Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the MATCH M 5.4DSP different from standard 5-channel amplifiers?

The M 5.4DSP combines ultra-compact smartphone-sized design with professional 64-bit DSP processing and dual power modes. Unlike standard amplifiers, it includes advanced features like Input Signal Analyzer, Augmented Bass Processing, and Virtual Channel Processing for complex system configurations impossible with conventional amplifiers.

Can I install this amplifier using my factory head unit without additional power wiring?

Yes, the MidPower mode enables plug & play installation using factory high-level inputs with the ADEP.3 circuit. This provides 4 x 35W RMS + 90W subwoofer output without requiring separate power supply, perfect for factory integration while maintaining Start-Stop compatibility.

How does the 9-channel DSP work with only 5 physical amplifier channels?

The Virtual Channel Processing (VCP) system allows the 64-bit DSP to process up to 9 independent channels internally, then mix them down to the 5 physical outputs. This enables complex routing like front/rear/center/subwoofer processing with separate EQ and time alignment for each virtual channel.

What's included for connecting subwoofers and additional amplifiers?

The package includes PP-SOC subwoofer connection cable for MATCH Plug & Play subs, Line Output-to-RCA cable for connecting additional amplifiers, and PP-IOC connection cable. The 4x RCA outputs provide 3V signal for driving multiple additional amplifiers in complex systems.

Does this amplifier work with modern Start-Stop vehicles and steering wheel controls?

Yes, the M 5.4DSP features Start-Stop capability operating down to 6V supply voltage and Auto Remote switching. The ADEP.3 high-level input circuit maintains full compatibility with factory steering wheel controls, navigation systems, and all modern vehicle electronics.
