Bypass
Select if using the LFE input and plan to use the bass management in your electronics. This
is the most common setting when connected to an AC Receiver or Processor for Home
Theater or when connected to a “Subwoofer Out” on suitable electronics.
3rd Order
Select if using Left/Right speaker level or RCA inputs. This filter has a slope of 18dB
per octave (slower roll off than 4th order). For most applications without on board bass
management, this setting is ideal.
4th Order
Select if using Left/Right speaker level or RCA inputs. This filter has a slope of 24dB per
octave (faster roll off than 3rd order).
Phase
This is one of the more tricky settings to properly dial in on a system, but with the precise
control made possible through the app, it is much easier than traditional control methods.
If your electronics do not feature a way to adjust the subwoofer phase automatically, we
recommend the following simplified method.
1. Play a test tone of the low pass frequency you have chosen or a song with
repetitive bass at a moderate volume level.
2. Toggle on the “Inverted” setting in the “Phase/Polarity” menu within the app.
3. From your main listening position, adjust the phase setting until the bass appears
to be as quiet as possible.
4. When you have found the point where the bass is the most quiet, simply toggle the
“inverted” setting back to off and the bass should be noticeably stronger.
There are more precise way to perform this tuning, but there is some risk involved in
performing these other methods. We have found this method still works well without the
risk associated with extra steps involved. In short, adjust the phase setting to achieve the
strongest and best sounding bass from the subwoofer. By using the “inverted” setting, we
find it is easier to listen for the most quiet bass, then by turning “inverted” off, this should
result in the desired strong bass. A more detailed version of this method can be found in
the “Fine Tuning” section of this manual.
20-30Hz Level
20-30Hz is a range of sound where peaks and dips often develop in a listening room. If low-
bass sounds weak, increase this control. If low-bass sounds bloated, decrease this control.
This setting can be used in conjunction with ARC Genesis or independently to compensate
for room anomalies or modify sound to personal taste.
Room Correction
This allows you to toggle ARC Genesis on or off once the correction has been uploaded to
the subwoofer. This is an alternate location for the toggle switch seen on the main page of
the app and simply duplicated here for convenience.
