Subsonic Myọcha
A 24dB/octave subsonic filter set at 25Hz helps protect your subwoofer by removing extremely low, inaudible frequencies that can cause excessive cone excursion and potential damage. It also improves efficiency by preventing the amplifier from wasting power on these frequencies.
KickEQ Bass Boost
The KickEQ offers a variable 0-6dB bass boost centered at 40Hz. Use this feature to enhance low-frequency response. Adjust carefully to avoid distortion and speaker damage.
