Master the Art of Time
We hear accurately all day long... as long as we’re not listening to loudspeakers. They introduce about ten-times more errors than every component combined in a typical audio or surround system. These are typically frequency-related amplitude errors (frequency response), phase errors (timing delays of various frequency groups), and lack of resolution caused by several types of distortion. Naturally this detracts from the impact, vividness and sense of being-there that all enthusiasts look for, transcending the mechanics of playback so music and video come alive like never before.
Audiophiles audition speakers that claim accurate frequency response and say they’re totally uninvolving. That’s perfectly understandable as up to now accurate frequency response meant huge sums for drivers, crossovers and cabinets, or equalizing the speaker’s frequency response errors which in turn causes frequency group delays that just worsen timing coherence!
DEQX™ technology is unique in correcting frequency-related amplitude and timing errors by delaying “on-time” frequency groups and allowing late-arriving frequency groups to catch up. Audio and surround system open up in a dramatic way when timing and phase are optimized with added room compensation.
The beauty of DEQX is that it makes even modestly-priced speakers sound amazingly like top audiophile brands; an exciting and dramatic upgrade for every system:
- Two-channel and multichannel surround sound
- Professional recording, mastering and broadcast studios
- Equipment designers and manufacturers
- Car audio systems
- DIY speaker builders
Value for Money
Think of DEQX as a free upgrade for your amplifiers too! Play music at much higher volume levels without distortion so you’ll enjoy a dramatically improved sense of sound stage dimension and air, transparency, palpability, and placement of performers.
DEQX works with whatever you’re listening to and results in breathtaking improvements. Just come to Room 525 to hear it with your own ears! Modestly-priced stand-mounted speakers to top-tier audiophile brands all sound better with DEQX.

Origins
DEQX is an Australian company founded in Sydney in the mid-1990's under the name Clarity EQ Pty Ltd. Clarity EQ changed its name to DEQX Pty Limited in May 2003 to better reflect the company’s leading-edge digital loudspeaker correction, crossover and room compensation technology. A world leader in DSP, the company’s unique measurement and calibration/correction algorithms and phase-correct DSP-based crossovers exploit the full potential of floating-point Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for audio. DEQX founders and R&D team have a three-decade history of pioneering digital audio innovation. Recognition of individual achievements includes a special award for Services to Audio from the Audio Engineering Society (AES) based in New York for developing the Sound Sampling Synthesizer and Computer Music Sequencing. Industry commentators have noted: "In the audio engineering world their DSP board must be considered the state-of-the-art, bar none."
DEQX Calibrated™ technology empowers audio and multichannel systems and designers to correct many of the worst problems inherent in all speakers no matter their pedigree. Even the most revered audiophile speakers astonishingly introduce 10-times or more phase and timing errors than the signal driving them! Add to that a myriad of frequency-response, phase and timing errors in a listening area drenched in room reflections and it’s a wonder we hear any detail at all.
DEQX Calibrated™ enables speaker manufacturers to design with a level of accuracy and clarity approaching those of components like amplifiers and CDs where distortion, frequency and phase response shine in comparison to even the most expensive speakers! |
