Safety requirements
To ensure proper use, please read through this manual before using the processor. It is
specially important that you know the CAUTIONS contained here.

- The installation of this product must be done by a qualified professional.

- Use the correct tools for installing this product.
- This product is for use with 12V batteries. Always check the voltage before installing.
- This product must be installed in a firm location and away from heat sources.
- Never install the product in places exposed to dust, humidity and water. Pay attention to
install it far from fuel tank, fuel lines, heat sources and other parts of vehicle.
- Be sure to install protection fuse or a circuit braker near to battery. Follow the ampere rating
as indicated here in this manual. Use of improper fuse or circuit breaker could result in
overheat, smoke, damage to product, injury or burns.
- Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect
any wires routed through car's body.
- Automotive sound systems may produce high sound pressure levels. Avoid continuous
exposure to levels over 85dB to prevent permanent hearing loss.

Key recommendations
The wire gauge for power supply connections is 1,5mm² (15 AWG) for positive and negative
wires, and 0,50mm² (20 AWG) for remote signal wire.
For protection against overload, install a fuse on positive wire, close to battery terminal (1A). See
page 12.
1 - Power supply negative: Connect to negative pole of battery.
2 - Remote signal input: Connect to remote signal output from head unit.
3 - Remote ouput: For connection in amplifiers
4 - Powe supply positive: Connect to positive pole (12V) of battery.

Safety
As you read this manual, pay attention to the safety symbols.
This symbol with “CAUTION” is intended to alert the user to the presence of
CAUTION important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions will result in risk of
injury to user or product damage.

Taramps reserves the right to modify the contents of this document at any time without prior notice and does

Signal Input
(A & B) Signal output ways 1 ~ 4

RCA signals input: Input for low level / high impedance (RCA) signals.
WIRE High Level Input: Input for high level / low impedance signals (from the speaker output
of the players or multimedia center).
It features function of automatic turn-on by the input signal, so it eliminates the use of the
REMOTE IN wire from the power connector when using this input.
Note: The system is designed for use in virtually all multimedia head units on the market.
However, on some head units , you may not get the trigger effect due to the type of audio
output circuit. In this case, use the REMOTE wire for triggering it normally.
Input clip indicator LED: It shows that the signal is reaching the maximum limit of the
processor input, which causes signal distortion. If it comes on, reduce the volume of the signal
source and readjust the system gains accordingly.
Limiter / clip LEDs: They have a dual function: They indicate that the signal from that output
has reached the maximum level (when the limiter is off ) or the actuation of the limiter (when
the signal reaches the threshold de ned in the limiter).
Power connector: See page 12.

check and adjust the parameters of each channel without leaving the desired option

Tip: To ne-tune a parameter or increment/decrement the number after the decimal point, rotate
the encoder slowly. E.g., in the signal level (dB) adjustments, the increment will be 0.1dB when
turning the encoder slowly, and 1dB when turning it more continuously and quickly.

Rotate the rotary encoder to set the delay amount to be applied.

The voice coils of each transducers isn't aligned inside the acoustic box, so there is some
delay that can degrade the perfect audio playing. The Delay feature apply different delay
amount for each output way, in order to get the perfect audio alignment.

How to set the delay parameter value (centimeter):

1 Set the reference coil (*) farthest from the box panel (in
our example, the reference was the center of the horn
coil)

2 Measure the other channels and find the measure A .
Set the closest measurement (in cm) for each channel.

channel selection can be done through the keys of
each channel).

Limiter parameters:
Modes: MANUAL = Manual Attack, Hold and Release adjustment; AUTO: Sets the Attack,

Threshold – Point when the limiter begins to act (indicated by the RED LED on each lane
turning on). To turn off the limiter, turn the encoder clockwise until [OFF] appears in the
threshold value.
Attack, or Attack time – Time needed to limiter reduce the gain after the signal reaches
the threshold.
Hold – Time that the limiter keeps the signal attenuated even after its level drops below
the threshold.
Release, or Release time – Time needed to limiter return to the original gain after the
signal drops below the threshold.
