stage matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExakt processing divides the music signal digitally into the channels required by the connected loudspeaker configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore those individual channels can be amplified, they need to be converted from digital information into analogue electrical signals. The DAC therefore sits at a critical point between Exakt crossover processing and the amplifier stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Katalyst upgrade changes this conversion architecture while allowing the wider Exaktbox-I system design to remain in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rococo-premium-intro\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"rococo-editorial-eyebrow\"\u003eA targeted

be a more focused route than replacing the complete component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe existing digital crossover architecture and integrated amplification remain part of the system, while the conversion stage is updated to Katalyst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach is particularly relevant where the wider loudspeaker and Exakt configuration is already correctly designed and
