Digital room correction

Digital Room Correction is using a processor to correct the interaction between the speakers and the room.

Proper DRC requires measuring the response using a calibrated microphone at the listening position.
This measurement is used to generate a target curve, one that compensate for the amoralities caused by the interaction between room and speakers.

DEQX HDP-3 Preamp proccesor AUD 6575

The HDP must be placed between the pre- and the power amp.

The signal from the pre-amp is converted to digital.

The DSP is applied and the result is converted by the DACs.

DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core

Manufacturers description:

The new DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core room correction system can be used to correct any stereo audio system automatically. It utilizes a highly powerful DSP chipset for master grade room correction, the new dual-core VS8053 "IceDragon".

The new Anti-Mode Dual Core can be inserted between a pre-amp and a power amp (or active speakers). With automatic calibration and built-in TFT screen to display the room measurements, it offers the unmatched ease of use DSPeaker is famous for around the world.

In addition to the acclaimed Anti-Mode room correction, Dual Core also offers remote controlled USB-DAC /  S/PDIF-DAC, pre-amp, volume control and versatile EQ functions. All easily controlled with the featured remote control. Both balanced XLR/RCA connections are available, but also Pure-Digital mode where the corrected signal is passed through completely in the digital domain.

 

  • Automatically corrects any stereo system with userdefined frequency range
  • Remote controller
  • Can be used as a digital 1.1 crossover
  • Measures and displays the room response on a color TFT display
  • Supports multiple measurement points
  • Custom parametric EQs (notching, peaking, lowpass, highpass)
  • Easy to use House curve and Tiltcurve tools
  • Supports several independent "sweet spots", selectable with remote controller
  • USB DAC
  • Dual 6 MHz oversampling multibit DAC per output channel
  • Dual 192 kHz ADC per input channel
  • Pure Digital mode (Optical)
  • Digitally controlled analog volume control
