This revolutionary DAC/preamp and digital crossover is the ultimate solution for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts seeking pristine sound quality. The Wavelet II tackles the most common and challenging acoustic problem: your room. It’s the essential tool for Legacy Audio room correction, ensuring the sound you hear is exactly as the artist intended.
Legacy Wavelet II: Your Room’s Ultimate Audio Solution
Rooms are acoustic battlegrounds, and resonances wreak havoc on frequencies below 500Hz, muddying bass and obscuring details. The Wavelet II is a powerful DSP for home theater and stereo systems, using advanced processing to analyze your room’s unique acoustic signature. It makes precise calculations to reduce destructive resonant energy up to 40 milliseconds late, resulting in a dramatic improvement in tonal balance and pitch definition. The difference isn’t subtle; it’s a revelation.

The Legacy Wavelet II effortlessly integrates into any high-end audio setup from vinyl to DAC. The Wavelet II accommodates both analog and digital sources with its versatile connectivity options.
Two pairs of balanced XLR and two pairs of unbalanced RCA inputs let you connect your analog gear without fear of digital artifacts. An advanced filtering (apodizing) circuit corrects the pre-ringing inherent in digital codecs, preserving the integrity of your music.
Enjoy flawless digital playback with asynchronous USB audio up to 32-bit/384kHz, AES/EBU, SPDIF, and TosLink inputs. The Wavelet II processes all signals at a staggering 64-bit depth, providing a resolution more than a trillion times finer than a standard CD.
