Sub Filter
This filter rolls off the bass frequencies,
 (<170Hz 12dB/ octave for the technical 
people) . This is useful in a biamped system 
where this cabinet does the mid / high 
frequencies and a dedicated bass enclosure 
such as a CXsub-A  does the bass. It could 
also be useful in a vocal only PA where you 
could use it to remove muddyness and 
rumble .
