The
launch of Copland DRC-205 is the world premiere of an
add-on unit for high-end room
correction.
Copland DRC-205 drastically improves the sound reproduction
at the push of a single button.
The
influence of room acoustics has been one of the most
disregarded factors in the pursuit of the perfect sound
experience. In fact, most listening room have serious
acoustic problems degenerating the sound performance.
The
acoustics of the listening room is most likely to be
the weaker link of the hi-fi system. The direct sound
from the loudspeakers is blended with unwanted sounds
from the room. In a typical living room, the standing
waves at room resonance frequency and sound re.ections
easily account for +15dB / -20dB divergence from the
desired audio characteristics, deteriorating the sound
quality from the hi-fi system.
The
DRC-205 analyses and calibrates itself to tonal balance,
a distinct threedimensional sound experience, while
minimizing the rooms in.uence on the sound.
What
is Digital Room Correction?
The invention of Digital Room Correction (DRC) is one of the
most signicant improvements to sound reproduction for decades.
DRC
is an advanced time domain
based technique where complex anti-re.ection signals are generated
to counteract room resonances and room cancellations while
leaving the original sound signal unaltered.
The
Copland DRC-205 is based on the Danish technology provider
Dynaton’s DDRC module. The DDRC module is the key component
of the system, employing a unique scalable room compensation
algorithm without distortion of the original music signal.
Copland
has found the highly complex and patent pending Dynaton algorithms
to be truly superior and recommendable for high end applications.
Operation
The Copland DRC-205 is very easy to operate and does not require
any previous knowledge of room acoustics or audio technology.

Simply
connect the Copland DRC-205 between the signal source
and the amplifer. Plug in the accompanying microphone,
push a single button, and the room will be thoroughly
measured and the entire system optimized within seconds.
The
Copland DRC-205 room correction is now activated.
Besides
the default setting for flat frequency response in
the listening room, alternative prede.ned sound profiles
can be activated by a single push of the select button.
High performance Digital Room Correction
Performance
The diverence between an uncompensated system and one with
Copland DRC-205 is distinct and clearly audible.
•
Minimizing the e.ects of room acoustics
• Natural tonal balance with more
contrast and definition
• Highly improved stereo imaging (3D and depth)
• Real bass response
• Voices are clear and natural
Features
The first impression of the Copland DRC-205 hides the fact
that there are many more possibilities than the user friendly
front panel reveals.
The
predefined sound pro.les will satisfy the vast majority
of music lovers. However, the more demanding users can
store their own sound profiles via a standard Windows
PC.
The
Copland DRC-205 comes with a graphical user interface,
which can be installed from the accompanying CD-rom. By
installation on a standard Windows PC, an advanced equalizer
can be accessed, allowing the user to adjust the frequency
response in the room and to actually see the frequency
response of the system on frequency curves before and
after compensation.
Copland
DRC-205 can be connected between the signal source and
amplifier, or to any amplifier with an ordinary analog
tape monitor in/output.
In
co-operation with Dynaton, Copland ofiers the opportunity
to upgrade the DDRC technology. Updates are done via user-friendly
software available for download on the Copland and Dynaton
websites.
