Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of your RCS 2.0S. You have now acquired one of the most advanced Pre-amplifier / Room Correction System ever developed!

The new RCS 2.0S has four times the processing power of the famous RCS 2.0 and even better AD and DA conversion. All of this combined with new features and updated software takes TacT Audio’s room correction to new heights. In terms of performance and sound quality, the RCS-2.0S is unmatched - even without room correction engaged. The RCS-2.0S has no noise, extremely low distortion, and is utterly transparent with effortless accurate sound. Every effort has been made to make this preamplifier the best that money can buy. Add to this the latest evolution of TacT Audio’s room correction technology and the result is absolutely staggering.

TacT room correction technology has already been praised by the press all around the world. Comments like “Wholesale improvement in sound quality” have become a standard phrase for reviewers describing the results that can be achieved with TacT’s room correction. Now we have taken room correction technology even further, not only in terms of processing power, but also in terms of the measurement and correction systems. The measurement is now done with a triple pulse for each acquisition. This increases the measurement resolution in both the time and frequency domains. Correction resolution is now four times higher than the original RCS 2.0.

The internal layout of the RCS 2.0S is completely modular. All of the expensive com- ponents such as DSP’s, DA and AD converters are plug-in type and placed on a motherboard. This allows for easy and inexpensive future upgrades. Even the rear- panel - including the sockets - can be exchanged to accommodate future interfaces and extensions.

The front-panel and DSP’s are 100% software driven, and any future improve- ments or new features can be loaded through the RS232 port. It is our upgrade policy to offer software upgrades at no cost, and we therefore encourage you to fill out and submit the enclosed registration card by fax or email (info@tactaudio.com).
