Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike basic EQ, Precision Alignment uses IIR filters and a global balance to shape the sound, providing a more nuanced and accurate correction based on acoustic measurements.
While powerful, their directivity and output level mean they're best suited for medium to larger rooms; smaller spaces may require careful placement and attenuation.
It allows for precise time alignment of multiple monitor systems, crucial for surround sound or immersive audio applications ensuring all speakers are perfectly synchronized.
