MASTERS COLLECTION

Wavelet 2 DAC / Preamp / Processor

The Legacy Audio Wavelet 2 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.

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 definition 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 2 has
adequate headroom to handle these higher level signals while functioning as a
crossover and compensating for room resonances. Wavelet processes at 64
bits of depth in a domain more than one trillion times finer in resolution than
that of a standard CD.

The Wavelet 2 is by design upgradable. The unit can download
firmware updates directly when you choose.

Setup is simple, and the Wavelet 2 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 Wi-Fi adapter that
allows you to work wirelessly with the Wavelet.

Wavelet 2 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.
