Important Note:
Not all subwoofers are created equal.
Be realistic about your expectation of them. The laws of
physics apply here: An 8" subwoofer cannot physically move
the volume of air of a 12" sub (large air movement = bass). Do
not apply large (greater than 6dB) boosts to the subwoofer
EQ bands on the Richter Scale unless you are certain your
subwoofer can handle it. Some so-called subwoofers can
realistically only put out solid bass down to 40Hz. Large bass
equalization boosts and a good digital source may overheat
or damage your subwoofer.
Analysis
Adjusting the speaker response in the last three octaves is
nearly impossible to do with just your naked ears. That’s
why we built a half-octave warble tone analyzer into the
Richter Scale. The warble tone center frequency is adjusted
with the Warble Frequency Knob. What is “Warble Tone”?
Basically, it is a rapidly sweeping sine wave tone of fixed
amplitude within specific frequency limits. Is it accurate?
Very!
