DEQX Audio Processors
The new DEQX Gen4 speaker calibration and room correction processors feature an order-of-magnitude improvement in resolution, all-new digital and analog hardware and unparalleled connectivity.
Key features
Introducing the DEQX Cloud
The DEQX Gen4 processors interface over the network to the DEQX Cloud™. The result is intuitive, cross-platform, zero-install speaker calibration and room correction.
Stunning audio performance
An ESS Sabre Pro ADC and DAC embedded in our custom circuitry and ultra-low noise power supplies deliver –115 dB THD+N (preliminary) from analog input to analog output. Our most transparent audio processor ever.
Unlocking next-gen performance
DEQX Gen4 massively surpasses our previous models in processing horsepower. A powerful hexacore ARM processor delivers higher time-domain resolution and better low-frequency phase resolution.
Unsurpassed usability
We've refocused on hardware usability, with a carefully selected set of features for each model, a large volume control with LED readout and 5.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen with customised glass front.

Features and specifications subject to change without notice.
We're sorry, but the PreMATE, PreMATE Plus, HDP-4, HDP-5 and HDP-Express II are no longer available. We are devoting all our energy to bringing the new line out as soon as we can.
All models do. Some models also provide HD-Active™ – the ability to create precise linear phase digital crossovers for the ultimate speaker accuracy.
No. You can use the HD-Active processor for stereo speakers with optionally a subwoofer, and expand to HD-Active later on.
We regularly attend and exhibit at audio shows, including the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Once the Gen4 processors are released, many of our dealers will have one set up for audition.
Yes. As always, we will ensure that existing customers have attractive trade-in offers.
Yes, support for all DEQX products will continue as before. We are proud that we continue to support DEQX products released more than 15 years ago.
