Expert Bass Management

When it is desirable to fine tune subwoofer
integration beyond what is possible in Standard
Bass Management Mode,
Expert. The flexibility within can achieve greater
subwoofer integration, but should only be used
by calibrators with sufficient skill otherwise
comparably poor results may be inevitable.
Compared to Standard mode, Expert includes the
following features:
• Additional Size/Filter options
• Ability to separate HPF and LPF
frequency and slope per channel
• Ability to mix SUB bass (not just LFE
bass) back into channels set to Large,
Large and Sub and Large with Sub.
Size/Filter
Speakers may be set to one of the following
4 options:
Small: Channel is high pass filtered according
•
to the HPF frequency and slope. Bass is routed
to subwoofer channels according to frequency
and slope defined by LPF frequency and
slope. Small speakers cannot have subwoofer
or LFE bass mixed in.
Large: Channel is not band limited. Channel
•
can have subwoofer and/or LFE bass mixed in.
• Large and Sub: Channel is not band limited,
but a copy of bass for this channel is routed
to subwoofer channels as well. Set the
frequency below which bass should be sent
to the subwoofer and the slope at which the
crossover occurs.
Large with Sub: This special case enables you
•
to effectively split a full range loudspeaker
into a "small speaker" plus "virtual subwoofer".
The HPF frequency and slope define the
characteristic of the "small speaker" portion.
LPF frequency and slope define the virtual
subwoofer characteristic.

Should you wish to map a physical analog
output channel to a loudspeaker other than the

choose a currently occupied new output channel,
that channel will be automatically reassigned.
