China Patent: ZL2015 1 0464611.6

USA Patent: US9733890 B2

Designed AND Built Specifically for Harley

Cicada Audio was started to develop product SPECIFICALLY for Harley-Davidsons. Even though you’ve probably never heard of Cicada Audio….our president and head engineer has been designing 12V audio for over 30 years. He has 5 design and engineering awards and 2 design patents. He’s developed 1,000’s of products in that time, many gaining “cult” status. He REALLY knows 12-volt audio. He saw that there was a real need for some new thinking and new direction in audio. Specifically “motorcycle audio” . We, at Cicada Audio, don’t do Car audio, we don’t do Marine, we don’t do “Powersport” audio. We ONLY do Motorcycle audio…PERIOD!@!!

CICADA AUDIO – The “New kids” on the block

It’s fitting that our FIRST DSP processor we deliver will be a ultra-compact DSP88 is element ready, being the ideal choice for Motorcycle installations. It features an incredible small size form factor.  Plus, easy setup thanks to the integrated summing/crossover/time delay/gain filters. Our DSP88 Processor gives you 8 inputs with 8 outputs.  So you can have a just a 2 channel input and still have 8 channels out DSP to do whatever you want!!  We’ve included a “loaded” HD OEM radio harness MOLEX’s so it is easy to connect.  The DSP88 is completely configurable from the palm of your hand. Bluetooth Control GUI (Graphical User Interface). You have complete control over the signal, both in and out. Crossover slopes from 6dB to 48dB. Adjustable Q’s from VERY narrow (Q of 20) to very broad (Q of 0.05). Channels can be grouped for easy tuning and there is input summing and the ability to link channels for easy level setting. Software is VERY user friendly and easy to tune. Plus, we have added PreSet Audio Curves for the most popular bike years and typical gear used.  These Audio PreSets FIX the weird EQ settings that HD has put into many of their bike audio system.  Normally you would have to pay a HD motorcycle shop $100 -200 to “Flash” you bike.  NOT with Cicada Audio DSP88 Processor!  These Presets SOLVES that issue and gives you curves that may be totally fine with you and your listening habits.  One click and DONE!!   Even if that doesn’t happen and you want to adjust it yourself, these curves get you WAY closer to setup easily and QUICKLY.  Our software is downloadable from the Google App Store, Apple App Store and here. For your motorcycle this DSP is perfect…especially when in conjunction with Co Ax Horn speakers. to get you the most output, power and clarity possible. Everything to make it that it is easier to tune your bike. Quickly. We recommend that you download the software onto your phone and play with it, see what you think. We think you will be happier than hell to finally have an easy solution to a DIY audio system for your HD. Also look in our accessory section and see all the harnesses available to make life a WHOLE lot easier for you. Plug and play baby!!!

Fitment notes:
This DSP Processor has a great “form factor” as it can sit on top of the radio or under the left/right bike fairing substructure. Software Phone/Tablet APP and PC APP makes this small size package a WINNER. Easily fits into the fairing of any Harley Bagger 1998 – 2019.

DSP88 SOFTWARE IS AVAILABLE  ON GOOGLE OR APPLE
MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE APPLICATION
FOR YOUR ANDROID OR APPLE PHONE OR TABLET – QR CODES BELOW

SUPER NOTE: THE DSP88 WILL NOT STREAM MUSIC!!!!!! 
BLUETOOTH IS ONLY FOR SETTING UP THE DSP.  PERIOD!!!!!!

FIRST SUPER SPECIAL TECH TIP!!!!
It is HIGHLY recommended that you use a designated device for DSP tuning/Set-Up and a DIFFERENT
device to stream music to your bike!! Think of it this way .. you are trying to STREAM music from your phone
to your HD radio…and at the same time….stream DATA to another device (the DSP150.4D) SIMULTANEOUSLY!!
Does anyone think that is a GOOD idea??
– SUPER BAD IDEA! –
MAKE SURE AND USE 2 DEVICES TO MAKE LIFE EASY!!!

SECOND SUPER SPECIAL TECH TIP!!!!
Make sure you are “synced” with your phone.  Look to the top right GEAR (settings).  The inside of the gear will be lit up YELLOW when you are “synced”.  Make sure it is before doing ANY adjustments or modifications to your settings.  

THIRD SPECIAL TECH TIP!!

On Android phones …make sure location is TURNED ON!!!  Otherwise, your phone will NOT connect to the application!!.

SOFTWARE/APPLICATION LINKS FOR DSP88 

IN MY APPLICATION – CA AMP – GUI (COMMONLY CALLED “GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE”) THERE IS TAB AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EQ SCREEN CALLED “AUDIO PRESETS”.  THESE ARE PRE-DETERMINED  EQ SETTINGS TO REMOVE THE STRANGE AS HELL EQ SETTINGS THAT HD SETS UP ALL BIKES SINCE 2014.

CLICK HERE TO READ ABOUT MY AUDIO PRESETS (WHICH ARE ON THE EQ PAGE OF THE GUI)

THESE WERE DESIGNED TO GET YOU QUICKLY INTO “DIALING IN” YOU BIKE SYSTEM!
SO I ADDED SOME OF MY OWN “SECRET SAUCE” FOR EQUALIZATION AND PRESET CROSSOVERS AND GAIN SETTINGS.   THIS WILL GET YOU 90%  OF THE WAY! NOW “SALT & PEPPER” TO TASTE!!! – ON NEWER BIKES (2017 -UP)
STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU FLASH YOUR RADIO AS HD HAS ADDED A CIRCUIT THAT LOWERS BASS OUTPUT THE LOUDER YOU TURN IT UP!!!!
