Equator Audio Research Q15

Equator Audio Research announced that the Automated Room Response Calibration Software featuring the Secondary Reflection Correction will now be included on a CDROM packaged with every Q15 reference monitor.
This 15" two-way coaxial monitor ($3000 each) has a 4" voice coil for the large driver and uses a horn loaded 1.3" titanium dome rear firing compression driver.

Equator says it believes that the single most important position in the control room is the engineer’s seat. By placing a small diaphragm Omni-directional condenser test mic at that position the Equator Automated Room Response Calibration Software is supposedly able to evaluate exactly what is sonically occurring at that spot. The host computer calculates and then sends compensation data back to each speakers internal CPU so that each speaker in turn delivers the appropriate audio. An enormous amount of processing power is incorporated: multiple filters are available to compensate for each speakers boundary condition, location, existing room nodes and other EQ issues as well as time based secondary reflection comb filter phase problems, the company says.

The MAC/PC software resides on the recording computer utilizing that A/D hardware. The Equator Q Series Monitors each feature an internal CPU. On the back of each are a CAT5 in and Thru, a series of dip switch IDs, a USB connection as well as the standard audio inputs. A USB connection from the computer to any of the monitors in a system and a daisy chained CAT5 connection ready the system for room compensation.
