ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for programming an amplifier includes an amplifier and a portable programmer that is removably connectable to the amplifier. The portable programmer includes a microprocessor, a keypad, and a display screen. The amplifier includes a programming input port, a signal processing circuit, a power amplifier and a control circuit. When the portable programmer is connected to the amplifier, information relating to parameter of various signal processing circuit elements can be read and modified through the programmer. The information input via the keypad and displayed on the display screen is transmitted from the programmer via the microprocessor to the signal processing control circuit to change signal processing functions and/or signal process function parameters of at least one of the signal processing circuit elements. As a result, processing of a signal transmitted through the amplifier is changed so that a sound produced by the signal can be modified. The signal processing circuit elements remain programmed when the programmer is removed and/or power is disconnected.
