FEATURES AND HIGHLIGHTS
Six Channels Of Input and Output: The
DQS is AudioControl’s first digital car audio
equalizer with six input and output channels
making it ideal for a multitude of applications.
Whether you are designing around a source unit
with multiple outputs or you have a full blown
surround sound car theater system, the DQS is the
processor for you.
Input and Output Level Controls: To help
accurately level match your source units and
amplifiers, the DQS has individual input and
output level controls. This will help you maxi-
mize the sound quality of your system and mini-
mize any system noise. These controls will also
help your DQS work with factory installed source
units.
Constant-Q Equalization Controls: Car
interiors vary widely in size and acoustic make-
up. Doors, kick-panels, and rear decks don’t make
the best location for speaker placement causing
your high performance speaker system to sound
somewhat lackluster. The DQS offers thirty precise
one-third octave equalization controls per chan-
nel for a total of 180 filters!
Parametric Equalization Controls: In
addition to offering thirty, one-third octave
controls, the DQS also packs two, fully-adjustable
parametric equalization controls for each pair of
channels. With the DQS’s parametric controls you
can select a center frequency, dial in the ideal
bandwidth and apply the appropriate amount of
boost or cut. The precise filtering of the DQS
allows you to select bandwidths as narrow as 1/12
octave!
Non-volatile Memories: The DQS has the
ability to allow the user to set and store up to
eight different system equalization settings in
individual memory locations.
24-bit Digital Signal Processing:
AudioControl’s digital signal processors use a
special 24-bit DSP (digital signal processor) that
was specifically designed for equalization and
other dynamics processing. Matching 24-bit A/D -
D/A converters are also incorporated for maxi-
mum sound quality.
