DSP & CONVERSION
The final, “secret sauce” of our loudspeakers is our proprietary, in-house DSP deployment and
calibration technology, which MkII improves even further. Each loudspeaker now features a
dedicated 5th generation SHARC+ DSP, providing 4x the computing power of our previous
generation, as well as flagship AKM AK4493 and AK5572 based discrete conversion. As the
final step in production, a unique, serial number specific measurement and calibration is applied
to each loudspeaker, linearizing the frequency response to +/- 1db, and the phase response to
+/- 15° across the entire specified range. This in turn means that any two speakers of a given
model will always act as a matched pair. Finally, the newly available compute headroom has
allowed us to improve the precision of our calibration code to a point where our loudspeakers
can accurately reproduce square wave and single cycle impulses, even at the crossovers.
SECTION 3: INITIAL SETUP
UNBOXING
Inside each box you should find:
● One Loudspeaker
● One 6 foot IEC cable
Please observe the following steps to safely unpack your loudspeaker:
1.
Begin by placing the box sideways with the widest side down.
2.
Cut the tape from the bottom of the box.
3.
Fold the bottom box flaps against the rest of the box, tucking the flap that is towards the floor
underneath the box.
4.
Stand the speaker back up on the now open bottom of the box.
5.
Lift the box away from the speaker and foam inside.
6.
Remove the top foam insert to release the edge of the front foam insert protecting the drivers.
7.
Carefully remove the front foam insert from the bottom insert.
8. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE TWEETER!
(
While our new Composite Sound Metamodal

diaphragms are fairly mechanically robust, physical damage resulting from a strike will
result in a replacement charge, as it will not be covered under your warranty.)
