INTRODUCTION
Room Correction
System
Congratulations on your purchase of your RCS 2.2 XP. You have now acquired the
most advanced stereo Preamplifi er / Room Correction System ever developed!
The RCS 2.2 XP has four times the processing power of the famous TacT RCS
2.0 and even better AD and DA conversion. This now combined with new fea-
tures and a more user-friendly interface takes TacT Audio’s room correction to
new heights. The RCS 2.2 XP has no noise and extremely low distortion, yielding
amazingly transparent accurate sound. Every eff ort has been made to make this
preamplifi er the best that money can buy. Add to this the latest evolution of TacT
Audio’s room correction technology and the result is absolutely staggering.
TacT room correction technology has been praised by the press all around the
world. Comments like “Wholesale improvement in sound quality” have become
a standard phrase for reviewers describing the results that can be achieved with
TacT’s room correction. Now we have taken room correction technology even
further, not only in terms of processing power, but also in terms of the measure-
ment and correction systems. The measurement is now done with a triple pulse
for each acquisition. This increases the measurement resolution in both the time
and frequency domains. Correction resolution is now four times higher than found
in the original RCS 2.0.
One of the most exciting features of the RCS 2.2 XP is its separate subwoofer
output. The RCS 2.2X P can be used with one or (preferably) two subwoofers. An
electronic crossover can be set with a frequency between 60 and 400 Hz and a
slope between 12 dB/octave and 60 dB/octave to split the audio signal between
the main and subwoofer outputs. The correction software aligns the sub-woofer(s)
with the main speakers in the time domain and in the frequency domain, for com-
pletely seamless integration surpassing even the best single-box systems.
With the RCS 2.2 XP, you can add subwoofers to an existing High End speaker
system for substantial sonic improvements. Preferably, the subwoofers should be
placed in the corners behind the main speakers. Corner placement of the sub-
woofers will yield much higher effi ciency with signifi cantly reduced low-frequency
distortion. But more importantly, the transfer of energy from the sub to the listening
position will be much more direct, resulting in vastly improved impulse response.
The room correction system will easily compensate for the frequency response
variations of the subs introduced by corner placement. It will delay the main
speakers for perfect time alignment to within 1/8 of an inch.
The RCS 2.2 XP off ers you the opportunity to add subwoofers to a system and
improve the transient response tremendously at the same. This contrasts sharply
with the normal result of adding subwoofers to a system: slow – undefi ned bass
with lots of frequency and time behavior problems. If the separate subwoofer
outputs are not used, then the RCS 2.2X will use all the processing power on the main
speakers.
