Description
The XTR Cross Talk Reduction Circuit gives your turntable the channel separation and phasing of digital.
*With test record – $365.00
To get the optimum sound from any turntable, the tone arm and cartridge must be adjusted to within a few thousandths of an inch to minimize the effect of axial tilt (when the cartridge needle of the turntable is not perpendicular to the record groove.) Another contributor to Cross Talk is a low dB channel separation of the cartridge. Simply put, the stereo signal from the left side leaks into the right side, and vice versa. These physical issues have a negative effect on the depth and width of the sound stage depth and the image placement of instruments and voices.
The XT-R represents a breakthrough because axial tilt and crosstalk are compensated for electronically, up to 7 degrees of axial tilt and a reduction of crosstalk to 48 dB. Calibrate and correct using the built-in meter and a Calibrated Test LP* to correct for natural channel imbalance that all stylus has based on their design.
The Black Ice FOZ XTR makes a $60 phono cartridge sound like it cost you $1000!
*The Black Ice FOZ XTR is available through Black Ice Direct only.
