The Telos Macro Q is an active USB noise-cancellation device designed to improve the quality and stability of digital audio transmission. Using dedicated detection and compensation circuitry, it monitors the USB connection in real time and actively counteracts high-frequency noise introduced by a computer’s switching power supply. As a result, the USB signal can maintain greater purity and stability between the source and connected audio equipment.
Real-time USB noise cancellation
The Macro Q continuously monitors the USB channel for irregular high-frequency noise. When unwanted noise is detected, its dedicated IC generates a precisely calibrated reverse signal that mirrors the detected interference. This creates a dynamic noise trap that actively offsets the unwanted noise in real time.
Designed for cleaner digital transmission
USB connections can carry high-frequency electrical noise from computers and their switching power supplies into digital audio systems. While buffering and asynchronous USB transmission can address data-transfer errors, they do not necessarily eliminate the underlying electrical noise and jitter. The Macro Q is designed to address this physical layer directly, helping create a cleaner transmission path.
Dynamic synchronization
The Macro Q continuously adapts its compensation signal to the detected noise, maintaining precise synchronization with the USB transmission. Once connected, it remains synchronized unless a new digital device is introduced into the system. Consequently, the correction remains closely matched to the changing noise environment during operation.
Advanced active compensation
Telos uses two dedicated ICs for noise detection and compensation, creating an active correction system rather than relying solely on passive cable or conductor design. By dynamically counteracting unwanted interference, the Macro Q helps preserve the integrity of the USB signal from the source to the connected audio equipment.
