FEQ Carbon

Next Stop: The Twilight Zone.

Imagine listening to Charlie Parker at Birdland, then walk into Carnegie Hall and getting seated in the best seats in the house. This is possible when you add the Atmosphere FEQ Carbon to your listening room. The Synergistic Research FEQ Carbon is a third-generation, two-channel acoustic field generator that allows you to tailor the size and scale of your soundstage with stunning realism, to portray the music and venue you are experiencing accurately.

New to the FEQ Carbon is a wholly redesigned PCB with dual RF generators. The first function of the redesign was to provide the ability to create different wave shapes, and the second was the addition of a 2nd, independently controlled ULF generator channel.  This is similar to what has been used in our Atmosphere Infinity but is the first FEQ to have this ability, which meant hundreds of hours in the listening room finding the perfect combination of options and settings.  Next, the new carbon fiber chassis is cosmetically beautiful an improves the broadcast of ULF frequencies through its conductive weave. As a result, layering, three-dimensionality, and holographic realism are much improved over all single frequency FEQs of the past decade.  In some aspects, the FEQ Carbon outperforms the much larger and more complex Synergistic Research Atmosphere Infinity as we have isolated two different frequency combinations that represent a near-perfect yin and yang with focus and clarity on acoustic recordings and a more holographic soundstage on recordings mastered to convey a large and enveloping sound field.

Two frequency bias, one perfect sound.

Blue Frequency: voiced for acoustic instruments, vocals, and smaller-scale performances.  Note: FEQ Carbons manufactured before 12-5-2022 had this setting as red

Red Frequency: convincingly portrays large-scale performances and electronic music.  Note: FEQ Carbons manufactured before 12-5-2022 had this setting as purple

 

 

ATM Carbon

FEQ Carbon Tuning Module

The new ATM Carbon was explicitly voiced for the new FEQ Carbon with its breakthrough ULF frequency combinations. Still, it is also a significant improvement over RED and GREEN ATMs when used with Atmosphere Acoustic Field Generators. When you place ATM Carbon atop FEQ Carbon, you create a more natural holographic scale with a lower perceived noise floor for effortless sound where vocals and instruments take on lifelike timbre. In addition, frequency extension improves from bottom to top, where high frequencies seem to decay into a much larger space, and bass notes are better controlled and more impactful. Think of ATM Carbon as a turbo charger for the new FEQ Carbon. Available with a no-risk 30-day money-back guarantee so you can confirm performance before making a final decision.

 

 

FEQ Carbon - Acoustic Field Generator

A/B recodings

We recommend listening with your high-end headphones or download the hi-rez audio files to listen through your audio system.  In-home auditions are available from your Synergistic Research dealer.

 

 

The Sun and RF Propagation on Earth

There are three major disturbances on the Sun that affect radio propagation here on Earth. Solar Flares, Coronal Holes, and Sudden Disappearing Filament (SDF). Each disturbance causes both electromagnetic radiation and ejection of material from the Sun that alters RF on Earth. What we looked at was how each of these disturbances affects our RF environment during the day vs. late at night with the intention to mimic late-night conditions to improve sound mid-day.

"greater or less spaciousness, greater focus, more or less detail, depending on the option chosen " - David W. Robinson


 

 

 

Synergistic Research – HFTs, Black Box, and Atmosphere XL4 - Read More

"As good as everything sounds, it only got better with the Atmosphere XL4. Amazingly, what you read in the scene descriptions is exactly what you get. As mentioned, we were very fond of the “Ethereal” + “Air & Grounded” settings. The improvement in resolution, contrast, and control almost sounded like a source upgrade. I wish I were exaggerating. " - Steve

 

Synergistic Research HFT and FEQ - Read More

"The HFT/FEQ combination serves to make your listening room canvas more pristine so that when your audio system paints the music on it, the end result is a lot more true to life. Needless to say, the Synergistic Research HFT/FEQ combination I used in this review is not going anywhere. They are now an integral part of my reference audio system. " -  Malcolm J. Gomes
