Hypex UcD AS2.100

maximum delay is 1ms = 1000us per chanel.

Yes of course! Thank you for the correction.

Actually the lack of delay for the sub channel is a big drawback for me. I would like to set up a system with a single sub between the front speakers. The initial plan was to use a single AS2.100 plus a separate UcD400 amp to do the amplification for the sub. But with the speakers along the front wall the sub channel would have to be delayed ~2ms.

I could use two modules and a dual voicecoil sub but even then 1ms=34cm may not be enough delay to play with.

The reason we did not implement a delay on the subwoofer channel is that in a normal setup you will not need a delay because the woofer is most likely in front of the mid/tweeter. Every function in the DSP costs some memory space so we chose to use it for other functions.

I agree that the sub is generally closer to the listener than the main channels. But I would think that the speaker closest to the listener would have most need for delay?

I'm now concidering to use another AS2.100 for the sub to get delay. But even then I fear that 1ms may not be enough as the sub would be 50-60cm closer to the listening position than the main speakers.

Quick question

Is there a US version? The manual specifies 230v for use in Europe, and the web shop does not indicate a version for 115v for use in the US.

Thanks,

Just order them, make a note in the order system, and we will ship you a 115V version!

How does the upcoming "High End" version differ from the AS2.100, performance-wise, disregarding features?

You cannot compare this, the high end version will have a separate DSP and A/D-D/A converters (TI and AKM).

I do realise that it is a different configuration. What I'm trying to understand is what performance gains will be had from doing this, that differentiates it as being high end? Or, to put it conversely, what precludes the current design from being labelled high end? Is it a question of performance or style?

You cannot compare these two products, the AS2.100 is a plate amp 2x100W with a DSP on board. The upcoming high end solution is only a PCB with 2-channel input and max 6-channel output, all symmetrical inputs. You will need separate amplifiers to create your multichannel system.
