How do you mitigate inherent passive crossover faults in loudspeakers? How to make your classic, well-loved passive loudspeakers active? How do you minimise room acoustic issues without changing the living space you love? Simple answer is – you add a DEQX. The premise is not simple and the engineering is certainly not simple but the new Generation 4 DEQX Speaker and Room Processor line is designed to be every-day simple. It simply improves sound.
Design your own crossover filters in your current speakers and make a passive crossover active using the DEQX. Or simply correct issues in the passive crossover in frequency and group delay by adding the DEQX into your existing HiFi setup as a preamp. Kim also explains the new revolutionary amplifier technology with the AMPY3, an amplifier that can be bolted to the back of the loudspeaker and featuring high-end Purifi modules.
Kim Ryrie, currently designs and engineers the revolutionary DEQX products. In a previous life, Kim changed the world of music by inventing the Fairlight Synthesizer. Kim goes deep into the creation and engineering of the DEQX concept, timing alignment, phase linearity, impulse responses, crossover errors, room measurements and more. Become a “DEQXpert” with Kim Ryrie, Andrew Hutchison and Brad Serhan.

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THIS EPISODE
“With DEQX many of our users do a DIY – they will buy an affordable active speaker of any kind and by-pass the crossover in favour of using the DEQX OR if you find an old pair of passive speakers… a pair of classics – 2 of our 3 DEQX products can correct the speaker for the room and measure the room for the speaker as a preamp set up…”
“The new AMPY3 amplifier..can be bolted to the back of a speaker and wire directly to the speaker..”
“Advantages of active loudspeakers are immense… but shunned a little bit by customers and dealers. Why, I don’t know because you can just plug them into the wall like a vacuum cleaner and connect up a cable of any audio integrated amp..”
“The whole point of Generation 4 is it’s simpler to use in every way and a measurement microphone comes with the DEQX product.“
