Advanced Features: Room Compensation

In typical home theaters a phenomenon known as ―room gain” can play a major role in how accurately bass is produced.

When any subwoofer produces notable bass energy below 27Hz, the output you will perceive is different than the sub’s normal output would be (if unaf- fected by your room’s walls).

The difference in theoretical bass, versus actual bass response, is depicted in the graph below. The red trace indicates a subwoofer response outdoors, but line in blue indicates the same subwoofer’s response in a mid-sized room.

―Room gain‖ can create excessive deep bass which can sound exaggerated simply due to interaction with your room .
