Match UP7BMW Plug & Play Upgrade Amplifier for BMWs with HiFi Sound 676
The "M package" for your BMW HiFi sound system (option 676) - The MATCH UP 7BMW is a revolutionary sound upgrade for those who desire significantly more power and dynamics, but also care about seamless integration into the vehicle.
The installation is done in the blink of an eye at the mounting position of the original amplifier thanks to the included Plug & Play connection cable and a custom-fit mounting plate (excluding some older E-Series vehicles, some modification of the mounting is required). Nevertheless, the UP 7BMW amplifier is so flexible that it can easily be used for universal applications in BMW vehicles.
Besides Audiotec Fischer's proprietary Class HD technology and the cutting-edge 64 Bit DSP with tremendous processing power, new and high innovative DSP features such as "Augmented Bass Processing", the "StageXpander" and the “RealCenter” function guarantee top-class listening pleasure.
Of course, the UP 7BMW also offers a MATCH Extension Card slot (MEC slot) for additional input and output modules such as a Bluetooth® Audio Streaming module or a High Resolution audio USB sound card.
Thanks to the professional and user-friendly DSP PC-Tool software V4 the configuration of the UP 7BMW becomes straigthforward and intuitive.

Special features:
Class HD technology
The UP 7BMW combines the
advantages of a Class H technology with the principle of a class D
amplifier. The result is an unsurpassed efficiency which easily
outperforms any conventional Class D amplifier. By varying the internal
supply voltage depending on the amplifier’s amplitude of the input
signals, idle losses are significantly reduced and overall efficiency is
close to maximum at any time.
Smart highlevel input ADEP.3
Modern,
factory-installed car radios incorporate sophisticated possibilities of
diagnosing the connected speakers. In particular the latest generation
of BMW car radios are equipped with additional monitoring functions so
that failure messages and loss of specific features (e.g. fader
function) quite often appear if a common amplifier will be hooked up -
but not with the UP 7BMW.
The new ADEP.3 circuit (Advanced
Diagnostics Error Protection, 3rd Generation) avoids all these problems
without loading the speaker outputs of the OE radio during high volumes
unnecessarily.
Start-Stop capability
The switched power supply
of the MATCH UP 7BMW assures a constant internal supply voltage even if
the battery’s voltage drops to 6 Volts during engine crank. If the
supply voltage drops below 10.5 Volts for more than five seconds the
amplifier goes to “Protect mode” (Status LED lights up red) in order to
avoid any further discharge of the car’s battery.
Automatic Digital Signal Detection
Switching from
analog input to the digital input is done automatically as soon as a
signal is detected on the Optical Input. This feature can be deactivated
in the DSP PC-Tool software. Alternatively you can use an optional
remote control for manual switching between analog and digital inputs.
Power Save Mode
The Power Save Mode is
incorporated in the basic setup. It allows to significantly reduce the
power consumption of the UP 7BMW and potentially connected amplifiers
once there’s no input signal present for more than 60 seconds. Please
note that in many up-to-date cars with “CAN” or any other internal bus
structures it may happen that the radio remains “invisibly” turned on
for up to 45 min. even after locking and leaving the car! Once the
“Power Save Mode“ is active the remote output and therefore the
connected amplifiers will be turned off. The MATCH UP 7BMW will
reactivate the remote output within a second if a music signal is
applied. It is possible to either modify the turn-off time of 60 sec. or
completely deactivate the “Power Save Mode” via the DSP PC-Tool
software.
Suitable for most BMW model ranges with BMW HiFi sound system (option 676) please see bottom of listing for more information
The “RealCenter” feature is an algorithm, developed by Audiotec Fischer, that emphasizes the music information that is present in both the left and right front channel. In contrast to common procedures, in which only the channels are summed up, the intensity of the center signal is also dynamically controlled by the stereophonic informational content of the left and right channel. Sounds complicated, but this effect is astonishing: that means, if solely the left or the right channel delivers an audio signal, the center channel will not reproduce a signal. In the case of common algorithms, the volume level of the center channel is only reduced by 6 dB (= half volume level). Audiotec Fischer’s “RealCenter” thus allows a unique, broadened sound staging for both driver and co-driver at the same time! Therefore, the disadvantages of a conventional center channel, such as an intrusive, small sound stage, are things of the past.
Augmented Bass Processing
Audiotec Fischer‘s
proprietary “Augmented Bass Processing”, consisting of the two
revolutionary sound features “Dynamic Bass Enhancement” and
“SubXpander”, has been especially developed to dramatically improve the
bass reproduction of OE subwoofers. The “Dynamic Bass Enhancement”
ensures that the under-seat subwoofers of the BMW always play in their
optimum conditions - regardless of the music style or the factory tone
controls in the head unit. Depending on the input signal, the “Dynamic
Bass Enhancement” gains the lower frequency range and varies the cut-off
frequency of the subsonic filter.
The clou - the parameters of the
algorithm are precisely adapted to the installed loudspeakers. The
result is a significantly more powerful and deeper bass response at low
and medium volume levels without the risk of overloading the subwoofers
neither mechanically nor electrically at high volume levels. This
despite the considerably higher power output at the amplifiers subwoofer
outputs compared to the original system. It is simply fascinating which
bass performance is suddenly possible with the original speak er
systems. If you want an even lower and “darker“ bass reproduction, the
“SubXpander“ can be additionally activated. Therefore, subharmonic tones
are added to the fundamental tones in the frequency range between 50
and 100 Hz.
StageXpander
Depending on the speaker
arrangement in the vehicle, a more or less wide stereo sound stage can
be created on the front seats. A center speaker may limit the spatial
reproduction of the music additionally. This is where Audiotec Fischer‘s
new "StageXpander" comes into play - a sound feature which seems to
break the acoustic limitations and thus allows to create a way broader
stereo base without negatively affecting the precision of the
localization of voices or instruments! The effect can be adjusted
according to your personal preferences in four steps.
ClarityXpander
You are looking for more
transparency and substance in the treble reproduction? With the
“ClarityXpander” Audiotec Fischer is now offering the right tool.
Properly
adjusted (and therefore selectable in three steps) the feature adds
additional harmonics in the upper frequency range - this is especially
useful if the original speakers lack some brilliance in the treble
response. The extra treble-kick is not only available for the two front
channels, but also separately adjustable for the center channel. Even
better - the center channel allows to activate an automatic and dynamic
control so that music with “loads” of treble doesn’t fatigue your
hearing.
EXTENDED COMPATIBILITY NOTES:
Not Compatible with the 6 Series (E63/E64) with 676 Option, this vehicle has a different setup altogether!
Is compatible with BMW 1 or 2 Series F** vehicles with the 674 Upgrade (as long as the vehicle is no newer than May 2019)
2019 onwards vehicles: Make sure your car does not have the RAM module (this basically means that the radio is actually in the boot and built into the amplifier, if you remove the panel in the boot, look at the amplifier, there should be a single plug going into it, if there is more than one then the amplifier will not be compatible)
