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 equalizer’s 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.
power indicator LED this LED is illuminated when the unit is properly powered, grounded

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

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

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 processor’s GROUND to a good chassis ground, near where the unit is
mounted, or to the case of the head unit.
Connect the signal processor’s 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 EQ’s, crossovers or amplifiers.)
Connect stereo RCA cables from the head’s 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.

precautions
ple730r
• Never drive with the volume raised so high
you cannot hear what is occuring in traffic
around you.
ple520p
• Be aware that repeated exposure to excessive
volume levels can permanently damage your
hearing!
• Keep all electronics away from moisture, dust,
extreme heat or extreme vibrations.
• Pyle Audio products are capable of sound
pressure levels in excess of 150 dB. Continuous
exposure to sound pressure levels over 100 dB
may cause permanent loss of hearing. Use
common sense and PRACTICE SAFE SOUND.
troubleshooting
If you experience...
Signal Processor does not turn on. Check that:
• Remote Turn-On wire has 12V.
• 12V wire has 12V.
• Ground wire is properly connected.
Level of sound is low. Check that:
• Wiring is not loose or cables misconnected/disconnected.
• RCA cables are not faulty.
Background noise is too high. Check that:
• Wiring is not loose or cables misconnected/disconnected.
• RCA cables are not faulty.
