Application: Room gain relates primarily to two parameters of your room, its size (physical dimensions and openings to other rooms) and its structural integrity. While we can’t change the parameters of your room, we can adjust the output of the sub- woofer to perform better based on the room’s size. We accomplish this by applying an electronic filter to the input signal. The graph below depicts the results of the “Room Comp” knob.

The two parameters that you need to know when setting the room compensation switch are the room’s size (or volume) and resulting classification into small, medium, or large. The following explanation will help you determine both parameters.
Room Size Calculation: To determine the room size you will need to measure the length, width and height of the room. Once you have that information you will need to multiply those numbers together to equate the volume.
Room Volume = Length X Width X Height
Note: An increase in class may be needed if there are large openings to other rooms.
Approximate Room Size | Room Compensation Setting | |
> 2400ft3 | (68m3) | LARGE |
1400ft3 – 2400ft3 | (40m3 – 68m3) | MEDIUM |
< 1400ft3 | (40m3) | SMALL |
