3.3. Main Control Panel
The Main Control Panel is in the center of the expanded mode, and it provides access to
advanced settings for most PSA2 HD controls, which are grouped in five separate tabs. See

If only the Compact control panel is visible, you must expand it by clicking on the Resize button on
the right hand corner, next to the Close icon. See Figure 9.
If the Visualization Control Panel is covering the Main Control Panel, slide the Visualization
Control Panel cover down to reveal the Main Control Panel by clicking on the arrow at the middle
of the lower edge of the Visualization Control Panel. See Figure 8.

Once the Main Control Panel is open, you can choose any of the tabs to select the desired set of
controls. The following is a description of each tab from left to right:
3.3.1. Effects Tab
The Effects Tab is the first of the Main Control Panel tabs. Below is a description of all the
features on the Effects tab.
QSizzle
QSizzle is a mid and high frequency (treble) enhancement algorithm that helps to compensate for
the loss of presence, punch and signal detail that often results from compressed digital media,
such as MP3 and WMA formats.
QSizzle self-adjusts in real time according to frequency response of the input signal. This is
different from the Equalizer, which is a fixed frequency processor. The Equalizer does not monitor
the input signal or perform self-adjustment. The label QSizzle Active appears in illuminated text
when QSizzle is enabled, and QSizzle Off when disabled.
QRumble
QRumble is a powerful low frequency enhancement algorithm that helps to compensate for loss of
bass that may result from compressed digital media such as MP3’s or WMA formats.
