Programming Dayton Audio Amplifier Boards with the KPX Programmer

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.

• KPX Programmer with included 4-pin and / or 6-pin cable
• KABX or SigmaStudio compatible Dayton Audio Amplifier Board
  KABD-230, KABD-250, KABD-430, KABD-4100
• A compatible USBi programmer and USB cable
  Dayton Audio KPX (USB Type C)

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.

KABX Integration on KAB Amplifier Boards

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?
• A Windows PC / Laptop with available USB Port
• The free SigmaStudio download
• A KABD Amplifier and recommended power supply
• Windows desktop or laptop running either SigmaStudio or the Dayton Audio KABX Software

Programming Dayton Audio Amplifier Boards with the KPX Programmer

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.
