Bang & Olufsen ICEpower MobileSound 3 Quick Start

Brand: Bang & Olufsen

Model: ICEpower MobileSound 3

Type: Quick Start

Using the MobileSound 3 Audio Suite Program

The MobileSound 3 Audio Suite program consists of 3 sub-panels:

1. Block diagram in the upper left corner, showing the audio path of MS3.

2. Frequency response plot in the upper right corner, showing the

frequency response of the DSP algorithms.

3. Control panel in the bottom of the screen for modifying the settings of

the different blocks in the MS3.

When the control board and MS3 EV board have been connected and the

MobileSound 3 Audio Suite has been started, activate the MS3 EV-board by

performing the following steps in the block diagram in the upper left corner:

1. Go to “File -> Open -> I2C Settings”. Browse to the folder “…

demosettings” which is located in the installation directory of

MobileSound 3 Audio Suite. Select an initialization file. Check that the

communication status indicator in the bottom left corner is green. If it

is red, this indicates that the I2C connection is not working properly.

2. Enable either headphone or speaker amplifiers by right-clicking the

Headphone- or Speaker– triangle. The triangles are white when the

audio amplifiers are enabled.

3. Unmute the signal path by right-clicking the Volume block. The

Volume block turns white to indicate that the audio path is un-muted.

Use the volume slider to adjust the volume to the desired level.

4. Power up the MS3 by right-clicking on the power block in the bottom

of the diagram. The power block is highlighted with a red rectangle in

the figure below:

5. The MS3 is now fully operational. Start audio playback from your

media player program on the PC. The MS3 should now be playing

through either the loudspeakers or the headphones (make sure your

media player is setup to use “

USB Audio DAC

” as soundcard device).

A more thorough guide/help can be found in the MobileSound 3 Audio

Suite program in the main panel and choose
