Maxxbass Processor Settings

To achieve proper performance it is important to set or tune the settings on the MaxxBass® Processor to the final system. This section recommends initial settings and the users can then further adjust these for optimal listening.

1.CROSSOVER: The CROSSOVER control implements a - 24dB/octave low pass filter on the input. Set the CROSSOVER control to OFF if the amplifier and speakers after the MaxxBass® Processor are full range speakers or if passive crossovers are used in the speakers. Set the CROSSOVER control to ON, if the MaxxBass® Processor is only used on a woofer channel and separate amplifiers and speakers are provided for tweeters.

2.FREQUENCY: The FREQUENCY control should be set to 60Hz for 6.5 inch door speakers and 80Hz for 5.25 to 4.0 inch door speakers.

3.INPUT: The INPUT control is a signal attenuator for high voltage inputs. The CLIP LED can be used to help set the maximum input level setting prior to clipping. Start with INPUT control near MIN position and increase INPUT level until the Clip LED lights occasionally.

4.OUTPUT: The OUTPUT control provides a linear gain on the output to help match signal levels to power amplifiers. Start with OUTPUT control near MIN position and adjust accordingly to match levels with other system components.

5.INTENSITY: The INTENSITY control provides an input to the MaxxBass® algorithm on the level of the effect. Start with INTENSITY near MIN position and increase until the desired level of bass effect is obtained.

The INTENSITY control on the MaxxBass® Processor and Remote Unit have identical functionality. At the MIN position on the INTENSITY control, the MaxxBass® algorithm is in bypass, so that no MaxxBass® processing occurs.
