About the C-9

The Carver C-9 Sonic Hologram Generator is a unique audio processing unit that aims to improve the stereo listening experience by electronically eliminating acoustical crosstalk. This crosstalk occurs when sound from one speaker is heard by the opposite ear, causing anomalies in sound perception. The C-9 achieves this by sending an inverted copy of the audio signal to the opposing speaker, effectively canceling out the unwanted sound at the listener's ear. This process can create a more immersive audio environment, making it seem as though sound is coming from various directions around the listener, similar to a multi-speaker setup. The device features simple controls, including settings for injection ratio and listening aperture, which allow users to customize the effect to their preference. It is particularly effective with recordings that have strong spatial cues and when used with speakers that are optimally positioned relative to the listener.
