Product Overview

The Match UP 6DSP is a 6-channel plug-and-play amplifier from the Match UPGRADE range, engineered as the ideal solution for upgrading standard factory sound systems with up to 6 channels. The UP 6DSP delivers power and dynamics for authentic hi-fi sound from an ultra-compact 46 x 130 x 130mm housing using Class GD (Pure GD Ultra HD) technology, which dynamically controls the internal supply voltage to achieve extraordinary efficiency and very low heat dissipation. Channels A-D deliver 4 x 65W RMS at 4Ω (minimum 3Ω) for full-range speaker channels, while channels E-F deliver 2 x 90W RMS at 4Ω and 2 x 160W RMS at 2Ω for subwoofer applications.

The 6 high-level inputs with ADEP.3 Gen 3 circuitry (2.8-11V sensitivity, 9-33Ω with ADEP.3) provide seamless plug-and-play connection to OEM factory head units and standard sound systems. Optional cable harnesses (sold separately) simplify integration into specific factory audio configurations. The optical SPDIF input accepts 12-96kHz signals. The MEC slot accepts optional Bluetooth HD streaming and USB high-resolution audio streaming expansion cards. The 1:1 IOR (Input-to-Output Routing) directly maps the same number of high-level inputs to amplifier output channels, making the UP 6DSP ideal for 1:1 channel replacement applications. The galvanically isolated mono RCA output provides 3V for connecting an external subwoofer amplifier.

The integrated 7-channel DSP runs on a 64-bit fixed-point audio signal processor at 295 MHz (1.2 billion MAC operations per second) with BurrBrown A/D and D/A converters, 48kHz sampling rate, SNR of 106dB from digital input and 104dB from analog input, and THD below 0.03%. The ACO 32-bit CoProcessor handles ISA with InputEQ, TuneEQ automated EQ calibration, VCP cross-channel group equalizers, RealCenter, Augmented Bass Processing, DLC (Dynamic Loudness Control), and RTC (Remote Tone Control). Operating voltage is 10.5-18V (extended range for modern EV vehicles) with Start-Stop capability stable to 6V. Fused at 1 x 30A LP-Mini (APS).

Features & Benefits

Class GD Technology - Pure GD Ultra HD - Extraordinary Efficiency and Low Heat Dissipation: Class GD dynamically controls the internal supply voltage in response to the amplifier's input signal, combining dynamically modulated supply rail efficiency with a high-performance output stage design, resulting in extraordinary efficiency and very low heat dissipation from a compact housing.

6-Channel Output - 4 x 65W RMS at 4Ω Plus 2 x 160W RMS Subwoofer Channels at 2Ω: Channels A-D deliver 4 x 65W RMS at 4Ω for full-range speaker channels, while channels E-F deliver 2 x 90W RMS at 4Ω and 2 x 160W RMS at 2Ω for driving subwoofers, covering a complete multi-channel speaker system from a single amplifier unit.

7-Channel Integrated DSP - 64-Bit Fixed-Point at 295 MHz: The 7-channel DSP delivers 64-bit fixed-point audio processing at 295 MHz (1.2 billion MAC operations per second) for complex multi-channel equalisation, crossover, time alignment, and sound effect processing with exceptional precision.

6 High-Level ADEP.3 Inputs for Seamless OEM Integration: The 6 high-level ADEP.3 inputs (2.8-11V) interface correctly with advanced OEM head unit speaker load detection systems, ensuring plug-and-play connection to factory audio systems without triggering error messages or loss of factory features.

1:1 IOR - Direct Input-to-Output Channel Routing: With the same number of high-level inputs as amplifier output channels, the UP 6DSP provides 1:1 Input-to-Output Routing, directly mapping each factory speaker channel to its corresponding amplifier output for simple, logical system configuration.

ACO 32-Bit CoProcessor - ISA, TuneEQ, VCP, DLC, RTC, and SFX: The ACO platform provides ISA (Input Signal Analyzer) with InputEQ for OEM signal analysis and correction, TuneEQ automated parametric EQ calibration, VCP cross-channel group equalizers, RealCenter dynamic center image synthesis, Augmented Bass Processing (Dynamic Bass Enhancement and SubXpander), DLC for volume-dependent frequency adjustment, and RTC for remote tone control.

VCP - Virtual Channel Processing for Complex System Configurations: VCP enables cross-channel group equalizers affecting multiple output channels simultaneously and multi-way speaker configuration with DSP Sound Effects, providing maximum flexibility when splitting front, rear, and center systems into multi-way configurations.

MEC Slot - Modular Expandability: The MATCH Extension Card slot accepts optional Bluetooth HD audio streaming and high-resolution USB audio streaming expansion modules for tailored system configuration.

Galvanically Isolated Mono RCA Output: The galvanically isolated mono RCA output provides 3V for connecting an external subwoofer amplifier with galvanic isolation to prevent ground loop noise.

Extended Operating Voltage to 18V - EV Compatible: The extended operating voltage range of 10.5-18V with Start-Stop capability to 6V ensures the UP 6DSP operates reliably in modern vehicles including electric vehicles and mild hybrid platforms with higher electrical system voltages.

Auto Remote Switch and Start-Stop Capability: The Auto Remote function activates the amplifier from the audio signal without requiring an external remote wire. Start-Stop capability maintains stable operation during voltage drops to 6V for up to 5 seconds.

SCP Smart Control Port: Connects optional accessories including Match DIRECTOR and CONDUCTOR remote control interfaces.

Ultra-Compact Square Design - 46 x 130 x 130mm: The compact square form factor suits installation in tight locations under seats, in factory amplifier locations, and in OEM-style mounting positions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the UP 6DSP and the UP 8DSP?

Both are Class GD plug-and-play OEM integration amplifiers from Match with the same ADEP.3, ACO, MEC, and SCP architecture. The UP 6DSP provides 6 amplifier channels with a 7-channel DSP, 1:1 IOR natively, and an extended operating voltage to 18V for EV compatibility, in a 130 x 130mm square footprint. The UP 8DSP provides 8 amplifier channels with a 9-channel DSP in a 130 x 153mm footprint with a 17V upper operating limit. Choose the UP 6DSP for 6-channel standard sound system upgrades and EV platform compatibility; choose the UP 8DSP for 8-channel multi-channel factory system upgrades.

Does the UP 6DSP have RCA inputs?

No. The UP 6DSP uses high-level inputs only for signal input. Signal is accepted via the 6 high-level ADEP.3 inputs, optical SPDIF input, or MEC expansion card. A galvanically isolated mono RCA output is provided for connecting an external subwoofer amplifier.

What is 1:1 IOR on the UP 6DSP?

1:1 IOR (Input-to-Output Routing) means the UP 6DSP has the same number of high-level inputs (6) as amplifier output channels (6), allowing each factory speaker channel to be directly mapped to its corresponding amplifier output channel for straightforward, logical system configuration without complex signal routing.

Is the UP 6DSP compatible with EV and mild hybrid vehicles?

Yes. The extended operating voltage range of 10.5-18V with Start-Stop capability to 6V ensures reliable operation in modern electric vehicles and mild hybrid platforms with higher electrical system voltages.

What DSP PC-Tool version does the UP 6DSP use?

The UP 6DSP is configured via DSP PC-Tool 5 software.
