Product Description
Manufacturer Part Number: KPX
The dual-purpose Dayton Audio KPX allows you to unlock the full potential of your DSPB/KABD amplifier or preamp boards by connecting them to the easy to use, Analog Devices SigmaStudio visual programming tool. KPX also enables you to use KABX software to preset equalization settings and more for the KAB-250v4, KAB-230v4, and KAB-100Mv2.
Dayton Audio KPX In-Circuit Programmer USB
The Dayton Audio KPX Programmer is a multipurpose DSP programmer for the KAB series, KABD series, and future DSP amplifier boards from Dayton Audio. The programmer has two main programming modes: USBi mode is used for connecting KABD series amplifier boards to the Analog Devices SigmaStudio development tool, and the KABX mode is used for connecting compatible KAB amplifiers to the Dayton Audio KABX DSP tool.
KABD Boards
KAB Boards
Legacy DSPB Boards
The KPX Programmer is simple to use, however, usage will depend on the amplifier board you are connecting to the KPX programmer. If you are unsure if your amplifier is KABX software compatible or SigmaStudio software compatible, see the chart directly above and find the model of your amplifier. KABX compatible amplifier boards will have a 4-pin programming connector, whereas SigmaStudio compatible boards will have a 6-pin programming connector. The 4-pin connector uses UART to program the ARM based DSP in compatible KAB amplifiers, whereas the 6-pin connector uses IIC or SPI to program the dedicated SigmaDSP processor found in the KABD or DSPB series of amplifiers.
Although your KABD amplifier houses its own ADAU1701 DSP chip, to communicate with your PC, a USBi programmer is required. The Dayton Audio KPX programmer can be thought of as the bridge between your PC and your DSP chip so that they can communicate.
What do I need to connect my KABD Amplifier to SigmaStudio?
The Dayton Audio KPX does all the great things with SigmaStudio just like the DSPB-ICP1. It enables you to set precise EQ, crossovers, do time alignment, bass enhancement and so much more to truly fine-tune your project. Hook it to any DSPB or KABD board using the included 6-pin cable and set the SW4 switch to IIC and the SW1 switch to USBi. Use a USB-C cable to hook to the USB-C port on the KPX and to any Windows PC to program your KABD/DSPB amplifier or preamp board.
While your KAB amplifier sounds great out of the box, the KABX DSP Control software is compatible with new generation KAB amplifier boards (KAB-250v4, KAB-230v4, KAB-100Mv2) when combined with a KPX programmer and the free KPBX offers extensive DSP customization with no experience required. The software provides simple control of 10 band of PEQ, High Pass Filters, Low Pass Filters, Compressor / Limiters, Bass Effects and more. KPX Programmer connection is only needed temporarily, DSP presets can be saved to the KAB amplifier itself and the programmer can be removed. This also means that one programmer can program as many amplifiers as needed.
What do I need to connect my KAB Amplifier to KABX?
The dual-purpose Dayton Audio KPX allows you to unlock the full potential of your DSPB/KABD amplifier or preamp boards by connecting them to the easy to use, Analog Devices SigmaStudio visual programming tool. KPX also enables you to use KABX software to preset equalization settings and more for the KAB-250v4, KAB-230v4, and KAB-100Mv2.
