QBASS PLUS

On 

DCX 600.4DCX 800.5, and DCX 1000.4 amplifiers, we’ve taken

bass control to a higher level with 

QBASS PLUS

TM

. The two

QBASS

TM

switches (labeled 1 and 2) on the front end of the amplifier

allow you to select one of four frequency centers 30Hz, 36Hz, 44Hz
and 60Hz. On the rear end plate you will find the 

QBASS

TM

level

control and plug-in for an optional 

QBASS REMOTE

TM

dash

mounted level control. Adjust the level control clockwise for up to
+18dB of boost at your selected frequency.

CAUTION:

QBASS PLUS

TM

should only be used in systems with a

strong subwoofer section. +18dB is a tremendous amount of bass
boost and may damage your speakers or create excessive distortion
if abused.

The optional 

QBASS REMOTE

TM

: This boost control can be

mounted in the dash and will supersede the boost control on the
endplate.

The 

PrecisionPower DCX

TM

amplifiers no longer need an optional

QPORT

TM

to connect multiple 

QBASS PLUS

TM

equipped amplifiers

while using one 

QBASS REMOTE

TM

. The new 

QBASS PLUS

TM

circuitry in the 

DCX amplifiers is now positioned before the

crossover circuit. In doing this, 

PrecisionPower

TM

engineers have

allowed you to daisy chain your RCA output to the next amplifier
input, causing the first amplifier’s 

QBASS REMOTE

TM

to become the

master control amplifier. See your authorized 

PrecisionPower

TM

dealer for more information!
