FEQ

About the FEQ

The Synergistic Research FEQ is a unique device in the HiFi market, primarily functioning as an acoustic field generator rather than a traditional frequency equalizer. It is designed to improve the overall audio experience by generating ultra-low-frequency (ULF) radio-wave pulses. These pulses are intended to overpower radio-frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the listening environment, thereby enhancing sound quality. The FEQ is notable for its ability to treat an entire room with a single unit, unlike some other room treatment devices that require multiple units. It incorporates a proprietary ground plane that grounds the active circuitry, similar to Synergistic’s Tranquility Base component platform and Powercell power conditioners. The benefits of using the FEQ include improved weight and definition in the lower frequencies, increased high-frequency 'air' and refinement, greater midrange palpability, and expanded layering. When combined with Synergistic Research's High Frequency Transducer (HFT), the FEQ's effects are amplified, as the low-frequency pulse excites the HFTs, enhancing their performance.
