MATCH M 5.4DSP

High power and fidelity

Audiotec Fischer wants to help you put exceptional sound into your car. Their MATCH M 5.4DSP 5-channel amplifier will make just about any audio system achieve greatness, offering up to 60 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers, up to 160 watts RMS for a subwoofer, plus computer-controlled digital signal processing that'll let you tweak the sound to perfection.

MidPower and HighPower modes

The MATCH M 5.4DSP comes ready to easily connect to your vehicle's factory wiring using a MATCH Plug and Play Amplifier Harness (sold separately). Because of the power limitations of factory wiring, this amplifier ships set to MidPower mode — 35 watts RMS output per each front and rear channel. You can switch the amplifier safely to HighPower mode and get 60 watts output per channel only if you use separate 10-gauge power and ground wires for the amplifier's installation.

Computer-controlled sound processing

Once you've downloaded the DSP PC-Tool app from Audiotec Fischer, plug your PC or laptop into the processor's USB port, and a detailed control panel will appear on your computer screen that lets you set virtually every tunable audio parameter to get the best musical fidelity possible in your car. The visual display shows the resulting sound curve of each setting, so you'll know for sure how your adjustments are affecting audio output.

EQ, time alignment, and more

The M 5.4DSP processing includes a 30-band graphic equalizer on every channel to compensate for all the dips and bumps in speaker response inside your car, so each speaker will sound its best. The time alignment feature lets you correct for each speaker's placement, so the sound from each speaker gets to you at the same time, centering the stereo image for your sitting position.

You can configure almost any type of high-pass and low-pass filter on each channel, so every speaker can play at peak efficiency. Filters and EQ can be set separately for each channel, or channels can be linked together for common settings.

Plays well with factory systems

Many newer vehicles feature accessory circuits that remain on for several minutes after the engine shuts off, so an aftermarket amplifier could possibly drain your vehicle's battery. The M 5.4DSP solves this problem by turning off after not sensing music for 60 seconds. This amp also features smart high-level inputs that will prevent a factory receiver from generating an "Error" shutdown when you disconnect the speakers.
