Selecting the “Config” tab a drop-down menu shows up listing the entries as shown in the image to the right of this page:
1. I/O Configuration Wizard:
it provides the ability to perform a new auto-setup, providing the bit One HD Virtuoso with the conditions required to run this operation (see section 7.2).
2. Input Configuration Wizard:
this function allows for the calibration of the bit One HD Virtuoso inputs only, without modifying the outputs configuration (see section 7.2).
3. Output Configuration Wizard.
this function allows you to perform a new configuration of the bit One HD Virtuoso outputs, without modifying the configuration of the inputs made previously (see section 7.2.2.9).
4. AC Link Configuration Wizard:
this function allows to activate or deactivate the AC LINK outputs, once the setup is completed by interacting on the "Outputs Channel Configuration". Below is a description of how to proceed, remembering to set the volume of the processor to -60dB.
1. Disable the AC LINK outputs.
- Deselect the AC LINK outputs you do not want to use from the Channel Map, then press OK.
- Finalize the Product using the "Finalize to bit One HD Virtuoso" function.
2. Enable AC LINK outputs.
- Select the AC LINK outputs you want to use from the Channel Map, then press OK.
- Finalize the Product using the "Finalize to bit One HD Virtuoso" function.
- Close the PC software, turn off and restart the audio system.
- Configure your amplifiers equipped with an AC LINK interface, based on the digital channels assigned. To complete the setup of the amplifiers equipped with AC LINK input, it is essential that the DRC MP is connected to the bit One HD Virtuoso.
- Open the PC software and proceed with the setup of the audio system.
5. Auxiliary Inputs:
it provides the ability to enable or disable auxiliary sources which have been or have not been selected while performing the setup (see section 7.2.1), without repeating the calibration procedure.
6. Auto Input Switch
◼︎ OPTICAL AUDIO SWITCH. By activating this function it is possible to automatically select one of the two optical inputs available in the Virtuoso, provided there is an audio signal.
A. Optical Audio Detect.: through this function it is possible to automatically activate the Optical 1 or Optical 2 input if an audio signal is present. In the event that the Optical 1 input is used as "Master Input Optical", this will not be available for this function.
B. Current Source to Optical: Current Source to Optical: to set the activation time of the Optical input selected in the previous point. By default the switching time is set to 42.67 ms but it is possible to set it up to 5440 ms (5.4 seconds). If there are spurious switching towards the Optical 1 input, the switching time can be increased to eliminate it. If the switching to Optical 1 is too slow, the switching time can be decreased to speed it up.
C. Optical 1 to Current Source: to set the deactivation time of the selected Optical input activated automatically (see point A). By default the switching time is set to 106 ms but it can be set to a maximum of 27200 ms (27 sec). By acting on this parameter you can speed up or slow down the switching to the previously disabled input.
D. Threshold: to set the minimum threshold level of the Optical input signal to be enabled. It is possible to choose between intervention levels from 0 dB to -96 dB.
￭ RVA: this function provides the ability to select an auxiliary input of the bit One HD Virtuoso: Optical 1, Optical 2, AUX and possibly control the volume from an external source provided with an AUX input. To use this function it is necessary to perform the calibration during the I/O Configuration Wizard phase (see section 8.3.1) and connect the bit One HD RVA input, as described in sections 5.4.3 e 5.6.1.
USE OF THE HEAD UNIT AUX INPUT
The switch between the bit One HD Master and auxiliary inputs (Aux, Optical 1/2) is completed by selecting the analog Aux input from the main source (Head Unit) and the volume will be controlled by the latter.
USE OF THE HEAD UNIT AUX USB INPUT
If the vehicle HEAD UNIT does not feature an analog AUX input, connect the USB RVA (INCLUDED WITH THE PRODUCT) as shown in see section 5.4.3; 5.6.1, to your head unit multimedia player. The USB RVA device provided contains the MP3 16.5KHz file format ( Default). Inside the USB RVA device, there are also other tones with other frequencies and different levels in .zip format that can subsequently be used during the setup phase according to specific needs. If a USB player is not available you can copy the tone necessary for automatic switching inside an SD Card storage device. We remind you that the storage device must only contain this file and no others, and during the reproduction it must not be paused or stopped!!!
Remark: the different types of tracks are available and downloadable from the Audison website (www.audison.eu), in the download section of the product bit One HD Virtuoso.
Functions Description:
E. Master to Auxiliary Input Switch: select the flag to enable/disable the auxiliary source automatic switching function set up in point B.
F. Select Master to: function to enable the automatic selection of one of the three external sources available; AUX, Optical 1, Optical 2. Select the source to activate the AUX input of the system source (Head Unit).
G. Master to Auxiliary: function to set the starting time for the selected auxiliary input of the bit One HD (see point 5), through the “Auto Input Switch” function. By default the switching time is set to 13.33 (default value) but it can be set starting with a minimum of 13.33 ms up to a maximum of 680 ms. Should any undesired switching occur from Master to AUX, switching time can be increased to eliminate it. If the switching from Master to AUX is too slow, the switching time can be decreased to speed it up.
H. Auxiliary to Master: it enables the turn off of the selected auxiliary input of the bit One HD (see point 5), through the “Auto Input Switch” function. By default the switching time is set to 13.33 (default value) but it can be set starting with a minimum of 13.33 ms up to a maximum of 6800 ms (6.8 sec). Should any undesired switching occur from AUX to Master, the release time can be increased to eliminate it. If the switching from AUX to Master is too slow, the release time can be decreased to speed it up.
I. Threshold: function to set the auxiliary input signal minimum threshold previously selected, to activate it. The operation levels range from 0 dB to -96 dB.
