not actually capable of producing because the human brain equates the presence of low frequency harmonics to the missing fundamentals that the small speaker is unable to reproduce. On systems with larger speakers, the effect of Phat Bass becomes subtler because the extended frequency response of those systems allows the fundamentals of the low notes to be heard, masking the added harmonics contributed by Phat Bass. Be careful though, too much Phat Bass boost can lead to excessive gain reduction in the lower AGC bands and may cause muddiness with certain program material. A little goes a long way.

Xover (Crossover)
Low Drive
Adjusts the amount of gain reduction in the Low Band AGC. Higher numbers result in more drive and because of the increased compression, a more consistent output from the band.
Mid Drive
Adjusts the amount of gain reduction in the Mid Band AGC. Higher numbers result in more drive and because of the increased compression, a more consistent output from the band.
Pres Drive
Adjusts the amount of gain reduction in the Presence Band AGC. Higher numbers result in more drive and because of the increased compression, a more consistent output from the band.
Hi Drive
Adjusts the amount of gain reduction in the High Band AGC. Higher numbers result in more drive and because of the increased compression, a more consistent output from the band.

Low Band AGC
Attack
The attack control adjusts how fast the AGC responds to sudden increases in audio level, and higher numbers equate to faster response times. Faster attack times reduce the transient nature of the input audio, while slower attack times improve it. Extremely slow attack times must be used with caution because allowances must be made in later stages to not overload them during the time when the broadband AGC is adjusting the level downwards. Likewise, extremely fast attack times (especially when combined with very slow release times) can “punch holes” or overreact to the band of audio being processed.
