Legacy Audio Wavelet DAC/Preamp/Crossover for Non-Legacy Speaker Models

Description

The Legacy Audio Wavelet is a control preamp, a
high-end DAC, a 2/3/4-way digital crossover with time alignment and
a speaker correction system that will literally “learn” your room.

THIS WAVELET IS TO BE USED WITH NON-LEGACY AUDIO SPEAKER MODELS

In an ideal world you would hear the music exactly as it was
intended to be heard. But rooms are not perfect and resonances play
havoc below 500Hz. The Wavelet processor will analyze your room and
make the calculations to reduce resonant energy as late
as 40msecs. The improvement in tonal balance and pitch defnition
is not subtle.

Already have a favorite DAC with a volume control? How about
a big vinyl collection? Analog lovers can take advantage of balanced XLR
or unbalanced RCA inputs without concern of digital artifacts. An
apodizing circuit corrects for the the pre-ringing native to CODECs.
Wavelet has adequate headroom to handle these higher level signals
while functioning as a crossover and compensating for room
resonances. Wavelet processes at 56 bits of depth in a domain more than
one trillion times finer in resolution than that of a standard CD.

The Wavelet is by design upgradable. The unit can download
firmwareupdates directly when you choose.

Setup is simple, and the Wavelet is easily controlled with
the included App that runs in your iPad/iPhone/Android or other smart device.
Wavelet comes with a precision calibrated microphone and a wifi adapter that
allows you to work wirelessly with the Wavelet.

Wavelet easily integrates in any system.

Analog Inputs

Two pairs of Stereo balanced inputs on XLR connectors. Input
sensitivity without attenuation 0 dBFS*1 = 1 dBV*2, input impedance 20 kOhm. 

Two pairs of Stereo unbalanced inputs on RCA connectors.

Input sensitivity without attenuation 0 dBFS*1 = 1 dBV*2

Input impedance 100 kOhm.

Analog attenuation available in three steps of -3 dB, -6 dB
and -12 dB for an input sensitivity of respectively 0 dBFS = 4 dBV, 7 dBV or
12dBV. 

One XLR Measurement microphone input, 48 Vdc Phantom power.