L. OEM Volume to Selected Auxiliary Input: select the flag to adjust the audio system volume using the volume control on the Head Unit. The volume control from DRC is disabled when an auxiliary input of the bit One HD Virtuoso is activated through the “Auto Input Switch” function.
M. OEM Fader/Balance to Selected Auxiliary Input: select the flag to automatically adjust the audio system balance and fader through the OEM source, when an auxiliary input is enabled (see point B).
N. WIRED MODE: By default it is set to 16.5 KHz, but it can be varied depending on the Head Unit performance, from a minimum of 14KHz to a maximum of 22KHz. This frequency can not be heard since it is concealed by the processor, and it has the function to control the Master volume and the selection of the bit One HD Virtuoso auxiliary input. If malfunctions occur using RVA with the Analog AUX input of the Head Unit, choose the lowest available value, so that a good functional compromise is reached.
O. USB DONGLE MODE: When using a USB RVA device (supplied), this contains by default the tone "16500 hz -6dB", as set in the "Freq Tone" window. If malfunctions occur during the switching, proceed as suggested below:
1) Playback of audio files on the Auxiliary input (AUX / Optical) of the bit One HD Virtuoso does not reach maximum level:
- Disconnect the USB RVA device from the source and insert it into a PC. Unzip the folder (.rar format) called "RVA 16.5KHz" in the desktop of your PC, and then copy the decompressed file "16.5 KHz -6dB", in the main route of the USB RVA device.
2) During the switching between Master input and Auxiliary input (AUX / Optical), annoying hisses can be heard:
- Disconnect the USB RVA device from the source and insert it into a PC. Unzip the folder (.rar format) called "RVA 16.5KHz" in the desktop of your PC, and then copy the decompressed file "16.5 KHz -6dB", in the main route of the USB RVA device. If the problem still persists when re-inserting the USB RVA device in the USB reader of the Head Unit, copy the previously unzipped file "16500 hz -12dB" inside the USB RVA device.
- If the instructions in the previous point do not have the desired effect, proceed as follows:
Disconnect the USB RVA device from the source and insert it into a PC. Unzip the folder (.rar format) called "RVA 16.5KHz" in the desktop of your PC, and then copy the decompressed file "16.5 KHz -6dB", in the main route of the USB RVA device. Select the value "18000" in the "Freq Tone" window of the PC software. Car head units do not behave in the same way and it may be necessary to choose other tone values in order to achieve the optimal setting.
If an optimal control tone is reached to use the RVA function, further refinement can be carried out by acting on the input sensitivity of the Master source, varying the levels of all the input channels via the link function, within a permitted limit of ± 3dB with respect to the calibration (see section 8.11).
Remark: if a USB reader is not available, you can copy the tone to be used for automatic switching from the supplied USB RVA device to an SD Card type storage device. Please note that the storage device must contain only this file and no other files.
The different types of tracks are available and downloadable from the Audison website (www.audison.eu), in the download section of the product bit One HD Virtuoso.
P. Level Tone: function to set the “Freq Tone” for the switch of the bit One HD Virtuoso auxiliary input. The Level Tone default value is set to a value calculated during the I/O Configuration Wizard. It is possible to select among 0 dB to -96 dB intervention levels, to optimize any spurious commutations compared to the automated calculation provided by the I/O Configuration Wizard.
Remark: this function is only active when the RVA function is used via the Head Unit Aux analog input.
Q. RVA Frequency Settings: function to select the switching tone of the bit One HD Virtuoso auxiliary input (AUX / OPTICAL 1 / OPTICAL 2), by connecting with the Head Unit AUX analog input or the USB multimedia device.
7. Auto Chimes:
activate this function by ticking the Enable box to switch to the main Master input each time a “Gong Signal” coming from the car should be heard.
Functions Description:
A. Attack: function to set the starting time for the auxiliary input to activate.
The operation levels range from 13 ms to 680 ms.
B. Release: function to set the turn off time of the auxiliary input activated.
The operation levels range from 13 ms to 6800 ms.
C. Threshold: function to set the minimum threshold level of the “Gong Signal” coming from the Head Unit Master input.
The operation levels range from 0 dB to -96 dB.
8. Power-On From HiLev:
select this entry to activate the bit One HD Virtuoso turn on using a high level signal (ART, Auto Remote Turn On), available on the CH1 and CH2 channels.
9. Master Delay Compensation:
select this entry to enable/disable the Head Unit time delays compensation. This function is available if during the “I/O Configuration Wizard” phase the “Master Input Delay” procedure has been performed (see section 7.2.2.5).
10. Startup/Shutdown Delays:
function to modify the bit One HD Virtuoso startup and shutdown delays.
￭ Startup Time: delay between the device startup and the output audio turn on. Each amplifier, when starting up, has its own delay before becoming operative. By setting the Startup Time to a value equal to or higher than the longest of these delays a synchronized startup of the audio of the entire system can be achieved.
￭ Shutdown time: delay between the turn off/deactivation of the REMOTE OUT signal to the amplifiers and the bit One HD Virtuoso shutdown. Acting on this parameter is not generally essential but it could useful to decrease it when amplifiers in the system produce a “Bump” while shutting down.
11. Power PC Mode:
if this function is enabled, it does not allow the bit One HD Virtuoso to be switched off, if the audio system is accidentally switched off, or if it is automatically disabled by the car during calibration. This function will allow you to keep the changes made enabled and possibly save them, or switch the main system back on and continue with the setup.
12. Language:
to change the language select your preference among the ones available on the menu.
