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.

Emily ★★★★★

Pre-ordered back in August and the wait was worth it – the room correction effect is like someone lifted a curtain from the speakers. Imaging on my jazz records is scarily precise now, even with the windows open. The installation was fiddly, but once it’s set, you forget it’s there until you hear th

Adam ★★★★★

The FEQ Carbon really tightened up the imaging in my system, especially on complex jazz recordings. Even with a small room, the soundstage opened up noticeably wider than before. For the pre-order wait, the clarity it adds was worth it.

Victoria ★★★★★

The pre-order wait felt forever, but my first session with it made Carnegie Hall feel like a private living room. That "Twilight Zone" description is spot-on for how it reshapes the space around Charlie Parker’s sax.
