3.2 BIG BOTTOM FREQUENCY CONTROL
This control lets you optimize the bass
enhancement frequency band. Where this is
set depends upon your sound system and the
type of music being played. Typically, 12:00 is
a universal position. However, you may want
to experiment with other settings. The range is
from 50Hz to 200Hz. At center, you are tuned
to about 80Hz.
3.3 BIG BOTTOM AMOUNT CONTROL
This control adjusts the amount of Big Bottom
enhancement being added to the original
signal. The lower the setting, the subtler the
effect until there is no effect at all. The higher
the setting, the more dramatic the effect.
One of the benefi ts of the Big Bottom is that
it can increase the bass power without greatly
increasing the peak output level. That means
that loudspeakers and amplifi ers will not be
over driven even though the bass has been
extended and increased in power. Extreme
settings of the Big Bottom Amount control,
however, will increase the peak output level
signifi cantly, so we recommend staying within
some reasonable limits.
Generally, the best results are found between
the 9 and 2 o’clock settings. Try working the
Big Bottom Tune, Drive, and Mix controls
when maximizing the bass enhancement.
