How does PBK do what it does?
The process starts when a test signal is sent from your computer
to the subwoofer and the signal is picked up by the individually
calibrated microphone. The system puts the subwoofer through
a frequency sweep to highlight problem areas and determine
necessary adjustments. It asks you to position the microphone in
at least 5 different locations. Configurations are then saved on
the connected PC. The optimized solutions are calculated, then
uploaded to the subwoofer and the calculated room corrections
are put in place.
