Bass, Treble and Loudness Compensation
The MX134 allows for changing the tonal response for any
of the eleven inputs via the BASS, TREBLE and LOUD-
NESS Compensation TRIM Adjustments. Any tonal
changes made are saved in permanent memory and auto-
matically recalled any time that particular input is selected
again. The Bass and Treble Tonal Response can be adjusted
up or down by 12db from the Flat Setting.
The Loudness Control Function automatically increases
bass response as the volume level is lowered for improved
listening at softer volume levels. The amount of Loudness
Boost is adjustable in 10% increments from 10% to 100%.
The maximum Loudness boost is 18dB, less any bass boost
that may have been previously set by the Bass Trim func-
tion. For example if the Bass is boosted 10dB, the maxi-
mum additional Loudness boost will be 18dB less 10dB or
8dB.
Note: If tonal adjustments are performed on an input when the
Surround Mode is set to the THX CINEMA, a flat tonal
response will be reset for that input when the MX134 is
switched Off.
