I have a 2018 mustang convertible 9 speaker setup no Subwoofer factory amp. I have the dsr1+wiring harness, I'm replacing the factory amp will I have all my factory speaker working with this device?
You will need a amplifier or amplifiers that’s got enough channels to amplify all the speakers. The DSR1 is only a DSP(digital signal processor) it is not a amplifier. it will only process and spit out a signal to the aftermarket amplifiers that provide sound to your speakers.
Could you use this with an aftermarket unit? I plan on using this for my 2013 Chrysler 300 with the 8.4 uconnect system, but later on, using the Metra dash kit and installing a Pioneer DMH-C5500NEX.
Dark Knight id use both depending on the model Ford your using. If it’s a Sony equipped F-150 for example I’d use the amp pro to get a flat 5v out signal and then go into the DSR-1 to handle all the crossover points, EQ, slope, time alignment, and signal matching then go to my amplifiers
Hello there. Is there any way to do specific input channel routing? can't find it anywhere. per say, Channel one input routed to ch 2 and 3 only, channel two to input to output 3 + 4 only. etc. Thanks
I need some guidance. I have a 2020 Ram 1500, 12 inch screen, Alpine Premium Audio System 10 speakers (three instrument panel speakers, two front door speakers, two rear door speakers, two headliner speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer located behind the passenger-side rear seat). The interior is setup for 19 speakers. Keeping the radio is a must. Where do I begin with the upgrade?
Dashaun Huston I’d look to see if pac makes a aamp pro module for that particular model ram then go from the aamp pro module to a dsp like the dsr1 or others (helix, JL twek, Audison etc) then to your aftermarket amplifiers.
Markland Designs Of Atlanta what about upgrading the factory speakers and adding the other 9? What are your thoughts on that? Or would suggest 1 mod at a time and if I need more then do more?
Dashaun Huston is definitely recommended changing and replacing the speaker at the same time your added a dsp and amplifiers. The factory speakers will definitely be the weak link in the system at that point.
Markland Designs Of Atlanta This is what is going through my mind: 1. Replace the existing 9 speakers and add the missing 9. If that doesn’t satisfy me, go to step 2. 2. Add a DSP like DSR1. If that doesn’t satisfy me, go to step 3. 3. Replace the AMP. If that doesn’t satisfy me go to step 4. 4. Add subwoofer. I believe in incremental improvements, so forgive me. What are your thoughts?
Dashaun Huston that’s not a bad step to take. Just know that a lot of aftermarket speakers take more power then the factory speakers so the overall volume level might not be as high as the factory speakers but clarity and detail will definitely be improved over factory.
Do you know if there is an input gain. I am considering using this in my vehicle using a 5 channel amplifier and an aftermarket Pioneer 2330nex and the output voltage of the RCA is 4v. Just want to find out if there is a way to make sure. Thanks.
Derrick Hamilton it doesn’t have input gain but it does have output for each individual channel going out of the unit. But at 4v going out from your pioneer in most cases that more the Sufficient.
Derrick Hamilton I’m not sure if a desktops/laptop Bluetooth support will or has been added. From my knowledge it’s only on the App Store/google play store
I have a question for you I lost power to my car and it seems as the unit has reset itself or does the setting stay in And how do you go back in and bring up the settings that you made
It depends on the particulars cars audio system. Some premium sounds systems use (low level) signal and some use speaker level (hi-level) if your not sure if look on the idatalink website and see if they sell a vehicle specific T harness for your application.
keron jeremiah it only allows 4 channels of input. You can run front and rear in and use your radios subwoofer out and internal crossover to control the sub but that’s about it. Unless they come out with a software update that allows the aux input to be used as a 5th and 6th channel input
Not enough channels for some systems . Imagine 3 way components up front l/r . Add 2 way components in back l/r Now add subwoofer channel . You need at least 11 channels to do this to have a full active crossover system . Vital as far as I'm concerned when you've got component midrange and tweeters all over the place instead of nice and neat right next to each other . Is it possible to have two of these ? 12 channel dsp are hard to find from any mfg .
You could do 2 of these but for the price point of the DSR1 you aren’t t going to find any DSP with that many channels. A all in one option would be something like the Helix V-Twelve DSP amplifier combo.
i would recomend against buying this its just a headache of a unit to work with the app is a pain, you can only ajust it with your phone or tablet you cant use a laptop which means you rely on the bluetooth and its laggy you make an ajustment and you cant tell if it made a difference because of how slow it is and it just acts like it has a mind of its own
I’ve installed quit a few with no issues, it’s real time adjustments. I’m sorry you have had a bad experience with the DSR1. Besides the Bluetooth being it’s way of connectivity what issues did you actually have? For the price point it gives you a ton of options and when tested on my RTA all of the adjustments were quick and accurate.
@@MarklandDesignsOfAtlanta the main issue im having is it just seems laggy when i make an ajustment on the basic eq sometimes i will hear it do it instantly then sometimes it wont do anything and then a few seconds later finally ill hear it change guess its possible im not close enough to the unit but its just behind my rear seats in my truck so idk thats really the main issue im having how can i tune it when i cant hear the ajustments im making also have a question about presets that parts a little confusing do you create a preset then go do your ajustments and then synch it to save it? thanks for your time theres really not much info on these
Nick 636n8r have you done the most recent update from the maestro website? You could possible just have a defective unit, have you tried swapping it out with a new unit?
@@MarklandDesignsOfAtlanta yea when i first got it went through that whole process which kinda sucked also but ill verify just to be sure tomorrow but it should be up to date im going to give it another shot tomorrow and if not ill probably return it and just go for a lc7i or somethin kinda sucks i was really digging this thing
NICE REVIEW... KEEP'EM COMING... LIKE THE WAY YOU SHOWED THE ACTUAL SETUP OPTIONS, INSTEAD OF JUST TALKING ABOUT THEM...
This is the best video out there on this and answered many of my questions. Thanks brother 👌
great video, great detail. have you also tried the ax-dsp? if so, how does it compare?
Great video , answered my questions
Thank you! Great video!
awesome vid, you got a new sub here keep them coming 👍
Thank you for this video.
Great Video! Can you set the sub channels to "All pass" ? I need 8 channels and not necessarily sub channel.

