Who Will Love the DQ-61?

Signal Delay

Because of speaker placement limitations and the seating positions in a car, it is almost always

the case that the driver of the vehicle is in an incorrect acoustic alignment. This exists because

the driver is close to the left side speakers and further away from the right side speakers. Thus,

the sound from the left side arrives much sooner than the right side. By delaying the appropriate

speakers for just a few milliseconds, the DQ-61 is able to allow the signal to arrive at the same

time putting the driver in perfect acoustical alignment.

AccuBASS

To protect OEM speakers, car manufactures often limit the

bass frequencies at higher volumes. AudioControl has

developed a patent pending circuit called AccuBASS

circuit

to compensate for this factory roll-off. The AccuBASS

circuit

automatically engages at a preset volume level and reverses

the factory bass roll-off to give you the music the way the

artist intended it to be heard.

Speaker Level Inputs with Selectable Summing

The DQ-61 is equipped with six high-impedance speaker

level inputs that allow it to accept amplified signals from

any factory installed amplifier, even Bose. Unlike an

inexpensive passive line output converter, the DQ-61 offers

the highest possible sound quality and performance.

Equalization for Maximum Control and Performance

Like all of AudioControl’s high performance signal processors, the DQ-61 is designed to

offer maximum audio performance and control. All six output channels are equipped with

highly accurate graphic equalization filters. This equalization allows for the taming of the most

demanding car acoustical challenges or correction of factory radio response curves.

Why do you need Signal Delay (or an Equalizer for that matter) Putting the driver in perfect acoustical alignment definitely has its challenges in a vehicle. In home audio it is generally easy to just move a speaker forward or backward or left to right to help with acoustical alignment. In a vehicle we are typically stuck with the speaker locations that the vehicle manufacturer has supplied us with and this usually creates a whole slew of issues when you add amplifier power, new speakers, and subwoofers.
