settings in the correct preset and you are using that preset. Never have any issues with that. And never heard that anyone else did.
Hi good sir! When you setup the gain input sensitivity. Do you use 1k tone at 0db or the manual says pink noise? Are they referring to the mono pink noise in their test folder?
No, not really. However, you have input EQ for fixing the factory Signal. Aftermarket radios, BT, optical and coax have a flat not altered signal, so there is no need to have separate presents for different sources.
@@RAW-CAt Yeah I thought that too but still has difference sound from a diff source, theoretically it makes sense! One thing the Audison Forza can do now.
hey i wanna ask a question, what does atf dsp pc tool for? i got a computer with the app installed and i dont know if its important or not and its taking up my storage, do you mind telling?
The best teacher on the interwebs! Thank you!
Man.. I haven’t seen such a great video on youtube in a long time. Great job!
Excelent vídeo!! Wating the vídeo using the RTA of The Helix DSP tool. Thank you very much
This is simply awesome - thank you, just got a Mini Mk2 so extremely helpful
He’s only gone and done it!!!!! 🎉
Thank you for making this tutorial!
Thank you so much! I just can't wait for your RTA Auto-tune video :)

In my opinion I am left with way more questions than answers when it comes to Audiotec Fischers Knowledge base.
Thank you for this

It feels like that Virtual Channel Processing is pretty useless because RTA, Time Alignment and EQ is happening with Standard Processing.
The only use for virtual channels that I can think of is to make global EQ for example.if.you want to adjust your final response.

No, digital inputs do not clip unless you increase channel gain above 0dB.

As long as you don't use the same inputs for high level and low level, it will be fine.
I have the Matchup7 BMW from Helix. Does it not have the virtual channels?
Thanks !
I love these videos but do you have any for Alpine pxe 0850s
Yes:

Great video, very helpful thank you. Do I still need to use my passive crossovers or can I use this to set up my channels and power my drivers directly?
Ideally you would always want to run fully active. Given that you have enough amplification channels.
So for the monitor function on the helix v12 mk2 it's voltage displayed and temp
Would it be possible to send you a tune setup I have? Trying to understand how the outputs A-H match my tune screens
Omg thank you so much...im so terrified to touch my ultimate and this helps a lot!
Do u have cash app or venmo?
I have links to my patreon and PayPal in previous videos.
@@RAW-CAtsent and thanks again

You can use a usb C to SPDIF Toslink adapter in your amp
Would you consider making a guide how to chack speakrs polarity with raw or other ways possibly..my speakers wires are not polarity marked and looking for the way to check without stripping everything down...thx
Yes, you can to that with Holm impulse.
@@RAW-CAt will have a go..thx
Are the virtual channels turned on by default on the PC tool version 5.05.01? I don’t see an option to enable them.
When you initially connect to the DSP you are given an option to enable them.
I didn’t see that option when I first connected my Mini dsp mk2 but the FX tab is available, does that mean virtual channels are on?
My settings seem to not stick after I restart the car (after disconnecting from laptop). Do you have any thoughts on what I may missing? I can always go back into the settings and find them but for some reason I have to keep doing this.
Make sure you are saving the settings in the correct preset and you are using that preset. Never have any issues with that. And never heard that anyone else did.
Can you activate the virtual channels using high level inputs only? Or do you need a digital input to enable them?
Virtual channels can be routed with any input
I saw something about a tuning guide from you on the DIY audio guy channel. Where is the link to that guide?

Thank you so much. I just ordered a Helix dsp 3 so this will be a great help.
There are multiple dsp from Helix, how do I determine which one is best for me?
Just choose depending on how many channels you need. That is the main difference between them.
Hi good sir! When you setup the gain input sensitivity. Do you use 1k tone at 0db or the manual says pink noise? Are they referring to the mono pink noise in their test folder?
I do not setup my gains at all, I just leave them all the way down. But if you need to do that, use a sine tone, not pink noise.
@@RAW-CAt thank you
Is there any chance you can provide me a file with settings for a matchup 8 dsp? Like tuned for my car, ofcourse i can pay for that
Pop an email to rawcaraudiotuning@gmail.com with all the details.
i made a loopback cable same to same but confusion is RCA SINGLE PUTTING OR BOTH PLUG PUT IN DSP PLZ EXPLANED ME THANKS
If you use only one RCA, you will need to do a lot of re routing in the DSP. Two RCAs make it simpler.
@@RAW-CAt ok thanks
Do a video on the dsr1
Why should I?
Thanks. Can you auto assign a tune based on port. So if I use hd Bluetooth card can it auto change to the tune for that config ?
No, not really. However, you have input EQ for fixing the factory Signal. Aftermarket radios, BT, optical and coax have a flat not altered signal, so there is no need to have separate presents for different sources.
@@RAW-CAt Yeah I thought that too but still has difference sound from a diff source, theoretically it makes sense! One thing the Audison Forza can do now.

Helix DSP PC tool is a program that you use to control and make adjustments on a Helix or Match DSP.
@@RAW-CAt and what does the helix/match dsp used for? Is it for the computer?
@@MaikoKid No, it is used to tune an aftermarket car audio system.
Hello! Why doesn't the video have subtitles? thank you
Maybe RUclips needs some time to process the video. Try watching it tomorrow.
@@RAW-CAt Thanks!!! your videos are great!!
So thats why i could not make FX work for a sub...😂 The virtual channels...😅😅😅