That's for the vid. Very helpful.
Great video! So if the DSR1 doesn't have a true sub input, does it sum the sub signal from the front or rear inputs? Thanks
Thanks, the DSR-1 only has front, rear, aux, and spdif inputs so yes the sub channels output is created inside of the processor.
@@MarklandDesignsOfAtlanta Awesome - thanks!
Good info. Will this work on 2013 Hyundai Elantra? Thx man. Imma follower now.
Matthew Hamilton yes it will work in an Elantra

southnyourmind yes you can can use with with a factory radio or aftermarket radio as well.
Great job. All said DSR1 or Amp Pro AP4-FD21.

Djmambo77 the routing unfortunately is pre-set
Do have an in depth video of the eq and crossover of dsr1?

Thank you. I appreciate it. I thought of something after. Can you only manage settings on device or laptop as well?
Derrick Hamilton I’m not sure if a desktops/laptop Bluetooth support will or has been added. From my knowledge it’s only on the App Store/google play store
@@MarklandDesignsOfAtlanta
OK that's cool, hey thanks man I really appreciate it.
Derrick Hamilton you are more then welcome
Can you Bluetooth audio to the dsp or is it just for tuning?
Only for tuning unfortunately
I have a question for you I lost power to my car and it seems as the unit has reset itself or does the setting stay in And how do you go back in and bring up the settings that you made
era1fx the settings should still be on the unit even if power is lost. Did you save your tune? You should be able to log back in and see your setting.
Thanks He said he didn't save on his would it beon my phone as I have the app on my phone
era1fx has he opened the app and trying seeing what’s stored on the DSR1?
Are you still in the Atlanta area
Using the dsr1 off factory radio it should be on hi level? For the switch
It depends on the particulars cars audio system. Some premium sounds systems use (low level) signal and some use speaker level (hi-level) if your not sure if look on the idatalink website and see if they sell a vehicle specific T harness for your application.
Is there a way to use 6ch input (front LR rear LR sub LR) i got an after market radio i still want to use my sub output
