and include power ful DSP engines to allow us to control all of the various parameters of the

speakers. We accomplished this with the development of the DP-2000, a completely new

digital/programmable amplifier. 

The DP-2000 digital/programmable amplifier manages the entire system with 16

channels of DSP and amplification. Each channel controls the crossover, time alignment,

equalization and delivers 250-watts of amplification  to each individual driver (woofer,

midrange, and tweeter). Each subwoofer has its own internal 500-watt amplifier. To keep up

with the resolution and dynamics of the amplifiers we designed all new woofers made of a

three layer composite of glass fiber/nomex honeycomb/glass fiber, which is ver y light yet

extremely rigid.  By using digital control in a bi- and tri-amplified configuration we are able to

achieve previously unreachable levels of accuracy and per formance. 

Each dARTS system is custom-programmed, and leaves our factor y software-tuned

with each speaker matching a target response cur ve, and each other, within an inaudible

+/- 0.5dB.

The Room

- In order to have predictable results in any room we partnered with Audyssey

Laboratories, who invented a computerized system called MultEQ XT. MultiEQ XT analyzes a

room's acoustics from multiple locations and based on the measurements, calculates an

equalization solution that corrects for both time and frequency response problems

throughout the listening area. This is the first viable solution for equalizing multiple seating

areas and having them all sound virtually the same.

The Installation

- When your trained dARTS installer sets up the dARTS system in your

room, he uses his laptop running the MultEQ XT software with a calibrated microphone and

digital inter face to measure the acoustic properties of your room throughout the listening

area. The acoustic properties of your room are then used to create a set of custom

correction filters which are uploaded into the DP-2000. The result is a sound reproduction

system that's per fectly matched and is restored to its target response cur ve, just as it was

when it left our lab. This per formance can be achieved in virtually any type of room - large

or small, bright or absorbent, open or enclosed - so you are assured of realistic, dynamic

sound throughout YOUR listening area.

The Result

- Phase Technology has developed a completely closed-loop system, where we

knew from the ver y start how the system should sound in your room. Through digital

technology we made it happen. No other manufacturer in the world can provide this amount

of control over the entire process, and the results are clearly audible. Your “sweet spot” now

becomes the whole seating area!
