Ted Keffalo, who started Event Electronics has a new company called Equator Audio Research that’s trying to do something really special in monitoring. It has three sizes of digitally-controlled bi-amplified references monitors–q10, q12 and q15 (as well as a subwoofer)–and they each have a CPU inside for DSP room correction. Equator uses its proprietary Secondary Reflection Correction system which includes computer software and can support a network of speakers as large as three separate 8.2 surround systems connected via USB or CAT5 connections on each speaker.

Equator monitors also have digitally controlled transducers that can correct anomalies that are inevitable in the transducer production process and can result in small but noticeable boosts or dips in certain frequency ranges.
