-- Leading-edge
Loudspeaker and Room Correction Technology Employed for Critical
Audio Mastering --
DEQX Pty Limited today announced the sale
of three PDC-2.6 Digital Calibration Processors to the world-renowned
Abbey Road Studios, London. The three DEQX CalibratedT PDC-2.6
processors are configured to improve the room acoustics in
one of Abbey Road's mastering/remastering suites, correcting
low frequency issues while smoothing the overall response and
improving imaging.
 The
suite at Abbey Road was recently upgraded for 5.1 surround
applications with the installation of Dynaudio's Air Series
surround monitors. The three PDC-2.6 units have digital outputs
which feed the Air's directly. There is notable improvement
in transparency and accuracy when the DEQX units are switched
in. Peter Mew, Senior Mastering Engineer at Abbey Road, explains "We
are mainly using DEQX CalibratedT for fine tuning the low frequency
issues of the room because the Dynaudio's already incorporate
internal DSP processing to provide anechoic accuracy."

Commenting on the sale, Kim Ryrie, CEO DEQX
Pty Ltd said "Audio mastering is a demanding
process that requires a high degree of loudspeaker accuracy.
DEQX is the only correction system that allows both anechoic
and room calibration with phase correction and crossovers for
individual drivers if necessary. This allows a consistency
of realism and accuracy that has not been available until now."
