The ultimate DEQX HD-Active™ preamp processor for active speakers. Now capable of stereo 4-way in a single chassis.

The Pre-8 has all of the Pre-4’s features but includes DEQX-HD-Active crossovers. It provides digital output options for all channels and can also be used with passive speakers.

Features

Introducing the DEQX Cloud

The DEQX Gen4 processors interface over the network to the DEQX Cloud™. The result is intuitive, cross-platform, zero-install speaker calibration and room correction.

Stunning audio performance

An ESS Sabre Pro ADC and DAC embedded in our custom circuitry and ultra-low noise power supplies deliver –115 dB THD+N (preliminary) from analog input to analog output. Our most transparent audio processor ever.

Unlocking next-gen performance

DEQX Gen4 massively surpasses our previous models in processing horsepower. A powerful hexacore ARM processor delivers higher time-domain resolution and better low-frequency phase resolution.

Unsurpassed usability

We've refocused on hardware usability, with a carefully selected set of features for each model, a large volume control with LED readout and 5.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen with customised glass front.
