Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of your RCS 2.2X. You have now acquired the most advanced stereo Preamplifier / Room Correction System ever developed!

The RCS 2.2X 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 features and a more user-friendly interface takes TacT Audio’s room correction to new heights. The RCS 2.2X has no noise and extremely low distortion, yielding 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.

TacT room correction technology has 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 found in the original RCS 2.0.

One of the most exciting features of the RCS 2.2X is its separate subwoofer output. The RCS 2.2X 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 sub-woofer(s) with the main speakers in the time domain and in the frequency domain, for completely seamless integration surpassing even the best single-box systems.

With the RCS 2.2X, 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 subwoofers will yield much higher efficiency with significantly reduced low-frequency 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 2.2X 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.

RCS 2.2X specifications

TacT Audio, a pioneering name in the audiophile community, has made significant waves with its innovative product: the RCS 2.2X. This digital room correction system is designed to take your audio experience to a new level, making it a must-have for anyone serious about optimizing sound reproduction in their listening environment.

At the heart of the RCS 2.2X is its state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology. This advanced processing capability allows the device to analyze the acoustic characteristics of your room and adjust the audio output accordingly. By using sophisticated algorithms, the RCS 2.2X can correct frequency response deviations caused by room acoustics, ensuring that you experience your music exactly as the artist intended.

One of the standout features of the RCS 2.2X is its ability to provide customized room correction. Unlike many other systems that offer a one-size-fits-all solution, the RCS 2.2X tailors its corrections based on precise measurements taken from your specific listening environment. Utilizing a calibrated microphone, the system performs a series of measurements and graphically represents the room's acoustic challenges. This personalized approach results in a dramatically improved audio experience, with clearer highs, tighter bass, and a more immersive soundstage.

The RCS 2.2X supports high-resolution audio formats, including 24-bit/192kHz PCM, enhancing its compatibility with various digital sources. It features multiple digital and analog inputs, allowing for seamless integration into existing audio setups. This flexibility ensures that both modern and traditional audiophiles can benefit from the enhanced sound quality provided by this device.

In addition to its room correction capabilities, the RCS 2.2X boasts a powerful crossover function that enables users to create multi-channel audio setups with ease. This feature is particularly useful for home theater enthusiasts looking to optimize the performance of their surround sound systems.

Moreover, the RCS 2.2X includes an easy-to-use interface. It provides a user-friendly setup process, making it accessible even for those who may not be technically inclined. The ability to view real-time frequency response graphs further enhances user engagement and understanding of the acoustic adjustments being made.

In summary, the TacT Audio RCS 2.2X is a groundbreaking tool designed to elevate audio quality through advanced digital room correction technology. With its customizable corrections, high-resolution audio support, and versatile connectivity options, it stands out as a leader in the audio enhancement landscape. Whether you're a casual listener or a seasoned audiophile, the RCS 2.2X promises to redefine your listening experience, making every note and nuance resonate like never before.
