Match M 5.4DSP miniature amplifier for powerful sound upgrades
The M 5.4DSP is barely larger than a smartphone. With 400/800W RMS/max output power and the latest DSP technology, it dramatically improves standard factory sound systems and brings genuine hi-fi performance into your car.
Performance and plug and play on demand
The M 5.4DSP offers two power modes: "HighPower" for maximum performance, or "MidPower" with reduced output and lower power consumption — allowing plug and play installation without a separate power supply cable.
The Match range includes a large number of pre-assembled adapter cables for straightforward plug and play connection, making it 100% upgradeable without leaving any traces.
Maximum flexibility
The 64-bit audio signal processor provides nine DSP channels. Four freely configurable RCA outputs allow connection of additional amplifiers, enabling complex, space-saving multi-channel systems. For dedicated bass, the Match UP 1FX mono subwoofer amplifier can be added via these outputs.
Features
- Ultra-efficient 5-channel amplifier with 4 line outputs and 9-channel DSP
- Minimum dimensions for stealth installation concepts
- Two power options: "HighPower" mode for maximum performance and "MidPower" mode with reduced output and lower power consumption for plug and play applications
- Plug and play installation without a separate power supply cable in "MidPower" mode

- ACO (Advanced 32-bit CoProcessor) platform supporting system and DSP features including:
- ISA (Input Signal Analyzer) and InputEQ for analysis and compensation of input signals
- SFX sound effects: Augmented Bass Processing, StageXpander, RealCenter and more
- Optical input in SPDIF format with sampling rates between 12 and 96kHz
- Smart high-level input with ADEP.3 circuit and Auto Turn-On function
- VCP (Virtual Channel Processing) for flexible configuration of complex sound systems
- Auto Remote switch
- Start-Stop capability down to 6 volts supply voltage
- Freely configurable 4-channel line output for connection of additional amplifiers
- Subwoofer connection cable for Match plug and play and conventional subwoofers included
- SCP (Smart Control Port) for optional accessories including WIFI CONTROL, DIRECTOR, CONDUCTOR and more
Class GD technology
Audiotec Fischer's proprietary Class GD concept advances the efficiency of conventional Class D amplifiers by varying the internal supply voltage in several steps in response to the amplifier's input signals. This significantly reduces idle losses and keeps overall efficiency close to maximum at all times. Heat dissipation is almost negligible, allowing small heat sinks and a very compact form factor.
ACO: Advanced 32-bit CoProcessor
The M 5.4DSP incorporates a latest-generation 32-bit CoProcessor for all monitoring and communication tasks, internally and externally. Compared to the previous 8-bit generation, this MCU delivers much higher speeds for setup switching and data communication with the DSP PC-Tool software.
The CoProcessor's integrated native boot loader allows software upgrades across all DSP components — for example, to update the microcontroller-controlled ADEP.3 circuit in response to future changes in factory radio diagnostic systems, or when the device is extended with additional interfaces. The new flash memory also provides 10 memory locations for sound setups.
Start-Stop capability
The switched power supply in the M 5.4DSP maintains a constant internal supply voltage even if the battery voltage drops to 6 volts during engine crank.

About the Match M115004
From our tech experts at CEN
A 5-channel amplifier from Match, with a DSP integrated giving 9 processed channels.
Who it suits
Drivers upgrading a factory system who want amplification and tuning in one box. Match is Audiotec Fischer’s OEM-integration brand, and these are designed to take a factory signal and make something of it.
Our tech experts advise
The processing is worth only what the tuning puts into it: measurements in the car, delays for the driving seat, crossovers for your actual drivers. We tune these in the vehicle at our Beeston workshop. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose the right amplifier for my speakers or subwoofer?
A: Match the amplifier's RMS output per channel to the RMS handling of your speakers or subwoofer at the same impedance. The Specification tab lists the power figures. If in doubt, contact CEN with your setup and we will recommend a match.
Q: What wiring do I need to install this amplifier?
A: You will need an amplifier wiring kit sized to the amplifier's power draw, typically including power and earth cable, a fuse, RCA leads and a remote wire. CEN stocks complete wiring kits, and the amplifier's fuse rating is the guide to the cable gauge required.
Q: What class of amplifier is this and does it matter?
A: Class D amplifiers are compact and efficient, ideal for subwoofers and modern installs. Class AB designs are traditionally favoured for outright sound quality on mid and high frequencies. The class is listed in the Specification tab where provided.
Q: Will an amplifier work with my factory head unit?
A: Yes, in most cases. If your head unit has no RCA outputs you will need a line output converter to feed the amplifier a clean signal. CEN stocks line output converters and can advise the right one for your vehicle.
Q: Can CEN install this amplifier?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional amplifier installation from our Nottingham premises, including secure mounting, wiring and setup. Contact us to book.
Q: How many channels does the MATCH M 5.4DSP have?
A: It has five amplifier channels (four main channels plus a subwoofer channel), a 9-channel 64-bit DSP and four freely configurable RCA line outputs for adding further amplifiers.
Q: Can the MATCH M 5.4DSP be installed without a separate power cable?
A: Yes. In MidPower mode it runs with reduced output (4 x 35W RMS at 4 ohms) and lower power consumption, allowing plug and play installation without a separate power supply cable. HighPower mode gives 4 x 60W RMS at 4 ohms.
Q: Does the M 5.4DSP work with start-stop vehicles?
A: Yes. Its switched power supply keeps a constant internal supply voltage even if the battery voltage drops to 6 volts during engine crank.
Q: What's in the box with the MATCH M 5.4DSP?
A: The M 5.4DSP amplifier, a Control Input-to-SCP adaptor, USB cable, PP-IOC connection cable (0.50m), PP-SOC subwoofer connection cable (0.45m), Line Output-to-RCA cable, mounting material and instruction manual.
