Especially difficult are the multiple subwoofer cases where an enthusiast would have more than one subwoofer

- often in different parts of their listening rooms - in order to attempt to smooth bass response and perhaps

overcome some of the acoustical challenges of their environment. In many cases rather than improving their

situation, it was discovered that the interaction of multiple subwoofers in a room required even more effort

in order to get closer to a flat room in the bass frequencies.

In recent years, electronic EQ systems have evolved and become more commonplace in mid-to-high range

AVRs and Pre/Pros that attempt to correct room anomalies in a simple way that does not require an expert

(or an exhausted and frustrated enthusiast). In addition, since lower frequencies (sub 200Hz) present their

own special set of problems apart from the low-midrange to the upper frequency spectrum, a specialized

area of EQ just focusing on bass frequencies and subwoofers has emerged.

SV Sound and Audyssey Laboratories – each leaders in their respective fields of Speakers/Subwoofers and

Auto Equalization technology – have created the latest and most advanced subwoofer Auto EQ device to

date, the AS-EQ1. The AS-EQ1 is designed specifically to Auto EQ just subwoofers – and not just a single

subwoofer but duals – tackling one of the most difficult room EQ challenges facing the audio and home

theater enthusiast.

The AS-EQ1 specializes in the low frequency range where subwoofers are designed to operate. It will

interface with any Auto EQ system in your AVR or Pre/Pro, and will handle the subwoofer channel, leaving

the AVR or Pre/Pro to handle the speaker channels. Using sophisticated algorithms developed by Audyssey

Labs, the AS-EQ1 has the ability to flatten frequency response for one or multiple subwoofers to a level

previously unheard of even in the professional calibration ranks.

You are no longer at the mercy of your room acoustics, especially at the low end. You can now enjoy the best

sonic performance from your subwoofer, as intended by the design engineer, and you’ll now hear the music

and movie sound tracks as intended by the mastering/recording engineers.
