INTRODUCTION 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 CAUTION CAUTION am

Introduction Modular design The internal layout of the RCS 2.2 XP is completely modular. All of the expensive components such as DSP’s, D/A and A/D converters are a plug-in type and are placed on a motherboard. This allows for easy and inexpensive future upgrades. Even the rear-panel, including the sockets, can be exchanged to accommodate future interfaces. The front-panel and DSP’s are 100% software driven, and improvements or new True Upgradeability features can be loaded through the RS23

DYNAMIC ROOM CORRECTION Dynamic Room Correction (DRC) ® is new technology developed by Tact Audio Inc. over past two years. This groundbreaking brings the science and art of Room Correction, and specifi cally Tact room correction products, to yet another level. When we introduced our fi rst RCS system (the Tact-2.2 in the late 90’s) we were fully aware that we were embarking on a long term research process in the new exciting fi eld of room acoustics correction. As a result of this research ef

Traditional Tact room correction systems use one target curve that allows for full range 20-20,000 Hz room corrections. Once selected, the same target curve (same set of correction fi lters) was used at all listening levels. This approach did not take in account the fact that our sound perception, as described by Fletcher- Munson curves, is frequency and level dependent. Many of our customers have realized this fact and they have used the nine correction presets (available on all our RCS pr

AUTOMATIC ROOM CORRECTION Tact-2.2 XP can now perform room correction automatically from the 2.2 XP front panel user interface, without the need for an PC software. The automatic room correction feature is designed to perform the entire room cor- rection process without using a PC interface. The Tact-2.2 XP has suffi cient DSP processing power to perform room measurement, crossover fi lter design, target curve generation and correction fi lter calculation. The entire process is controlled CAUT

DELAY. If you do not want to be in the room while measurement is in progress, set this parameter to a few seconds to allow you to exit the room. For example, if DELAY = 10 the system will wait for 10 seconds before it starts pulsing. PULSE. This parameter sets the relative level of the output measurement pulse. Minimum level is 1% and maximum level is 100%. FILE. Use this option to assign a File number to the measurement you are just about to perform. At the end of the measurement process,
