| INTRODUCTION |
| |
| Congratulations on your purchase of your RCS 2.2 XP. You have now acquired the |
| most advanced stereo Preamplifi er / Room Correction System ever developed! |
| The RCS 2.2 XP has four times the processing power of the famous TacT RCS |
| 2.0 and even better AD and DA conversion. This now combined with new fea- |
| tures and a more |
| new heights. The RCS 2.2 XP has no noise and extremely low distortion, yielding |
| CAUTION |
| amazingly transparent 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. |
Room Correction | TacT room correction technology has been praised by the press all around the |
System | 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 measure- |
| ment 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 found |
| in the original RCS 2.0. |
Separate Subwoofer | One of the most exciting features of the RCS 2.2 XP is its separate subwoofer |
Control | output. The RCS 2.2X P can be used with one or (preferably) two subwoofers. An |
| electronic crossover can be set with a frequency between 60 and 400 Hz and a |
| slope between 12 dB/octave and 60 dB/octave to split the audio signal between |
| the main and subwoofer outputs. The correction software aligns the |
| with the main speakers in the time domain and in the frequency domain, for com- |
| pletely seamless integration surpassing even the best |
| With the RCS 2.2 XP, you can add subwoofers to an existing High End speaker |
| system for substantial sonic improvements. Preferably, the subwoofers should be |
| placed in the corners behind the main speakers. Corner placement of the sub- |
| woofers will yield much higher efficiency with significantly reduced |
| distortion. But more importantly, the transfer of energy from the sub to the listening |
| position will be much more direct, resulting in vastly improved impulse response. |
| The room correction system will easily compensate for the frequency response |
| variations of the subs introduced by corner placement. It will delay the main |
| speakers for perfect time alignment to within 1/8 of an inch. |
| The RCS 2.2 XP offers you the opportunity to add subwoofers to a system and |
| improve the transient response tremendously at the same. This contrasts sharply |
| with the normal result of adding subwoofers to a system: slow – undefined bass |
| with lots of frequency and time behavior problems. If the separate subwoofer |
| outputs are not used, then the RCS 2.2X will use all the processing power on the main |
| speakers. |
