About the GRIP

The GRIP offers you advanced methods for processing and generating low frequencies for live or recorded music. It does this via two different methods of signal processing. First, it gives you several different means of adjusting the character and level of the low frequencies of the input signal. Second, it includes a proprietary sub-harmonic synthesizer that creates sub-bass signals harmonically related to—but not present in—the original signal. In short, it improves the bass that is there, and creates sub-bass where none exists.

We created the GRIP so that it adjusts only the low frequencies of an input signal so that you can improve the bass without sacrificing the quality of the middle or upper ranges. Furthermore, you have precise control over which low frequencies are processed by the GRIP. This can add a high-fidelity sound to any musical scenario: a DJ setup, a club PA system, sound reinforcement at a concert and even studio or home recording projects involving any sort of instrument.
