Prep checklist
How to prepare for your RemoteDSP tuning session.
Think of the session as a live shop visit without trailering. The better the prep, the more time we can spend refining presets. Use this guide alongside the remote session overview to arrive dialed-in and confident.
Hardware + software readiness
- Update DSP firmware and confirm you can save/load presets locally.
- Install the latest manufacturer software plus TeamViewer or AnyDesk for remote control.
- Label channels and verify signal routing so we can identify each zone quickly.
- Have a backup USB cable or Ethernet adapter available just in case.
Measurement mic placement
Use a calibrated USB mic (UMIK-1, UMM-6, IMM-6) on a tripod at ear height. For motorcycles and Slingshots, set the mic where your helmet sits at riding position; on boats, cover each seating zone; in studios, map left/right mix spots. Keep fans or HVAC noise low so sweeps stay clean. Need examples? Browse our motorcycle, Slingshot, and marine guides.
Power and environment
Maintaining stable voltage lets us make precise calls on gain and limiter headroom. Plug into shore power, a battery tender, or a conditioned outlet. For events or shops, schedule outside show hours to minimize interruptions. Keep tools handy if we need to adjust crossovers or amplifier gains.
Playlist + goals
Queue tracks that represent how you actually use the system—highway test loops, lake party sets, studio references, or customer demos. Share any upcoming events or deliverables so we can build presets around them. Installer teams often block 2-hour windows and invite clients to listen in near the end.
Day-of checklist
- Join the call five minutes early and confirm audio from your measurement mic.
- Disable system sounds/notifications so recordings stay clean.
- Keep an SPL meter or monitoring app handy if you need specific output targets.
- Have notes ready for zones, listening positions, or concerns you want addressed first.
