DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core
899,00€ Inc. VAT
The perfect choice for various two-channel systems, such as active speakers and/or two subwoofers. Could be used also with 2.1 systems. Studio-grade full-bandwidth room correction and preamplifier with multi-band parametric equalizer and adjustable filters, and much more. Also features a high quality DAC. RCA, and balanced XLR connections. Based on the award-winning Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core DSP architecture.
The Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core is designed for two-channel systems, delivering studio-grade room correction in a compact, easy-to-use form. It combines a high-resolution DAC, preamp, and full-range room correction—ideal for active speakers and high-fidelity stereo setups.
Built around the refined Anti-Mode 2.0 algorithm and a dual-core DSP architecture (VS8053 “IceDragon”), Dual Core performs simultaneous real-time correction and analysis, allowing precise optimization across the entire frequency range. It measures the acoustic response of your speakers and room, applies digital filters to correct resonances and timing errors, and restores natural clarity and balance to the sound.
Connectivity is extensive, with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs, optical and coaxial S/PDIF, USB Audio, and Toslink digital output, making it easy to integrate into both studio and home setups.
The TFT display and remote control provide direct access to EQ, target curves, and system profiles.
Calibration is fully automatic: connect the supplied microphone, start the measurement, and let the Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core optimize your speakers and room in minutes, fine tune if necessary: The Dual Core allows the user to make as many as sixteen “parametric” EQ filters.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
- New, improved Anti-Mode 2.0 automatic room correction algorithm*
- Can be used as a locally clocked high quality jitter-free DAC
- Supports USB audio as well as S/PDIF input/output via optical toslink
- Dual balanced ADCs to deliver the highest level of audio performance that meets the expectations of the most demanding audiophiles
- Dual (one per channel) balanced DACs with jitter free operation (local crystal), oversampling to 6144 kHz, DSP buffering and filtering
- Can be used as a high quality pre-amp with remote controlled volume
- Analog resistor network volume controller to ensure full digital precision
- Extensive sound customization options, including quick house curve design tool, linear-phase full spectrum tilt, several parametric EQs
- Supports several sound profiles (e.g. independent ”sweet spots” and/or equalizer settings), quickly switchable with the remote controller
- Friendly graphical user interface, very easy to set-up and operate
- Ability to measure and display room responses on a built-in 262k-color display
- ”Pure digital” mode using S/PDIF input & output: signal is processed in the digital domain all the way (S/PDIF output resolution is independent from input)
- Digital signals are re-aligned for jitter-free operation
- Versatile connectivity: insert Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core between your existing pre-amp and power amplifier or powered speakers or utilize the processor loop or tape loop of your integrated amplifier - or use it as a standalone DAC / preamp!
Review Highlights
“An amazing device capable of providing the solution that everybody seek to achieve the best sound quality of their systems”
(Home Cinema Choice, Jan 2011)
“The DualCore really opens up a world of possibilities… and a sonic wonder.”
(Absolute Sound, Mar 2013)
“This is one of those over-achieving stereo components for which many of us scour equipment reviews.”
(DH Audio and Home Theater)
“The automatic calibration works with simply sensational precision. The additional filter options are extremely diverse. And thanks to the small, clear display, it's easy to use. An unreserved recommendation.“
