The purpose of this tool is to enable the installer to set the gain of an audio amplifier to match the source unit’s output level, accurately and quickly. It can also be useful for detecting distortion in the audio signal caused by poorly designed or malfunctioning audio equipment. What is the difference between this and the original DD-1+? Sets audio system gain overlap, continuously variable from 0.0dB - 15.0dB in 0.1dB steps Checks gain overlap of an audio system without making any adjustments to the existing settings Verifies that the gain overlap of an install hasn't been tampered with after install Features our Patent Pending Distortion Detection system plus digital microcontroller and our proprietary firmware 200V maximum input (same as DD-1 HV) Quasi-RMS voltmeter (can detect clipping at any frequency) What is included? The Distortion Detector PLUS (DD-1+) Protective silicon rubber boot Calibrated Test tone CD Harness This manual Pride of ownership About the Design When you pick up the DD-1+, know that you are holding a precision piece of equipment.  If treated as such it should provide you with many years of reliable service.  Specification Distortion Detection trigger level > 1.0% Harmonic Distortion Guaranteed operating range of input signal is 1.2Vrms – 200Vrms.  (40,000 Watts at 1ohm) Autoranging Low Battery LED trigger battery voltage < 6.5Vdc Auto-shut off timer 8 - 10 minutes after ON button is pressed Battery self-test and display of condition when DD-1+ is initialized Shipping Box 9 x 6 x 2 inches, 2 lbs

The purpose and benefit of the D’Amore Engineering / SMD Crossover Calibrator. Most modern car audio amplifiers have a built in crossover on the side. Usually, it will start at 30hz and have a huge gap, all the way up to (sometimes) 500hz. The purpose of this tool is to enable the installer to set the crossover frequency of an electronic crossover to the desired frequency, accurately and quickly. Enter "Competition Mode" and easily match gains on any 4-channel amplifier or even multiple bass amplifiers. This is VERY important when using subwoofers that share a common chamber, especially if you have 2 (or more) amplifiers on a dual voice coil driver. What is included? The Crossover Calibrator (CC-1) Protective silicon rubber boot Calibrated Test tone CD Harness This manual Pride of ownership About the design When you pick up the CC-1, know that you are holding a precision piece of equipment. If treated as such it should provide you with many years of reliable service. We have chosen a 9V battery as a power source for a few reasons: They are readily available Isolating the CC-1 from the vehicle’s electrical system for power, guarantees that it will only measure what it is supposed to measure; the audio signal, not noise in the charging system. We also chose an RCA input connector for a few reasons: It makes it pretty easy to measure the output of a headunit directly, if you choose to do so Should the harness become damaged it is easily replaceable or repairable in the field Specifications Everyone hides these in the back of the book. We are proud of our specs, they aren’t lies, so we are putting them up front. The Crossover Calibrator’s circuitry is digital microprocessor controlled Crossover -3dB point accuracy +/- 0.25dB Low Battery LED trigger battery voltage < 6.5Vdc Auto-shut off timer 8 - 10 minutes after ON button is pressed
