Loudness Compensation

creases 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% of the available boost. The maximum available
Loudness boost is 18dB, less any bass boost that may have
been previously set by the Bass Trim function. For ex-
ample if the Bass is boosted 10dB, the maximum addi-
tional Loudness boost will be 18dB less 10dB or 8dB. Any

used in THX CINEMA mode will revert back to 0 or the
flat setting when the MX132 is turned off.
