aux input switch the switch selects the aux or line inputs.  
LED level display these rows of LEDs display the Preamp Output Levels. Left  
and right channels are displayed independently at peak levels.  
power indicator LED this LED is illuminated when the unit is properly powered,  
grounded and the remote power has been turned on.  
fader control • in a 2 Amplifier, 4 Speaker system, rotating the knob to the  
FRONT side increases the level of the front speakers; rotating  
to the REAR side increase level of the rear speakers. At mid  
position, both sets of speakers are at maximum level.  
• in a 2 Speaker system, the fader control should be rotated  
to the position which provides highest levels for both sets of  
speakers.  
volume control allows adjustment of sound level for particular program material  
or source.  
defeat switch when the “DEF” switch is in the position, the equalizer functions  
are bypassed. Depressing the “DEF” switch again will restore  
the equalizers operation.  
equalizer controls this seven-band equalizer gives you control over the output  
levels at various frequencies.  
subwoofer frequency control lets you adjust the subwoofer frequency and crossover point  
from 40-400 Hz.  
subwoofer boost control lets you adjust the subwoofer boost level from a 0 to +18 dB  
increase.  
power connections connect to power source as follows:  
+12V: Connect a red wire of at least 12 gauge to the car  
battery or other power source.  
GROUND: Connect a black wire of at least 12 gauge to car  
chassis for ground connection  
REMOTE: Connect an orange wire to remote activating (12V  
DC) wire of car stereo or other head unit.  
subwoofer/rear/front RCA cables are used to connect the subwoofer channel outputs  
channel outputs to the subwoofer channel amplifier inputs, the rear channel  
outputs to the rear channel amplifier inputs, and the front  
channel outputs to the front channel amplifier inputs.  
line and auxiliary inputs RCA cables are used to connect your car stereo head unit, CD  
player, or other source to either the line or aux inputs.

input gain adjustments allows you to adjust the left and right channel input sensitivity to  
match the output level from your line or auxiliary source.  
equalizer frequency controls these switches determine the frequencies the equalizer control  
knobs on the front panel will affect. Setting a switch on one of the  
5 bands on top of the equalizer permits the corresponding control  
on the front panel to boost or cut the level.  
aux input switch the switch selects the aux or line inputs.  
LED level display these rows of LEDs display the Preamp Output Levels. Left and right  
channels are displayed independently at peak levels.

equalizer controls this seven-band equalizer gives you control over boost or cut at the  
frequencies selected by the corresponding center frequency switches  
on top of the unit.  
subwoofer frequency control lets you adjust the subwoofer frequency and crossover point from  
40-400 Hz.  
subwoofer boost control lets you adjust the subwoofer boost level from a 0 to +18 dB  
increase.  
power connections connect to power source as follows:  
+12V: Connect a red wire of at least 12 gauge to the car battery  
or other power source.  
GROUND: Connect a black wire of at least 12 gauge to car chassis  
for ground connection  
REMOTE: Connect an orange wire to remote activating (12V DC)  
wire of car stereo or other head unit.  
subwoofer/rear/front RCA cables are used to connect the subwoofer channel outputs to  
channel outputs the subwoofer channel amplifier inputs, the rear channel outputs  
to the rear channel amplifier inputs, and the front channel outputs  
to the front channel amplifier inputs.  
line and auxiliary inputs RCA cables are used to connect your car stereo head unit, CD  
player, or other source to either the line or aux inputs.

Please take the time to install your  
new Pyle Signal Processor  
securely, according to this  
diagram, using the hardware  
provided.

Mounting Bracket  
This Half-DIN size unit can also  
be installed in the dash adjacent  
to the head unit, provided that  
there is a slot available.

wiring tips  
When making electrical  
4 mm plain  
washer (2)  
connections to your amplifier,  
please observe the following:  
Connect 12V DC from a constant battery source to a +12V slip-on spade terminal and install  
a one (1) amp fuse in line.  
Connect the signal processors GROUND to a good chassis ground, near where the unit is  
mounted, or to the case of the head unit.  
Connect the signal processors REMOTE TURN-ON lead to the remote turn-on lead out of  
the head unit, and install a 1/2 amp fuse in line. (A relay should be used if turning on more  
than one component, such as EQs, crossovers or amplifiers.)  
Connect stereo RCA cables from the heads left and right front outputs to the left and right  
inputs of the signal processor.  
Connect stereo RCA cables from the left and right outputs, (and low, mid and high outputs  
if applicable), of the signal processor to the left and right inputs of your amplifier(s) or  
additional signal processor(s).  
Turn the unit on, and adjust the input gain on the signal processor to match the output of  
the head unit (1/2, or at center position, is about 1 V). Be careful not to overdrive the input  
of your amplifier(s) or signal processor(s).  
Adjust each of the crossover or equalizer controls to achieve the desired sound characteristics.
