Frequently Asked Questions

When should Bass Management be used?

It is only required if you are using smaller satellite speakers that cannot reproduce low bass frequencies.

How do I prevent digital clipping when re-routing low frequencies?

Check the 'PCM Limit' box in General Settings to momentarily attenuate the output volume when it exceeds available digital headroom.

What does setting the Crossover Freq control do?

It sets the frequency at which the system splits the signal, sending bass below that point to the subwoofer and high frequencies above it to main channels.

How can I manually adjust the subwoofer's loudness?

Use the 'Boost (dB)' slider, which allows increasing or decreasing the subwoofer loudness by up to 12 dB relative to the main channels.
