FEATURES AND HIGHLIGHTS

Constant-Q equalization controls: Car interiors vary widely in size and acoustic make- up. In addition doors, kick-panels, and rear decks don’t make the best location for speaker place- ment causing your high performance speaker system to sound somewhat lackluster. The DQX offers thirty precise equalization controls spread equally across the audio spectrum at one-third octave increments for maximum control. Each equalization filter utilizes a precise constant-Q topology, traditionally utilized only in the highest performing professional audio products.

Parametric Equalization Controls: In addition to the thirty, one-third octave controls, the DQX also offers two, fully-adjustable paramet- ric equalization controls. With the DQX’s para- metric controls you select a center frequency, dial in the ideal bandwidth and apply the appropriate amount of boost or cut. The precise filtering of the DQX allows you to select bandwidths as narrow as 1/12 octave!

Programmable 24dB/Octave Three-way Crossover: With digital programmability, the three-way electronic crossover in the DXS easily configures to almost any high-performance mobile audio system. By simply pressing a few buttons, you can select almost any crossover frequency imaginable. The 24dB/Octave Linkwitz-Riley (a couple of real nice audio engi- neers) design is normally reserved for the best home and professional systems, but now this state-of-the-art crossover is yours in the DQX.

Programmable Frequency Match (PFM) Filter: This programmable low cut filter allows the system designer to custom tune the bass response of the speaker system. Smaller woofers can be protected against the voice-coil-charring bass they are too small to reproduce. Tuned (Ported) subwoofers benefit by having the fre- quencies below their tuning cut off to reduce distortion and save system power.

Non-volatile memories: The DQX has the ability to allow the user to set and store up to eight different system (equalization/crossover) settings in individual memory locations.
