BASS GAIN
OPERATION - SPACEHORN
DSP SETTINGS
The BASS GAIN slider sets the overall volume of the subwoofer.
The BASS BOOST slider increases the low f requency response
below 45 Hz. This allows to tailorize the bass response f rom “linear”
to “fat”.
For individual f requency settings use the 8 x band equalizer .
Each of the 8 x bands can be increased or decreased by up to 4dB.
This can be used to tailor your bass response to specif ic sounds
(linear, techno, disco, pop, etc.) or to reduce some wide–band room
resonances.
The LPF–RANGE slider sets the upper crossover f requency of the
subwoofer. The crossover f requency in its factory setting is linear.
The f requency response of the subwoofer seamlessly crosses over to
the f requency response of the midrange horn. Both response
curves do not overlap and there is no gap inbetween. The crossover
point can be used to adjust the “tonal balance” of the system.
When set to a higher f requency, the subwoofer will partly overlap
with the midrange horn response. This will add “warmth” and give
a richer “body” to the sound character of certain voices and
instruments.
If the crossover f requency is purposely set to a lower f requency,
subwoofer and midrange f requency response will have a small gap.
The tonal balance of the system will shift to a more horn typical
“dynamic” and “punchy” sound.
FILTER 1 & 2 are narrow band notch f ilters with a negative gain
of –3dB or –6dB. These f ilters can be used to elimante/reduce
unwanted narrow band resonance f requencies of the room.
Use commonly available f requency sweep apps to detect the
position (Hz) of possibly available room modes. Or play music
through your system and slowly slide the FILTER set at –6dB
upwards until the “boominess” improves.
