Using Auto EQ

Auto EQ is used to compensate for and correct for acoustic 
room anomalies that can cause inferior bass performance . 
Auto EQ takes a series of measurements in and around 
your primary listening position, makes complex calculations 
and applies those acoustic corrections- all from the comfort 
of your listening area .

1. 

To begin Auto EQ, make sure that the Auto EQ toggle is turned on, 
then press the Start button.

2. 

Choose up to 3 locations near your listening area and run each 
sweep. 

3. 

Once finished select “calculate” to apply the Auto EQ room correction to the subwoofer.

4. 

Repeat steps 1-3 for each additional subwoofer in the system.

Settings

1. 

Audio Sense. Sets the approximate time it takes before the 
subwoofer goes into Standby mode when no audio signal is 
present. You can select between 5, 10, 20, 30 minutes or always 
on

2. 

Reset to Default. Puts the subwoofer back to its factory default 
settings.

NOTE:

 Before you begin, be sure to shut 

off all sources of ambient noise before 
taking measurements . Failure to do so 
may cause undesired/sub-optimal effects .
