Support and downloads
Here at DEQX, we pride ourselves on our committment to long-term support of our products. The DEQX-Cal software is compatible with all DEQX processors dating back to the original PDC-2.6, and many original DEQX processors have been in the field for well over a decade and continue to be used daily.
User Manual
The DEQX User Manual is a comprehensive guide to installing and connecting up your DEQX. It also includes full details on how to use the DEQX-Cal software. While your initial DEQXpert session will perform your calibration for you, all the information is there for you should you wish to do your own room measurements, or even to recalibrate your speakers yourself.
DEQX-Cal
DEQX-Cal™ is a comprehensive measurement, analysis and configuration program that interfaces with the DEQX hardware unit.
DEQX-Cal can be installed on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows from Window XP through to Windows 10. (An Apple Mac computer can be used if Boot Camp is used to install and run Windows, or a virtual machine emulator such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion is used.)
