“LF/Warm EQ” 

 
Rather than applying a boost and cut as the MF/HF controls 
do, we designed this tweaker to behave in a way that would 
allow users to choose between two different  types of bass 
equalization. 
 

In the counterclockwise direction the tweaker provides deep bass with 
a small reduction of energy near 180-200Hz. This is one method to 
enhance bass in an automobile listening environment without 
exaggerating resonances that can occur near 200Hz. In the clockwise 
direction of the LF/Warm EQ control a broad bass equalization is 
applied creating a warm, fat sound on the lower frequencies.  
 
In the series of graphics below the default EQ of a preset is compared 
to the EQ at the maximum and minimum settings of the GUI Lite 
LF/Warm EQ knob.
