Equator Audio Research Equator Room Analysis Software with Mic Calibration Kit
The Equator Room Analyzer (Automated Room Response Compensation/Secondary Reflection Correction) software and microphone package puts fully automated control of your speakers at your fingertips. Featuring a series of proprietary algorithms for the analysis, room correction, and compensation for a room's tonal response characteristics, the SRC software—in combination with a specialized calibrated microphone (included)—measures each speaker and makes adjustments to optimize and EQ the speaker's response for specified listening positions in the room. Stereo, 2.1, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 and 8.2 monitoring configurations can be quickly and easily optimized and saved. You can even create multi-position configurations, so the engineer can monitor properly at the mix position, and the band can listen accurately and comfortably from the control room couch. But that's just the start.Reflected waves bouncing off your console or your video monitor are the bane of just about every recording musician on the planet. These secondary reflections can cause frequency dips and comb filtering in the critical 800Hz—3KHz range, giving you a skewed tonal picture and wreaking serious havoc with your stereo imaging. These acoustic nuances are of the main reasons that music mixes leave recording studios with buried vocals, harsh guitars, and other sonic unpleasantries.The Secondary Reflection Correction software identifies, then digitally corrects these reflections. So when you listen to your mix on a Q monitor, you're hearing pure, uncolored, and totally unobstructed sound....details

Equator Audio Research Q Series Q8 Coaxial Reference Monitor
Measuring a mere 13" x 13" x 13" and featuring an 8" woofer coupled with a high-powered, 1" compression horn driver, the Equator Q8 Reference Monitor delivers the power and accuracy of their larger Q Series models, but in a more compact form. A 2-way active system, the Q8 enclosure is constructed of 13-ply Baltic birch and is heavily braced for cabinet rigidity.All Q Series monitor speakers feature a Zero Point Reference coaxial design with Digitally Controlled Transducers. The CPU that resides inside each Equator monitor handles a host of formidable tasks, including matching the transducers as well as seamlessly incorporating the system's crossover approach. This unique no-slope crossover approach reduces the mid-range distortion commonly associated with conventional coaxial designs to facilitate highly accurate, natural sounding mid-range reproduction that is never harsh.The Equator Audio Q Series monitors also benefit from cutting-edge Digital Signal Processing technology that helps mix engineers ensure their room is optimized for accurate monitoring. Included with every Equator Q Series monitor is a software application that enables a mix engineer to manually compensate for acoustic anomalies such as issues created by speaker placement and boundary conditions within the listening environment. Along with the environmental compensation, this included software also provides extraordinary control over the monitors, including equalization, mute, solo, and phase....details
