Real Sound CONEQ APEC-2PRO Acoustic Power EQ
Provides two channels of CONEQ™ high-resolution, EQ-correction based on acoustic power frequency response. Unlike conventional SPL frequency-response techniques, CONEQ enables inverse FIR filter corrections to be applied with repeatable success. Following the measurement process, which takes about two minutes, CONEQ synthesizes a 4,096-point inverse filter that precisely corrects the loudspeaker's frequency response to a flat target response or to a specific "personality profile" that can be anything the user requires. SRP: $2,999. AES Booth #669, Room 3D07.

Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizer
The Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizer™ is a floating nearfield monitor platform that eliminates disruptive resonant coupling from the loudspeaker to the stand, while reducing the recoil caused by the forward energy of the loudspeaker motion. By reducing this backward recoil energy as the speaker coil pushes energy forward, initial waveform transients no longer suffer lag and the sharpness of the resulting pulse is more defined. The result is said to offer greater detail at all frequencies, tighter bottom-end and improved depth of field. Its offered in various sizes/weights to address different speaker designs and may be ordered in both standard and custom angles to aim the loudspeakers for critical listening. Retail: $99/each. AES booth #729.
