As tempting as it may be, we do not recommend cranking the intensity knob – the SUBPAC® M2X
is designed to be used at moderate levels for bass heavy music, and at higher levels for
acoustic-based music (funk, soul, jazz, classical, etc.). Be mindful of the clipping LED when turning
up the volume on your device connected to the M2X line input. Note that for higher input source
levels, it is possible to turn the intensity knob to a level that could damage your SUBPAC® M2X.
Use a healthy and reasonable volume signal from your listening device/output source to protect
your hearing.
The more direct contact the SUBPAC® M2X has with your body, the better the experience.
Using the SUBPAC® M2X, you will find that you will not need as much headphone volume in order
to feel the bass in your music. We hope this will add years of listening enjoyment to your life.
Lower headphone volume equals less hearing loss over time.
Discover new genres of music and rediscover your record collection with a SUBPAC® M2X.
There are many hidden elements of sound awaiting you when you can FEEL the music, even in
albums you thought you had fully experienced.
If you are a producer of music, be sure to feel the bass response of a number of different tracks
to create a reference point. Like any new piece of monitoring equipment, you need to understand
and calibrate your SUBPAC® M2X to get the most from the experience.
Match your workflow for the studio in four easy steps:
Select a song similar in style/production, and preferably in the same key, as the track you are
mixing/producing.
Before turning up the intensity of your SUBPAC® M2X, adjust the volume of the track you are
attempting to reference in your headphones, so that the kick drum in the reference song is the
same volume as the kick drum in the song you are mixing/producing.
Now play the reference song while you increase the intensity knob, until you find a level that suits
you.
Next, use the SUBPAC® M2X (without adjusting the intensity knob) to compare the reference song
to your song/mix and make adjustments accordingly, striving to match the intensity and volume in
the sub-bass, and bass frequencies of your song/mix to the reference song.
