  • A powerful zone setup tool for the custom installer

Features

ZQ is a tremendous installation tool for the custom installer or a detailed audio control for the discerning listener.*

HLX PC Utility
Windows software for ADX and HLX setup and configuration.		 Save and Recall EQ Presets
Using the ADX or HLX PC utility, each zone's EQ settings can be adjusted and saved as a preset file – an incredibly useful tool for backing up a zone’s EQ settings, copying settings to other rooms or using an EQ preset on your next ADX or HLX installation.

Try it out: The PC Utility is available as a free download. You can run the utility to get a feel for ZQ capabilities, even before you have an HLX or ADX system.
