DSPeaker Anti-mode X4 flagship pre-amp


The DSPeaker Anti-Mode™ X4 combines an uncompromising selection of audio components with more than a decade of expertise in sound reproduction and signal processing. It has been designed with a single purpose in mind: to make your speakers truly shine - in your home, in your unique acoustic environment.
Automatic calibration process improves the clarity and detail of your stereo speakers. Connect one or two subwoofers for extended bass with seamless integration and no acoustic issues.
The interaction between speakers and room is the main performance limiting factor for any high-end audio system. Each listening room introduces errors that can be on the order of a dozen decibels or even more. These errors are most pronounced in the bass and lower midrange, where classical acoustic processing is limited.

  • Versatile connectivity, connect up to 10 digital and analog audio sources
  • Support for up to 4 subwoofers (in "0.4" configuration)
  • Built-in headphone amplifier, including optional DSP-uralization
  • Patented automatic THD-optimizing digital crossover
  • Plug and play: no expert knowledge required for calibration and use


The idea of the industry-leading automated Anti-Mode room calibration is simple: to make the speakers and subwoofers work with the room, instead of clashing with it. The benefits of the Anti-Mode correction include significantly improved clarity, tighter and deeper bass response, no unwanted 'boominess' and a seamless integration of main speakers and subwoofers.

The installation procedure is automated. Anyone can achieve great results without any prior knowledge. After a short calibration process, Anti-Mode™ knows your listening space in detail and designs customized filters tuned for your unique space. You may be very surprised to hear what your speakers are really capable of!
Anti-Mode X4 covers a wide range of usage scenarios, from the traditional "2.0" configuration with two speakers to more exotic installations with a number of subwoofers and optimizations for multiple listening locations. The best crossover frequency is automatically determined for speakers and subwoofers.

In addition to the automatic correction, the user has full control over comprehensive tone controls and customized filters. The desired sound signature can be changed even in real time, conveniently from the listening position. Various settings can be stored in memory for quick recall at any time. Most functions can be accessed using the supplied aluminum remote control or using the control wheel on the front panel.
There is a modern, easy-to-use graphical user interface. Room response diagrams can be inspected in detail without the need for personal computers or other additional equipment. A built-in graphic design tool is included for all types of audio enhancements.

Three advanced stereo DACs (digital-to-analog converters) drive the primary, auxiliary and headphone outputs. Combined with output range control and the selection of the best converters using an IC tester, the XLR outputs achieve 126 dB of dynamic range and less than 0.0008% total harmonic distortion. Both the primary and outputs are active simultaneously for speakers and subwoofer, and are available in both XLR and RCA versions. The signal from the primary output is also provided as optical and coaxial SPDIF.

The headphone output is available for night listening and when you don't want to disturb your household or neighbors. The headphone mode features a proprietary auralization technology that can make many recordings sound more natural and reduce listening fatigue.
Two analog RCA inputs and a pair of XLR inputs provide low SNR+THD of -104 dB. No matter what audio source you connect, you can select the input control range to get full performance. A total of six SPDIF inputs and the USB Audio 2.0 input support up to 192 kHz and DSD64/DSD128 (on USB).
Power consumption in standby mode is only 0.5W, saving both money and the environment.

Buy&Try applies to the entire Aune, Auralic, Quadral, Sbooster & Taga range.

Buy & try gives you as a customer the opportunity to try out the product in your own home environment, instead of standing in a stressful store and trying to form an opinion. Rooms behave very differently and affect the sound in different ways and we give you the opportunity to demo the product for a full 30 days, in your own home.

 

If for some reason you feel dissatisfied, just contact us and we will help you with the return shipping, you can also take advantage of our shipping agreements with lower prices. Costs that will be charged to the customer are the shipping to the customer and the return shipping to us at MYC HiFi. For return approval, the item must be returned in new condition and in the original packaging.

 

Regarding speakers, be aware that speakers may need a long recording time to come into their own. After a couple of hours you can usually get a taste of what to expect, but a speaker deserves 100h+ before serious listening. The speakers we sell with ribbon tweeters need several hundred hours before they start to sing. So feel free to leave the speakers on around the clock so you can quickly accumulate hours.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us.
