DSPeaker Anti-Mode 8033S-II 2 In / 1 Out Audio Processor

Description The DSPeaker Anti-Mode 8033S-II audio processor provides automated subwoofer equalisation for integrated amplifiers and preamplifiers with stereo preamp outputs, to maximise the performance of your subwoofer and mitigate the negative effects of the room’s acoustics. A typical listening room resonates at low frequencies. Because of this, even the best subwoofer may not sound as good as it could. Much of the audio content gets masked by the resonances, introducing unwanted characteristics such as “slowness” and “boominess” to the sound. This problem is most pronounced when a subwoofer is placed close to the walls or corners of the room. DSPeaker’s Golden Ear awarded Anti-Mode™ technology eliminates the resonances of the speaker and the room by equalising both amplitude and time domain responses using accurate digital filter structures and anti-phasing technology. This way, the listener can hear frequencies down to the cut-off frequency of the subwoofer. Transient response is also drastically improved in the process, making bass sound faster and more controlled. Anti-Mode 8033 is very simple to use. The calibration process is completely automatic. It generates frequency sweeps to the desired calibration point (or multiple points) and measures the combined transfer function of the subwoofer / room system.  Anti-Mode 8033 utilises regular RCA connectors, which can be found on the vast majority of home audio equipment. Input to the device is taken from the line level output of a preamplifier or integrated amplifier. Output is connected to the line level input of the subwoofer. The DSPeaker 8033S-II audio processor provides standard stereo RCA inputs which are mixed internally to create a mono signal for the subwoofer. It has two RCA outputs, both of which carry essentially the same mono signal, but with 0 degree relative phase on one output and 180 degree relative phase on the other.
