Free design your acoustic frequency response curve for your exclusive music style



Never compromise on your acoustic environment


Everything we do during tracking, mixing, and mastering, is based on what we hear during sessions in our control room spaces, along with the effect the live recording space has on the sound we capture with our mics. 


If you can’t trust the room you work in to give you an accurate idea of what your recordings and mixes really sound like, then you can’t really trust your choices. This is an critical issue tripping up even experienced engineers and producers. SineMedia APC460R acoustic processor is a wise choice to be your weapon against all your studio acoustic problems. It optimizes your accoustic environment for the most neutral, most reliable sound quality to get the best results in all your studio endeavors.

World's first FPGA-based FIR acoustic calibration system


Different than any traditional  DSP processing systems causing more phase problems, the core of SineMedia APC's technology lies in its cutting-edge SineCore audio processing platform with the revolutionary high-order real-time FPGA-based FIR acoustic phase calibration system that rejects the compromise between perfect digital audio algorithms and latency and reproduces the nature of sound by three-dimensional standards of sampling precision, sampling frequency and phase accuracy. 

Aiming towards the studio environment, APC460R is designed to provide a wide and extremely precise stereo image and remarkable acoustic transparency to optimse your acoustic environment. It combines an ingenuous design and numerous settings to meet different needs of sound field measuring and calibration for small listening rooms, commercial recording venues, live shows, etc. to to deliver a uniquely pristine listening experience.

  • Phase contrast before and after processing: from 50Hz, the phase delay is reduced to less than 36 degrees, the bass phase difference does not exceed 20 degrees, the speaker in any space to become a minimum phase system.

  • Frequency response before and after the treatment: due to the resolution of the speaker phase resonance, the phase shift caused by the frequency divider (400Hz; 2.8Khz) and the reflection problem in the room (93Hz,270Hz), restored the speaker's frequency response in the free acoustic field.

Ultra-low I/O latency

Theoretically DSP FIR filter is characterized by a linear phase that adapts to the unique audio requirement - that is, changing the frequency domain without causing phase changes. In real cases, however, Due to DSP inborn performance issues, those FIR filters with over ten thousands taps cannot meet the real-time audio performance requirements due to its long delay, deriving more new phase problems. 


Therefore, for the first time, we have achieved low-latency performance and ensured that the filter runs without new phase delays by introducing high-performance FPGA parallel processing of high-order FIRs.

Everything is done in 10s



Traditional room correction systems is either too complicated or time consuming on setting up and measuring. However, APC's unique algorithm is different from those old-fashioned ways. It identifies the phse degradation simply using a microphone and delivers these problems to its Sonic Crystal software to generate a calibration solution automatically. 


It was designed to be very easy-to-use but also highly precise and without compromise in terms of sound quality and/ flexibility for advanced users. You don't need to be technical, just set up measurement microphone and press the compute button, the system will do all the left work for you. Finally, an elevated standard listening area is reproduced in 10 seconds.

The improvement of your room acoustics is OBVIOUS


  • Precisely achieve the minimum phase calibration and remove  subtle defects caused by crossovers, loudspeakers and room.

  • Deepen and tighten the bass to give a natural listening experience

  • Obviously lift the clarity of full-range frequency and perfectly reproduce every detail in superb performance

  • Significantly escalate sound image and musical calarity of the mixes with a much flatter frequency response.

  • Adapt to the acoustic environment easily and rapidly to create a perfect control room.
