AudioControl DQDX

For over two decades, AudioControl has been designing and manufacturing award-winning auto sound products at our factory located in the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. During this period, countless sound-off winning contestants have chosen AudioControl products to give them the competitive edge. "Can you really win without AudioControl", was part of an article written commenting on competition winning systems? Nothing sounds better than an awesome recording played back on a kick-butt system. Unfortunately, the acoustics of your vehicle can take away from your system's performance. While AudioControl products do not change the laws of physics (although they act as they do), auto sound enthusiasts have long known that AudioControl products "make a good stereo sound better"

Putting the driver in perfect acoustical alignment definitely has its challenges in a vehicle. In-home audio, it is generally pretty easy to just move a speaker forward or backward or to the left or to the right to help make sure you hear both speakers at the same time. In a vehicle, we are typically stuck with the speaker locations that the vehicle manufactures have supplied us with. This usually creates a whole slew of issues when you add amplifier power, new speakers, and subwoofers. This is why signal delay and equalization are so critical. Equalization helps match all your new components together so they sound great and signal delay helps all that great sound arrive at you, the driver at the same time!

Designed for maximum sound quality and enhanced audio performance, the DQDX is the latest AudioControl processor to incorporate Signal Delay. This process corrects for the varying speaker locations in the vehicle.

The AudioControl DQDX lets music enthusiasts truly "take control" of their sound and receive an amazing experience.

Signal Delay:

Because of speaker placement limitations and the seating positions in a car, it is almost always the case that the driver of the vehicle is in an incorrect acoustic alignment. This exists because the driver is close to the left side speakers and further away from the right side speakers. Thus, the sound from the left side arrives much sooner than the right side. By delaying the appropriate speakers for just a few milliseconds, the DQ-61 is able to allow the signal to arrive at the same time putting the driver in perfect acoustical alignment.

Equalization for Maximum Control and Performance:

Like all of AudioControl's high-performance signal processors, the DQ-61 is designed to offer maximum audio performance and control. All six output channels are equipped with highly accurate graphic equalization filters. This equalization allows for the taming of the most demanding car acoustical challenges or correction of factory radio response curves.

24 dB / octave Linkwitz-Riley crossover:

The AudioControl DQDX uses a 24 dB / octave Linkwitz-Riley alignment crossover to separate the bass frequencies from the midrange and high frequencies. The crossover in the DQDX gives you a flat response without any peak or dip around the crossover frequency. In addition, the 24dB crossover makes the transition without the phase irregularities you get in most other configurations. The crossover selector is exact so it completely eliminates the guesswork during the installation.

High Voltage Line Driver:

The high voltage, low impedance outputs make a huge difference in how your system's amplifiers will perform. First, the high voltage pre-out means your amplifier can reach full power without having to turn up the amplifier's input gain controls. This means you get more volume with less noise and less distortion. At AudioControl they are all about "Making Good Sound Great" and with the built-in Line Driver in the DQDX you will be sending the best possible quality signal into your amplifiers.
