Sound presets
Experience individual sound customization with the downloadable sound presets of the Econik SIX. These allow you to make fundamental changes to the speaker tuning that are perfectly tailored to your application and personal taste. In addition, these presets help you to minimize room acoustic problems. You can choose between different presets, including options for near-wall placement, use in reverberant rooms, with low bass extension or use in a studio. This allows you to tailor your listening experience to your exact preferences and requirements.
At Econik Speakers, we pride ourselves on offering you acoustic precision that has been developed to perfection in our laboratories. But we know that the room you place your speakers in has its own personality that can affect the sound. To ensure you can experience the sound we've designed in any environment, we've introduced Sound Presets - your solution for a consistent sound signature no matter where you listen.
Simplicity and efficiency through technology
We bring the developer's expertise to your home. With a USB stick and a few simple steps, you can update your speaker's crossover - no tools, no risk and no waiting time. This process allows you to adjust the sound signature of your speaker at the touch of a button. Close to the wall, a reverberant room or a complex home theater setup - there is a suitable sound preset for every situation.
Comparison with the expansion of the crossover for passive loudspeakers
Imagine if you had to open up your passive speaker, remove the crossover, take it to a developer to reconfigure it and then reinstall it. This would be a complex and expensive process that requires expertise and risks damaging the delicate hardware.
With Econik's sound presets, this process is now as easy as downloading a file. Our presets are the result of intensive research and fine-tuning, bringing every component of the speaker - from the tweeter to the woofer - into a new, optimized configuration. It's a complete redesign of the internal crossover, tailor-made for specific acoustic environments.
A new age of sound customization
Downloading and applying a sound preset is a transformative experience. You'll experience how the acoustic landscape of your room changes, how the soundstage opens up and how every note comes to life with the clarity and intensity our developers intended.
- Connect a USB stick (FAT32) to your computer.
- Download the desired sound preset and copy it to the USB stick.
Note: The file must not be renamed, otherwise it cannot be recognized correctly by the speaker. Make sure that there is only one sound preset on the USB stick. - Switch off the speaker and insert the USB stick into the USB port on the back of the speaker.
- Switch on the speaker while the USB stick is connected. The LEDs on the back of the speaker make a rapid circular movement. The sound preset has now been successfully installed and the USB stick can be removed.
Note: If the LEDs are constantly rotating in a circle, the file cannot be read and installed correctly.

Choose your Design.
Add preamp.
Stereo Hub and Surround Hub offer two options for sound correction: an automatic calibration system and manual EQ settings. These functions can be used independently or in combination to achieve customized sound optimization.
Automatic calibration for the perfect bass
The calibration system uses advanced algorithms to automatically analyze and adjust the bass range of your room. Targeted correction below 500 Hz makes the bass more precise, controlled and free from unwanted resonances or overemphasis that can be caused by room acoustics. The result is a clean, tight bass that forms the basis for a clear and detailed overall presentation. This selective calibration process ensures that the room acoustics are corrected precisely where it is needed most, without compromising the sound quality in the mid and high frequencies. As a result, headroom is maintained and dynamics are not restricted, which is particularly important at higher frequencies.
Manual EQ settings for individual preferences
With the manual EQ settings, you have the option of completely customizing the sound. With a selection of parametric, low-pass, high-pass, high-shelf and low-shelf filters, you can target specific frequency ranges. These settings allow you to change the sound character of your loudspeaker and tailor it perfectly to your listening habits.
Three memory locations for individual manual settings
To increase flexibility even further, you can save up to three different EQ configurations in presets. This allows you to quickly and easily switch between different sound profiles, depending on what you are listening to or what mood you want to create. Whether for an intimate jazz concert, a dynamic movie scene or relaxed background music - with the storable EQ presets you can adjust the sound in no time at all.
