I was so confused by looking through the DSR1 app on my iPad I went with a simpler Arc unit. If you need 8 channels though the Arc just won't cut it.
Here is a link some folks have mentioned that breaks down the DSR1 setup. Maybe it will shed some light for you.

Eric I was told to set the gains of the amps without the DSP in the circuit, then plug up the DSP and try to tune the signal. Some folks like to leave the amp crossovers on full pass and set those points on the DSP settings. That way if the amp is hard to get to and you change speakers down the road all you have to do is tweak your DSP.
I don't know if that will work good for your setup but it might be worth a try. One school of thought is to use subtraction as well as addition on the EQ to keep from boosting or lowering the signal itself from what you originally had it set to.
For example in my case I needed to tone down the mid frequencies of my batwing fairing speakers so I subtracted from the middle a couple of DB then added on the low and high end a couple of DB to get the smiley face EQ curve I was looking for. When I just dropped the mid frequencies a bunch it didn't sound as good.
I'm not real slick on DSPs but that is what I did on my EQ and crossover settings and so far so good.

You want to play pink noise with dsr1 hooked up. Set gains on amps to their recommended voltage using voltmeter and hu at 75%. You want to be on a hpf at 80hz or so. 24 drop off. Then you can set eq to where you want at that point, change timing and levels to individual speaks if desired.

I have the DSR-1 . Took me 3 weeks to figure it out. Cross overs now make sense and the equalizer is fun to play with. Credit goes to Tailwind and USAProud they helped me figure it out. What speakers you have is important because you can set it up by those spec’s . I just put some mm1 652 speakers in the rear Set it on high pass, those speakers have a 40 to 40k response for crossover. So I set it to 40 to catch anything the speaker can handle if that makes sense. Than played with the slope 12,18,24 as to witch one sounded better to me. Hope this helps. I used band pass on my mids because the crossover is tighter. Those are I think 40 to 5k? I’d have to look. Looked up a 31 band equlizer on line and played mostly with the vocal slides and moved everything else little by little and still playing.
