Audison bit DMI MOST Digital Interface — Connect OEM MOST Fiber-Optic Systems to Audison Processors

The Audison bit DMI is a digital interface for vehicles whose factory multimedia system uses MOST fiber-optic technology. It connects the car's original digital source to Audison bit processors, and to Audison amplifiers with a digital input, over an optical fiber. It converts the native MOST signal into a TOSLINK optical S/PDIF output, so the audio is passed on without analog conversion and without losing quality, and the factory controls stay in place.

Key Features

• MOST optical input (MOST IN/OUT connector) that plugs into the vehicle's fiber-optic multimedia system
• TOSLINK optical output: S/PDIF stereo PCM, 16-bit, 44.1/48 kHz (depending on the system)
• Keeps OEM head-unit volume, balance and tone controls, plus hands-free, navigation and parking-sensor alerts
• Turns on and off automatically with the car's MOST system and generates a remote-out signal
• Configured and updated over USB (mini-B 2.0) with the bit DMI software
• Works with Audison bit processors and amplifiers that have a digital input

Power and Technical Highlights

The bit DMI is a small interface, not an amplifier: it carries the digital signal only. Remote-in is automatic via MOST, and the optical output tops out at 48 kHz/16-bit stereo PCM. The software runs on Microsoft Windows (see Audison's site for the current supported versions).

Ideal For / System Fit

• Vehicles with a factory MOST fiber-optic multimedia system
• Installs that pair the car's digital source with an Audison bit processor or digital-input amplifier
• Owners who want to keep the factory head unit and its controls

Only for MOST-based vehicles: it will not work with other OEM digital systems, and compatibility depends on your car's system and configuration.

Installation Note

Installation means splicing the interface into the car's MOST fiber loop, then configuring it for the vehicle over USB. Confirm vehicle compatibility before ordering, and use a professional installer.

What's Included

1 x Audison bit DMI digital MOST interface (confirm the supplied cables and accessories with your supplier)

Precautions

• Confirm your vehicle's MOST system and software configuration before buying
• Handle optical fibers carefully; sharp bends or damage can break the signal
• Professional installation is strongly recommended
• The output is limited to 16-bit stereo PCM, up to 48 kHz
