FlexBass

FlexBass, an advanced bass management and enhancement technology, allows you to select each satellite speaker’s type for optimal sound performance from the speakers. The Speaker types are:

•Small: common speaker that cannot produce low frequencies.

•Large: wide-band speakers that can produce low frequencies well.

FlexBass comes with an adjustable crossover frequency for the boundary of the bass signals. It filters out the bass signals from small speaker channels and redirects them all to the subwoofer or Large speakers.

Select the speaker type that you connected. If your speaker type cannot perform low-frequency signals (bass), select “Small” speaker type and Xonar Essence

ST filters out the bass signals and sends them to the subwoofer channel. If those speakers are full-range, you can select the “Large” speaker type.

Usually, low-cost computer’s 2-channel speakers are small-type speakers. Common 2.1 speakers with a subwoofer are categorized as Large speakers because the subwoofer redirects the bass signals inside the two channels to the subwoofer speaker automatically.
