Introduction
Congratulations
on your purchase of the
AudioControl HPX, the world’s first in-dash processor/
crossover with High Definition Expansion (HDE), a special
circuit to increase the perceptual size on any audio system.
This makes the HPX an ideal product for any system that uses
compression technology or perceptual coding software, like
MP3 or MiniDisc. The HDE circuit is also a great answer for
cars with less than ideal speaker locations (which pretty much
means . . . ALL OF THEM). Combined with an
audiophile-quality 24 dB/octave crossover and a high voltage
line driver, the rainforest dwellers of AudioControl have
created an ultimate “one box” solution in the HPX.
What can you expect
Big sound! What more could
you ask for? The HDE circuit within the HPX helps
increase the size of any performance autosound
system. The dynamics of the bass, midbass,
midrange, and high frequencies are all enhanced
thanks to the HDE circuit, providing a sonic
experience like no other. Now that we have
your curiosity tingling, it is time to sit
back, pour yourself a cold one and peruse
through this Owners Enjoyment Manual
for the HPX in-dash processor/crossover.
