DEQX HDP-3

DEQX reference quality HDP3 preamp processor is aimed at the audiophile and professional seeking the ultimate DEQX implementation. 

Based on the same ground breaking features provided by the acclaimed PDC2.6P, the HDP-3 provides further analogue transparency in a new larger chassis with analogue power supplies and further enhanced circuitry. The HDP-3 is a stereo digital processor offering patented speaker and room correction technology. When connected to a PC running software, the HDP-3 allows you to measure and correct your main speakers and subwoofers using its largely automated wizard-driven measurement, analysis, and correction software Multiple HDP-3 unit can connected together for multi-channel surround configurations such as 4.2 and 5.1 to 7.7 configurations. 

For Home Theatre use, it is possible use only one HDP3 to correct front Left and Right plus subwoofers only, where most soundtrack music is provided. The HDP3 can automatically select its digital input when it senses a stereo PCM output from a stereo CD or DVD player (up to 24-bit 96kHz), defaulting to its analogue input for front left/right film soundtrack playback. The Preamp features of the HDP-3 include six digitally controlled analogue volume controls that allow the DACs to operate at their maximum resolution at low listening levels. The remote control provides volume control, input selection, four different speaker and room correction profile selections, and Lo, Mid, Hi, tone controls where the mid control provides a fully parametric EQ band. 100 tone control settings can be saved and recalled from the remote control The industry leading SHARC 32-bit floating point DSPs from Analogue devices combined with DEQX software contribute less than 0.0001% distortion and noise. 

The HDP-3 contains improved power supplies and analogue electronics to preserve the system digital processing transparency to audiophile requirements. If you are not utilizing the services of a DEQX installer and intend to measure and correct your speakers and room yourself you will need either the Standard Calibration Kit or Reference Calibration Kit. For very high end response & correction (as distinct from room correction), it is recommended to use the Reference Calibration Kit that provides the Earthworks microphone. The Standard Calibration Kit proving the Beringher microphone has a 20 kHz high-end correction limit; the HDP3 however will pass up to 40 kHz.  Price includes shipping from Australia and surface shipping in the USA.
